 # wacli
 
-Use `wacli` for WhatsApp sync/search/send via WhatsApp Web protocol.
-Normal operation: the user chats with you via Telegram or WhatsApp and Clawdis handles it automatically.
-Use `wacli` only when you need to talk to other people on WhatsApp (or to debug sync/search).
+Use `wacli` only when the user explicitly asks you to message someone else on WhatsApp or when they ask to sync/search WhatsApp history.
+Do NOT use `wacli` for normal user chats; Clawdis routes WhatsApp conversations automatically.
+If the user is chatting with you on WhatsApp, you should not reach for this tool unless they ask you to contact a third party.
+
+Safety
+- Require explicit recipient + message text.
+- Confirm recipient + message before sending.
+- If anything is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question.
 
 Auth + sync
 - `wacli auth` (QR login + initial sync)
 - `wacli sync --follow` (continuous sync)
 - `wacli doctor`
 
-Search + history
-- `wacli messages search "query"`
-- `wacli history backfill --chat <jid> --requests 5 --count 50`
+Find chats + messages
+- `wacli chats list --limit 20 --query "name or number"`
+- `wacli messages search "query" --limit 20 --chat <jid>`
+- `wacli messages search "invoice" --after 2025-01-01 --before 2025-12-31`
+
+History backfill
+- `wacli history backfill --chat <jid> --requests 2 --count 50`
 
 Send
-- Text: `wacli send text --to 1234567890 --message "hello"`
-- File: `wacli send file --to 1234567890 --file /path/pic.jpg --caption "hi"`
+- Text: `wacli send text --to "+14155551212" --message "Hello! Are you free at 3pm?"`
+- Group: `wacli send text --to "1234567890-123456789@g.us" --message "Running 5 min late."`
+- File: `wacli send file --to "+14155551212" --file /path/agenda.pdf --caption "Agenda"`
 
 Notes
 - Store dir: `~/.wacli` (override with `--store`).
+- Use `--json` for machine-readable output when parsing.
 - Backfill requires your phone online; results are best-effort.
 - WhatsApp CLI is not needed for routine user chats; it’s for messaging other people.
-- Confirm recipient + message before sending.
+- JIDs: direct chats look like `<number>@s.whatsapp.net`; groups look like `<id>@g.us` (use `wacli chats list` to find).
