Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

whatsapp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WhatsApp

Use the whatsapp bridge to read and send WhatsApp messages via the wacli CLI.

When to Use

  • User asks to send a WhatsApp message
  • Reading WhatsApp conversation history
  • Searching WhatsApp chats or messages

When NOT to Use

  • Telegram messages -> reply normally (Ciana routes automatically)
  • iMessage/SMS -> use the imessage bridge
  • Any other messaging platform

Pre-flight: Ensure Sync is Running

Before any WhatsApp operation, check that wacli is connected and syncing:

  1. Run wacli-daemon status to check if the sync daemon is running
  2. If the status is "stopped", start it: wacli-daemon start
  3. After starting, wait a few seconds, then verify with wacli doctor that CONNECTED is true
  4. Only then proceed with the actual command

This ensures messages are always up-to-date without requiring the user to manually sync.

If wacli doctor shows AUTHENTICATED as false, tell the user they need to re-authenticate with wacli auth on the host (this requires scanning a QR code and cannot be done remotely).

Commands

All commands run via host_execute(bridge="whatsapp", command="...").

Sync Daemon Management

wacli-daemon status          # Check if sync is running
wacli-daemon start           # Start sync in background (idempotent)
wacli-daemon stop            # Stop background sync

List Chats

wacli chats list --limit 20
wacli chats list --limit 20 --query "John"

Search Messages

wacli messages search "query" --limit 20
wacli messages search "query" --limit 20 --chat <jid>
wacli messages search "query" --after 2025-01-01 --before 2025-02-01

Send Text

wacli send text --to "+14155551212" --message "Hello!"

For groups, use JID format:

wacli send text --to "[email protected]" --message "Hello group!"

Send File

wacli send file --to "+14155551212" --file /path/to/image.jpg --caption "Check this"

Auth & Diagnostics

wacli auth          # Interactive QR code authentication (host only)
wacli doctor        # Check auth/connection/store status

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
