Usage Guidelines
- Use
imsg for iMessage/SMS to Apple devices or phone numbers.
- Use
wacli for WhatsApp contacts.
- Phone numbers should include country code (e.g., +1 for US).
- Check
imsg unread or wacli unread before sending follow-ups.
- If a contact name is ambiguous, prefer using the phone number directly.
Notes
imsg requires macOS and an active iMessage account.wacli requires WhatsApp to be linked — run wacli auth to scan QR code on first use.- Both tools operate locally; no cloud API credentials required after initial auth.
