How it actually works

Exactly what it does — and when.

1Pair a WhatsApp number you control

2Route messages through one Baileys socket and local inbox/outbox files

3Call the configured local Claude CLI or return an explicit fallback acknowledgement

In practice · A mobile command reaches a local workstation

An authorized message arrives through the paired number, is written to the inbox, and is routed to the configured local CLI. When that CLI is unavailable, the channel writes the documented acknowledgement instead of claiming that the requested work completed.

This vs the alternative

Why it's clearly worth it.

Transport

State

Depends on your implementation

Fallback

Failure can be ambiguous

Security

Host permissions remain your responsibility

The shift it creates

A missing CLI looks like successful execution
Session and message state are invisible
