SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Adds a secure, authenticated WhatsApp channel to NanoClaw so agents can send and receive messages from self-chats and groups without manual integration of low-level Web API logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authentication flows: Supports QR-in-browser, QR-in-terminal, and numeric pairing-code authentication methods with credential storage in store/auth.
  • Channel plumbing: Installs Baileys-based channel code, registers the channel, handles LID-to-JID translation, presence/typing, queued outgoing messages, and reconnection logic.
  • Use Case: Enable an assistant to join a WhatsApp self-chat or group, respond to trigger words, and reliably deliver messages even across reconnects and auth refreshes.

Quick Start

Run the WhatsApp setup step to authenticate via QR or pairing code, then register your chat so the assistant can send and receive messages.
