 - **Agents with a terminal** (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) run `wa` commands themselves. The bundled
-  [skill](skills/whatsapp-cli/SKILL.md) tells them how: `wa personal setup --agent …` or `wa skill install` puts it in
-  place, and `wa skill show` prints it before linking. An agent links with `--qr-file` and shows you the picture; it
-  never asks for your phone number or a code.
-- **Apps without a terminal** (Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients) connect to `wa personal mcp`.
+  [skill](https://github.com/WireCatLabs/whatsapp-cli/blob/main/skills/whatsapp-cli/SKILL.md) tells them how: `wa personal setup --agent …` or `wa skill install` puts it in
+  place, and `wa skill show` prints it before linking. An agent links by QR: it pastes the code into the chat as text for you
+  to scan, and never asks for your phone number or a code.
+- **Apps without a terminal** (Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients) connect to `wa personal mcp`. It
+  comes with ready prompts: `/catch-up`, `/review`, `/reply`, `/find` and more.
 
 ```sh
 wa personal mcp setup claude-code   # or: wa personal mcp setup codex

-`wa` is part of the [WireCat](https://wirecat.dev) family, beside [tg](https://github.com/WireCatLabs/tg-cli) for
-Telegram and [max](https://github.com/WireCatLabs/max-cli) for MAX. All three share their commands, their store and
-their agent tools, so what you learn in one works in the others. WhatsApp is different in three ways:
+## Why wa?
 
-- **History comes from your phone.** WhatsApp's servers keep no history to ask for. Your phone sends your recent
-  chats once, when `wa` links, and `wa serve` keeps receiving new ones. Older messages of one chat can be asked of the
-  phone, 50 at a time, while WhatsApp is open on it (`wa personal messages sync`). Every read answers from the local
-  store and never connects.
-- **One connection per device.** WhatsApp allows one. While `wa serve` runs, other commands for the same profile,
-  a send included, run through its connection. On Windows they are refused until `serve` stops, for now.
-- **Unofficial.** WhatsApp's terms forbid unofficial clients, and WhatsApp may ban an account that uses one. `wa`
-  never sends in bulk or to strangers, never sends "online" or "typing", and marks nothing read unless you ask.
+- **Your own account, as a linked device.** `wa` links the way WhatsApp Web does. It sees your chats, groups and
+  contacts, and speaks as you, not as a business account or a bot.
+- **Local-first search.** Everything received is kept on your computer. Every read and search answers from there and
+  never connects.
+- **Made for agents.** One operation per call, the same JSON shape every time with `--json`, a fixed exit code for
+  each kind of failure, an MCP server and a skill.
+- **Safe by default.** Reading marks nothing read and sends no "online" or "typing". A profile decides which actions
+  an agent may take, which chats it may send to, and how many messages an hour (30 by default). When a send's outcome
+  is unknown, `wa` says so and never repeats it by itself.
+
+## Your account
+
+`wa` works in your name, as one more linked device of your WhatsApp account.
+
+```sh
+wa personal chats list --limit 5
+wa personal messages list "Book club" --limit 20
+wa personal messages send "Book club" "The minutes" --file minutes.pdf
+wa personal polls create "Book club" "Which day?" Monday Tuesday
+wa personal messages download "Book club" 3EB0A1B2C3D4E5F6A7B8 --output-dir ~/Downloads
+wa personal messages transcribe "Book club" 3EB0A1B2C3D4E5F6A7B8 --local  # a voice note as text
+```
+
+The message id `3EB0A1B2C3D4E5F6A7B8` is made up; take a real one from `messages list -v`.
+
+- **Read.** Chats and messages from the local store, one message with its neighbours, other people's unread
+  messages (`wa personal inbox`), everything since the last review (`wa personal review`), new messages as they
+  arrive (`wa personal watch`), older messages of one chat asked of your phone (`wa personal messages sync`), and
+  the posts of the channels you follow (`wa personal chats join` with a channel link, then `messages sync`).
+- **Write.** Markdown, replies, one file, photo, video or voice note per message, a photo and a video as one album,
+  edits of your own messages within 20 minutes, forwards, reactions, polls and votes, pins (each one tells the
+  members), deleting for you or for everyone, and marking a chat read.
+- **Your chat list.** Mute, archive, pin or mark a chat unread, star a message, and delete or clear a chat on your
+  own devices; nobody in the chat is told.
+- **Voice on your computer.** WhatsApp has no speech recognition of its own, so `wa` runs a speech model on this
+  machine, downloaded only when you ask.
+- **People.** A person's profile, blocking, whether a number has WhatsApp, the phone's address book into the store,
+  and your own names and notes for people.
+- **Your account.** Your own name, about line and profile photo (`wa personal account update`).
+- **Privacy.** Who sees your last seen, online, profile photo and about line, whether you send read receipts, who
+  may add you to groups and whose calls ring (`wa personal account privacy`).
+

+
+## Log in and profiles
+
+`wa` links to your account as a device, the way WhatsApp Web does. There is no password and no app to register: you
+link once, from the phone, and the device keys go to one file only your user can read.
+
+```sh
+wa personal session start               # a QR code: WhatsApp → Settings → Linked devices → Link a device
+wa personal session start phone         # or your number, then a pairing code you type on the phone
+wa personal account show                # who this profile is linked as
+wa account list                         # every profile here, and who each is linked as
+wa personal session end                 # unlink, and delete the device keys here
+```
+
+Several accounts are several profiles, and the profile is **the first word**, not an option:
+
+```sh
+wa personal chats list     # profile "personal"
+wa work chats list         # profile "work"
+export WA_PROFILE=work     # or for the whole shell session
+```
+
+`wa` never picks a profile for you, not even the only one: a command that uses an account and has no profile named
+stops and lists the profiles on this computer. Name one or set `WA_PROFILE`. Each profile is a linked device of its
+own, with its own one connection.

+## How it differs
+
+`wa` shares its commands, its store and its agent tools with tg and max, so what you learn in one works in the
+others. WhatsApp is different in three ways:
+
+- **History comes from your phone.** WhatsApp's servers keep no history to ask for. Your phone sends your recent
+  chats once, when `wa` links, and `wa serve` keeps receiving new ones. Older messages of one chat can be asked of the
+  phone, 50 at a time, while WhatsApp is open on it (`wa personal messages sync`). Every read answers from the local
+  store and never connects.
+- **One connection per device.** WhatsApp allows one. While `wa serve` runs, other commands for the same profile,
+  a send included, run through its connection. On Windows they are refused until `serve` stops, for now.
+- **Unofficial.** The risk of a ban is in the warning at the top of this page. `wa` never sends "online" or
+  "typing", and marks nothing read unless you ask.
+
+## Part of WireCat
+
+[WireCat](https://wirecat.dev) is an open-source, local-first context layer for AI agents. `wa` sits beside
+[tg](https://github.com/WireCatLabs/tg-cli) for Telegram and [max](https://github.com/WireCatLabs/max-cli) for MAX, in
+the same local store.
