Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Send and receive WhatsApp messages via the unofficial linked-device client pywhats (pip install pywhats) — pair with QR, send text/images, group chat, read receipts, presence/typing, and a long-running JSON event stream. Use when the user wants to script WhatsApp as a linked companion device (like WhatsApp Web), pair a device, send a WhatsApp from Python, or listen for inbound messages. Triggers: 'whatsapp', 'send whatsapp', 'pair whatsapp', 'pywhats', 'linked device', 'whatsapp web client'. NO…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'whatsapp' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'whatsapp' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named whatsapp already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/sanjay3290/ai-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c84255839a1bfaa06d681aa528f9b50d70002afb' -- 'skills/whatsapp' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/whatsapp' ~/.agents/skills/'whatsapp' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'whatsapp' ~/.claude/skills/'whatsapp' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
