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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/guided_connect.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WhatsApp (wacli)

Send messages, list chats, and search history using wacli — a local CLI that syncs a WhatsApp Web session into ~/.wacli/. No third-party service, no API key; the auth flow is a QR-code scan from the user's phone.

When to use

  • The user asks to send a WhatsApp message, list chats, or search WhatsApp history.
  • The user asks "did X message me on WhatsApp?" or similar history-search questions.
  • Unpaired Mac? Probe with wacli chats list --limit 1; if it errors "not authenticated," run the guided connect flow (python3 scripts/guided_connect.py --phone <number>) and relay its protocol lines into chat — the user never opens a terminal. Manual wacli auth in a terminal is the explicit fallback only.

Install + auth

brew install openclaw/tap/wacli       # one-time install (3rd-party tap, NOT Homebrew-core)
wacli auth                            # opens a QR for the user to scan from WhatsApp → Linked Devices

openclaw/tap is a third-party Homebrew tap (not Homebrew-core), and wacli stores a WhatsApp Web session locally at ~/.wacli/. Review the tap source before installing if security-sensitive.

The session lives at ~/.wacli/. Stays signed in across reboots until the user revokes the linked device from their phone.

Optional .env settings (label shown in WhatsApp's Linked Devices screen on the user's phone):

WACLI_DEVICE_LABEL=Sutando            # any string; appears next to the device in WhatsApp → Linked Devices
WACLI_DEVICE_PLATFORM=CHROME          # default per wacli is DESKTOP; CHROME is the fallback if an invalid value is set.
                                      # See wacli's docs (https://github.com/openclaw/wacli) for the full platform-string list.

Guided connect (zero-terminal pairing)

When the user asks to connect WhatsApp, do NOT tell them to open a terminal. Run the orchestrator and relay its line protocol into the chat:

python3 skills/whatsapp/scripts/guided_connect.py --phone "+14155551234"   # preferred
python3 skills/whatsapp/scripts/guided_connect.py                          # QR fallback

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
