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

ops-inbox scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 355 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OPS ► INBOX ZERO

Load ops-rules before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If AskUserQuestion / Workflow are missing, follow Rule 10 in ops-rules (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; delegate_task).

⚠️ WHATSAPP TRANSPORT — MCP ONLY, NEVER wacli

For all WhatsApp operations in this skill (list chats, read messages, search contacts, send replies, archive chats), use the mcp__whatsapp__* tool family backed by the whatsmeow (Go) whatsapp-bridge — upstream lharries/whatsapp-mcp. (Earlier docs misnamed this as "Baileys" — Baileys is the Node.js WhatsApp library; this bridge uses go.mau.fi/whatsmeow.)

Server name. mcp__whatsapp__* is the single-account default. Installs with more than one account register one server per account (whatsapp-nl, whatsapp-us, whatsapp-personal, whatsapp-work, ...) and have no plain mcp__whatsapp__* at all. whatsapp-cos is not an account — do not send on it. Resolve the real name from the available tools before the first call, and when several accounts exist, scan each one separately and keep the results labelled by account. See CLAUDE.md / ops-rules Rule 8.

NEVER call the legacy wacli CLI (wacli chats list, wacli messages list, wacli send, wacli doctor, wacli history backfill, etc). The wacli store and keepalive daemon are deprecated for this skill.

If you find yourself reaching for any wacli ... shell command, stop and use the MCP tool with the same intent:

Intent ✅ Use this ❌ Do NOT use
List recent chats mcp__whatsapp__list_chats {sort_by: "last_active", limit: 25} wacli chats list
Read full thread mcp__whatsapp__list_messages {chat_jid, limit: 20} wacli messages list
Full-text search mcp__whatsapp__list_messages {query: "<text>", limit: 20} wacli messages search
Resolve a contact mcp__whatsapp__search_contacts {query: "<name>"} wacli contacts
Send a reply (after approval) mcp__whatsapp__send_message {recipient: "<JID>", message: "<text>"} wacli send
Health check ops-wa-accounts --list, then curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "$WA_API/api/v1/status" (401 is healthy when the route is Bearer-gated). Never lsof :8080, never launchctl kickstart unless policy says the bridge is local. wacli doctor / ~/.wacli/.health
Trigger history backfill curl -fsS -X POST "$WA_API/api/backfill" (resolve $WA_API first — see "WHICH NUMBER" below; claude-ops patch — runs per-chat against the 50 most-recent chats; bridge also auto-backfills 5s after every Connected event)

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.
