Openclaw Whatsapp Gif

Source and send relevant reaction GIFs in WhatsApp chats using safe filters and deterministic ranking. Use when the user asks for a GIF/meme/reaction, or when a short visual reaction is better than plain text for celebration, humor, acknowledgment, empathy, or agreement.

File contents

WhatsApp GIF

Source safe, context-matching GIFs and send exactly one high-quality result to WhatsApp.

Workflow

Decide if GIF is appropriate.
Build concise search query from user intent (2-5 words).
Run scripts/find_gif.py to fetch and rank candidates.
Send top result with message tool to WhatsApp (prefer local-file payload mode).
If send fails, retry once with next candidate.
If still failing or no results, send concise fallback text.

Decision rules

Prefer GIF when:

The user explicitly asks for GIF/meme/reaction.
A brief emotional signal is enough.
Tone benefits from a visual response.

Avoid GIF when:

Topic is serious/sensitive (medical, legal, conflict, grief).
Group context is formal or unclear.
User asked for text-only response.

Script usage

Use these deterministic helpers:

python3 skills/openclaw-whatsapp-gif/scripts/find_gif.py "congrats celebration" --limit 5 --json
python3 skills/openclaw-whatsapp-gif/scripts/find_gif.py "great job" --limit 3 --json --target "+1234567890"
python3 skills/openclaw-whatsapp-gif/scripts/send_gif.py "+1234567890" "great job celebration" --json
python3 skills/openclaw-whatsapp-gif/scripts/send_gif.py "+1234567890" "great job celebration" --delivery-mode local --json
python3 skills/openclaw-whatsapp-gif/scripts/send_gif.py "+1234567890" "great job celebration" --payload-only

Behavior:

Reads TENOR_API_KEY and/or GIPHY_API_KEY.
Applies safe filtering (contentfilter=low / rating=g + blocklist).
Uses retry + backoff for network fetches.
Ranks by keyword overlap + lightweight preference.
If no API keys or no provider results, uses built-in safe fallback catalog.
Optional web scraping fallback is available only when allowWebScrapeFallback is enabled in references/policy.json.
Expands intent queries using common reaction aliases.
Deduplicates repeated URLs across providers.
Returns URL only (default) or candidate list (--json).
With --target, prints a ready-to-send WhatsApp message payload in JSON.
With send_gif.py --payload-only, prints only the final message payload for direct tool handoff.
send_gif.py validates media size/type, retries next candidates when a URL is bad, and writes to OS temp cache.
Telemetry logging is disabled by default and can be enabled by policy or CLI flag.
Remote URL fallback is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled in policy.
Runtime policy is configurable in references/policy.json.

WhatsApp send pattern

Use message with:

action: "send"
channel: "whatsapp"
target: <chat id/recipient>
media: <gif/mp4 url>
caption: <optional short line>
gifPlayback: true

If provider rejects .gif, retry using next candidate URL (prefer MP4).

Fallback

If no suitable GIF or delivery fails twice:

Send concise text preserving intent.
Do not keep retrying in a loop.
