From the project's own README (excerpt, reproduced for discovery under its MIT license):
whatshell
whatshell is a Rust WhatsApp Web CLI designed for coding agents and terminal workflows. It uses the personal WhatsApp Web multi-device protocol through whatsapp-rust, stores a local SQLite message index, and keeps command output predictable for automation.
This is not the WhatsApp Business Cloud API. It links like WhatsApp Web and depends on WhatsApp's unofficial Web protocol behavior.
Install
From npm:
From this directory:
The npm postinstall script builds the Rust release binary with Cargo and installs a small Node launcher. You can also use Cargo directly:
The npm install also installs the Whatshell Agent Skill globally for coding agents: • Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/whatshell • Codex and OpenCode agent-compatible discovery: ~/.agents/skills/whatshell
OpenCode also discovers the Claude-compatible and agent-compatible locations and de-duplicates by skill name, so Whatshell does not install a third OpenCode-native copy by default. Set WHATSHELLINSTALLOPENCODESKILL=1 if you explicitly want ~/.config/opencode/skills/whatshell too. Set WHATSHELLINSTALLCODEXHOMESKILL=1 if you explicitly want a $CODEXHOME/skills/whatshell copy. Set WHATSHELLSKIPSKILLINSTALL=1 to skip skill installation.
Authenticate
Scan the QR code in WhatsApp: Settings > Linked Devices > Link a Device.
Phone-number pairing is supported when WhatsApp allows it:
Status and local logout:
auth logout removes the local session files. If you need to revoke the linked device remotely, remove it from WhatsApp's Linked Devices screen.
Operational Model
Whatshell keeps a local SQLite index built from WhatsApp Web sync data. Read commands are fastest and most useful after a sync:
Use --json for automation and preserve returned message IDs, chat JIDs, group JIDs,…

03Community
No endorsements yetNo verified confirmations yet — be the first.
Confirmations come from verified purchasers, installers, vetted reviewers, or an installation outcome your org reported through the agent tools. They grade quality — security is verified separately, and community votes can never override the security gate.

04Trust Passport
Full passport →0/0 automated components pass. An automated score is never a security guarantee.
This listing is unclaimed, so publisher identity cannot be verified and it stays below the “verified” tier by design — that is a statement about the listing, not about the project’s quality. Our automated scans still ran; a maintainer who claims it unlocks identity verification.
