Whazaa: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/setup/SKILL.md

setup is a skill for Claude Code from mnott/Whazaa. It costs 109 tokens per session (2,779 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A setup guide for Whazaa, a WhatsApp connection used with the AIBroker messaging system. It explains how to install and configure the local clone and the supporting background services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clone Whazaa when needed, identify its repository path, configure AIBroker, and start the WhatsApp watcher. It asks for user input only when a QR-code scan is required.
Why use it?
It prevents common setup mistakes, such as treating Whazaa itself as an MCP server or starting the wrong component.

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 B, and why

setup scanned grade B 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 1mo 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.

Whazaa Setup Skill

Complete autonomous setup of Whazaa from a local clone. Ask the user for input only when a QR code scan is required.


Context

Whazaa is the WhatsApp transport adapter for AIBroker — it is not an MCP server itself. Two pieces are involved:

  1. AIBroker MCP server (npx -y -p aibroker aibroker-mcp) — started by Claude Code. Provides the whatsapp_* tools (plus telegram_*, pailot_*, aibroker_*). It reaches Whazaa's watcher over a Unix Domain Socket.
  2. Whazaa watcher daemon (dist/index.js watch) — a long-running background process that owns the WhatsApp (Baileys) connection and delivers incoming messages to iTerm2 via AppleScript. Managed by macOS launchd as com.whazaa.watcher.

Running dist/index.js with no subcommand prints usage and exits — it is a CLI, not a stdio MCP server. Never register whazaa under mcpServers.

The repo path is needed throughout. Determine it before starting:

REPO="$(pwd)"   # if already in the repo
# or use the path the user provided

Step 0: Clone (if applicable)

If the user does NOT already have a local clone, clone first:

git clone https://github.com/mnott/Whazaa.git ~/dev/ai/Whazaa
REPO="$HOME/dev/ai/Whazaa"

Use the user's preferred path if specified, otherwise default to ~/dev/ai/Whazaa. If already in the repo directory, skip this step and set REPO="$(pwd)".


Step 1: Check Prerequisites

Run these checks. Report failures but continue to gather all issues before stopping.

# Node.js version (must be >= 18)
node --version

# macOS check (watcher requires macOS + iTerm2 + AppleScript)
sw_vers -productVersion

# iTerm2 installed
ls /Applications/iTerm.app 2>/dev/null && echo "iTerm2: OK" || echo "iTerm2: NOT FOUND — install from https://iterm2.com"

# ffmpeg (required for TTS voice notes — WAV to OGG conversion)
which ffmpeg && echo "ffmpeg: OK" || echo "ffmpeg: NOT FOUND — install with: brew install ffmpeg"

# whisper (optional — only needed to receive voice notes from phone)
which whisper 2>/dev/null && echo "whisper: OK" || echo "whisper: optional — install with: pip install openai-whisper"

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.
