gavrielc 91219d0692 feat: whatsapp-formatting container skill — payload for /add-whatsapp
Moved from trunk: WhatsApp-specific formatting instructions belong with
the WhatsApp adapter payload, not in every install's composed CLAUDE.md.
Trunk's /add-whatsapp skill and setup scripts copy this directory in.

description: Format messages for WhatsApp, including mentions that render as real WhatsApp tags. Use when responding in a WhatsApp conversation (platform_id / chatJid ends with @s.whatsapp.net or @g.us).

# WhatsApp Message Formatting
WhatsApp uses its own lightweight markup and a phone-number-based mention syntax. The host's WhatsApp adapter (Baileys) handles markdown conversion automatically, but **mentions are only protocol-level mentions if you use the right syntax** — otherwise they render as plain text and don't notify the recipient.
## How to detect WhatsApp context
You're in a WhatsApp conversation when any of these are true:
- The chat JID / platform id ends with `@s.whatsapp.net` (1-on-1 DM)
- The chat JID / platform id ends with `@g.us` (group)
- Your inbound message metadata has `chatJid` matching the above
## Mentions — the important part
To tag a user so their name appears **bold and clickable** in WhatsApp and they get a push notification, write the `@` followed by their phone number digits (no `+`, no spaces, no display name):
```
@15551234567 can you confirm?
```
The adapter scans your outgoing text for `@<digits>` (515 digits, optional leading `+` is stripped) and tells WhatsApp to render them as real mention tags.
**The sender's phone JID is always in your inbound message metadata.** When a user writes to you, inbound `content.sender` looks like `15551234567@s.whatsapp.net`. The part before the `@` is exactly what you put after `@` when tagging them back.
### Wrong vs right
| You write | What recipients see |
|-----------|---------------------|
| `@Adam can you...` | Plain text `@Adam`. No tag, no notification. |
| `@15551234567 can you...` | Bold/blue **@Adam** (or whatever name they're saved as), notification fires. |
| `@+15551234567 ...` | Same as above — adapter strips the `+`. |
### Picking who to tag
- In a DM, there's no real need to tag the recipient (they already see every message), but tagging still works if you want emphasis.
- In a group, look at the `participants` / inbound `content.sender` to find the JID of the person you mean. Don't guess from display names — pushNames can collide and are not reliable.
- If you don't know the JID, just refer to the person by name in plain prose. Don't write `@<name>` — it won't tag and it will look like a tag that failed.
## Text styles
WhatsApp uses single-character delimiters, *not* doubled like standard Markdown.
| Style | Syntax | Renders as |
|-------|--------|------------|
| Bold | `*bold*` | **bold** |
| Italic | `_italic_` | *italic* |
| Strikethrough | `~strike~` | ~strike~ |
| Monospace | `` `code` `` | `code` |
| Block monospace | ```` ```block``` ```` | preformatted block |
The adapter converts standard Markdown (`**bold**`, `[link](url)`, `# heading`) to the WhatsApp-native form automatically, so you don't have to think about it — but be aware that single asterisks become italics, not bold.
## What not to do
- Don't write `<@U123>` (that's Slack), `<@!123>` (Discord), or any other channel's mention syntax.
- Don't paste a full JID like `@15551234567@s.whatsapp.net` in the text — only the digits before the JID's `@` go after your `@`.
- Don't try to tag display names. WhatsApp has no display-name-based mention API.

## WhatsApp mentions — always use phone digits
When you are replying in a WhatsApp conversation (the inbound message's `chatJid` ends with `@s.whatsapp.net` for a DM or `@g.us` for a group), and you want to tag a person so their name appears **bold and clickable** with a push notification, write `@` followed by their phone-number digits — never the display name.
**The sender's phone JID is in your inbound message metadata** at `content.sender` (e.g. `15551234567@s.whatsapp.net`). The part before the `@` is exactly what you put after `@` when tagging them.
| You write | What recipients see |
|-----------|---------------------|
| `@Adam, can you...` | Plain text. No tag, no notification. |
| `@15551234567, can you...` | Bold/blue **@Adam** (whatever name they're saved as), notification fires. |
| `@+15551234567 ...` | Same as above — the adapter strips the `+` automatically. |
The host adapter scans your outbound text for `@<515 digits>` (with optional leading `+`) and tells WhatsApp to render those as real mention tags. If the digits aren't in the text, the tag doesn't render — no exceptions.
### In groups
Tag the person you're addressing using their JID from inbound metadata (look at the most recent message from them). Don't guess — pushNames collide and aren't reliable.
If you don't know someone's JID, refer to them by name in plain prose. Do not write `@<displayname>` hoping it works.
