Platforms count differently and update at different times.
The CLI can search chats and messages, sync history, and send text or files. The source says not to use it for normal user chats. Before contacting a third party, confirm the specific recipient and message text; clarify any ambiguity. History backfill requires the phone to be online and is best-effort.

The counting method changed in 2026-09: skills with the same name are now counted separately by author, and the full catalog is covered. Dashed lines show months before the change; they are not compared with later months, and no growth is computed across the change.

# wacli
Use `wacli` only when the user explicitly asks you to message someone else on WhatsApp or when they ask to sync/search WhatsApp history.Do NOT use `wacli` for normal user chats; Clawdbot routes WhatsApp conversations automatically. If the user is chatting with you on WhatsApp, you should not reach for this tool unless they ask you to contact a third party. Safety - Require explicit recipient + message text. - Confirm recipient + message before sending. - If anything is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question. Auth + sync - `wacli auth` (QR login + initial sync) - `wacli sync --follow` (continuous sync) - `wacli doctor` Find chats + messages - `wacli chats list --limit 20 --query "name or number"` - `wacli messages search "query" --limit 20 --chat <jid>` - `wacli messages search "invoice" --after 2025-01-01 --before 2025-12-31` History backfill - `wacli history backfill --chat <jid> --requests 2 --count 50` Send - Text: `wacli send text --to "+14155551212" --message "Hello! Are you free at 3pm?"` - Group: `wacli send text --to "[email protected]" --message "Running 5 min late."` - File: `wacli send file --to "+14155551212" --file /path/agenda.pdf --caption "Agenda"` Notes - Store dir: `~/.wacli` (override with `--store`). - Use `--json` for machine-readable output when parsing. - Backfill requires your phone online; results are best-effort. - WhatsApp CLI is not needed for routine user chats; it’s for messaging other people. - JIDs: direct chats look like `<number>@s.whatsapp.net`; groups look like `<id>@g.us` (use `wacli chats list` to find).
