Description
Send WhatsApp messages to other people or search/sync WhatsApp history via the wacli CLI (not for normal user chats).
Usage Guidance
This skill is a thin wrapper around the wacli CLI and its commands match the description, but take these precautions before installing: 1) Confirm the brew tap / GitHub repo (steipete/wacli) are legitimate and review their code/releases. 2) Ask the publisher to explain the metadata mismatch (registry ownerId/slug vs. _meta.json) — mismatched metadata could be an honest packaging error but should be explained. 3) Be aware the skill can authenticate via QR and sync/backfill WhatsApp history into ~/.wacli — that exposes private messages and attachments to the local environment. 4) If you are concerned about the agent sending messages without clear user intent, restrict autonomous invocation or require explicit confirmation before any send/sync action. 5) If you will use file-sending, ensure the agent only has access to intended files. If these checks raise questions or you cannot verify the upstream project/owner, consider not installing.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: probar
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to use the `wacli` CLI tool for sending WhatsApp messages and managing chat history. While the `wacli` tool inherently handles sensitive WhatsApp data, the `SKILL.md` file contains explicit safety instructions for the agent, such as requiring explicit user requests, confirming recipients and messages before sending, and not using the tool for routine user chats. There is no evidence of intentional harmful behavior, data exfiltration to unauthorized endpoints, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection designed to subvert the agent's intended behavior. The installation methods are standard, and the capabilities are aligned with the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The SKILL.md and requirements align: the skill is a wrapper around the wacli CLI to send messages and search/sync WhatsApp history and correctly requires the wacli binary. However, registry-level metadata (skill name/owner) does not fully match the included _meta.json and SKILL.md which reference 'wacli' while the registry lists 'PROBAR'/'probar' and a different ownerId — this mismatch is an inconsistency that should be clarified.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped to calling wacli commands (auth, sync, search, send, backfill). They do not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files or arbitrary environment variables. The SKILL.md explicitly requires explicit recipient/message confirmation and notes the store directory (~/.wacli) and file-sending behavior, which is appropriate for the stated purpose.
Install Mechanism
Install options are standard: a Homebrew formula (steipete/tap/wacli) and a Go module (github.com/steipete/wacli). Both are traceable sources rather than arbitrary downloads. As a precaution, verify the brew tap and GitHub repo are the official project and review release contents before installing.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or external credentials, which is proportional. It will use the wacli store directory (~/.wacli) and may access files when sending attachments — that is expected for a WhatsApp CLI, but it implies access to local chat history and any files the agent is instructed to send.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and is user-invocable (normal). The SKILL.md references long-running operations (e.g., `wacli sync --follow`) which, if used, would give the CLI continued access to WhatsApp history while running. This is within the declared scope but increases runtime access to private data; consider whether the agent should be allowed to start long-running syncs autonomously.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install probar - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/probar - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
