SKILL.md

This skill manages messaging via imsg (iMessage/SMS) and wacli (WhatsApp). Check availability with which imsg wacli.

iMessage & SMS — imsg

bash
imsg send "Phone or Email" "Message text"  # Send a message
imsg send "+14155551234" "Hello!"
imsg send "user@icloud.com" "Hey there"
imsg list                                   # List recent conversations
imsg list --limit 10                        # Last 10 conversations
imsg read "+14155551234"                    # Read conversation with contact
imsg read "+14155551234" --limit 20         # Read last 20 messages
imsg unread                                 # Show unread messages
imsg group send "Group Name" "Message"      # Send to a group chat
imsg group list                             # List group chats
imsg contacts                               # List contacts

WhatsApp — wacli

bash
wacli send "+14155551234" "Message text"    # Send a message
wacli send "Contact Name" "Hello!"          # Send by name (if in contacts)
wacli list                                  # List recent chats
wacli read "+14155551234"                   # Read conversation
wacli read "+14155551234" --limit 20
wacli unread                                # Show unread messages
wacli group list                            # List WhatsApp groups
wacli group send "Group Name" "Message"
wacli status "Your status text"            # Set WhatsApp status

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.
