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'.…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# WhatsApp (pywhats) Drive a WhatsApp account as a **linked companion device** (like WhatsApp Web) from async Python via [`pywhats`](https://pypi.org/project/pywhats/) (pre-alpha, text/image only). This is an **unofficial** multi-device client — **not** the official WhatsApp Business / Cloud API. CLI entrypoint: `scripts/wa.py` (auto-bootstraps a managed venv on first run). ## Mental model - **Pairing = one-time QR scan.** `wa.py pair` shows an ASCII QR; scan it in WhatsApp → Linked Devices. Credentials persist to `$PYWHATS_HOME/<session>.session` (+ `.signal.db`). - **Resuming = silent.** Later commands reconnect with the same session — no QR. - **JIDs address chats.** Bare phone `15550001234` → `15550001234@s.whatsapp.net`; groups use `...@g.us`. - **Events are how you receive.** `wa.py listen` prints one JSON object per event. ## ⚠️ Never bare-await Client calls inside a handler Event handlers run **inline on the receive loop**. Awaiting `send_*`, `mark_read`, `get_group_info`, `download_media`, etc. inside a handler **deadlocks** the connection. Always `asyncio.create_task(...)`. The `listen` subcommand already does this for `--read`. ## Commands ```bash …

How to install
mdr add sanjay3290/ai-skills/whatsapp@sha256:ad01b6d7699baec0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260709.3c2c38e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
