Binary location: ./skills/whatsapp-wacli-linux/tools/wacli
Always use this path when invoking commands.
Before running any wacli command, check whether the binary is present:
test -x ./skills/whatsapp-wacli-linux/tools/wacli && echo "ready" || echo "needs install"
If it prints needs install, build it from source:
# Ensure build dependencies are available
which go || (echo "Go 1.25+ is required — install from https://go.dev/dl/" && exit 1)
which gcc || apt-get install -y gcc 2>/dev/null || yum install -y gcc 2>/dev/null
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/steipete/wacli /tmp/wacli-src \
&& cd /tmp/wacli-src \
&& CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -tags sqlite_fts5 -o /tmp/wacli-bin ./cmd/wacli \
&& cp /tmp/wacli-bin ./skills/whatsapp-wacli-linux/tools/wacli \
&& chmod +x ./skills/whatsapp-wacli-linux/tools/wacli \
&& rm -rf /tmp/wacli-src /tmp/wacli-bin
Note: CGO is required (SQLite dependency).
gccmust be present. Builds natively for linux/amd64.
Once the binary is present, proceed to Authentication below.
Phone numbers must be digits only with country code, without the + prefix:
[PHONE_NUMBER]+[PHONE_NUMBER] (causes timeout/resolution errors)For groups, use JID format: [PHONE_NUMBER]@g.us
Use ./skills/whatsapp-wacli/tools/wacli chats list or contacts search to find JIDs.
./skills/whatsapp-wacli/tools/wacli auth
This displays a QR code. The user must scan it with WhatsApp (Settings > Linked Devices > Link a Device). The command stays running while waiting for the scan and initial sync. Use a timeout of at least 120 seconds.
