What This Skill Does

The whatsapp-styler skill is an essential formatting utility designed to bridge the gap between standard markdown and the platform-specific syntax required by WhatsApp. Since WhatsApp does not support traditional markdown (like double asterisks for bold or headers with hash symbols), sending raw text often results in a poor visual experience for the recipient, cluttered with visible symbols. This skill automatically intercepts outgoing messages and reformats them to align with WhatsApp's proprietary markup language, ensuring that your communication remains polished, professional, and easy to read on mobile devices.

Installation

To integrate the WhatsApp Styler into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/rubenfb23/wa-styler

Once installed, the skill will monitor and clean your output strings before they are dispatched to any WhatsApp-integrated communication channel.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for users who rely on OpenClaw for automated customer service, professional updates, or personal messaging. It is particularly useful for:

• Summarizing technical reports where code snippets or IDs need to be displayed in monospace font.
• Sending structured meeting agendas that require bullet points and clear emphasis.
• Maintaining a clean, readable visual hierarchy when headers are not supported, by leveraging bold uppercase text as a functional substitute.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, draft a status update for my team lead about the project deployment, ensuring all status codes are in monospace and the project name is bolded."
2. "Send a reminder to the client list including a numbered list of the three final deliverables for this week."
3. "Write a quick follow-up message regarding the meeting, using quotes for the client's feedback and bolding the next meeting date."

Tips & Limitations

To maximize the effectiveness of the WhatsApp Styler, remember that it replaces standard markdown headers with BOLD CAPS. Avoid nesting multiple symbols (like bolding inside italics) as WhatsApp may render these inconsistently. Always verify the final output if your message contains complex characters or special encoding. By sticking to the provided syntax—like using a single asterisk for bold and triple backticks for monospace—you guarantee a consistent 'Human-to-Human' look that feels native to the application.
