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

wacrawl 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

wacrawl

Use wacrawl to snapshot local WhatsApp Desktop data into a separate SQLite archive and search it offline.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • inspect local WhatsApp Desktop history without opening the app
  • archive chats into a local SQLite database for repeat queries
  • search WhatsApp messages locally with filters
  • list chats, recent messages, or archive status from a read-only import

Requirements

  • local WhatsApp Desktop data on the same machine
  • enough local disk for ~/.wacrawl/wacrawl.db
  • understand that this is read-only inspection, not message sending

Setup

  • Default source: ~/Library/Group Containers/group.net.whatsapp.WhatsApp.shared
  • Default archive DB: ~/.wacrawl/wacrawl.db
  • First sanity check:
    • wacrawl doctor
  • First import:
    • wacrawl import

Common Commands

  • Doctor: wacrawl doctor
  • Import fresh snapshot: wacrawl import
  • Archive status: wacrawl status
  • List chats: wacrawl chats --limit 20
  • Recent messages: wacrawl messages --limit 20
  • One chat: wacrawl messages --chat [email protected] --limit 50
  • Search: wacrawl search "release notes"
  • Filtered search: wacrawl --json search "invoice" --from-them --after 2026-01-01

Notes

  • wacrawl is read-only and does not send messages.
  • It copies WhatsApp SQLite files into a temp snapshot before import.
  • Use --source to override the WhatsApp Desktop container path.
  • Use --db to archive somewhere other than ~/.wacrawl/wacrawl.db.
Changes

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.
