SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill integrates WhatsApp as a messaging channel into NanoClaw, removing the manual setup burden of installing channel code, managing dependencies, and performing interactive authentication so agents can communicate via WhatsApp securely in isolated containers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Flexible Authentication Flows: Supports QR in browser, terminal QR, and numeric pairing-code flows to accommodate headless servers, WSL, and desktop environments.
  • End-to-end Channel Installation: Applies channel files, installs required npm packages, verifies builds, and syncs environment and container state for production use.
  • Robust Runtime Behavior: Handles credential storage, reconnection, outgoing message queuing, group metadata sync, chat registration, and diagnostics to keep WhatsApp-connected agents resilient.
  • Use Case: Add a WhatsApp bot for personal self-chat or group integration, authenticate it using your preferred method, and register chats so Claude agents respond to trigger words or direct messages.

Quick Start

Run the NanoClaw setup step whatsapp-auth via the claude CLI to authenticate WhatsApp, then register the desired chat to enable the assistant.
