WhatsApp @Mention Skill
Make WhatsApp @mentions work reliably with any AI model in OpenClaw.

Intercepts all outgoing WhatsApp messages and automatically converts mentions to the correct format:
@Name→@LID(blue clickable mention)@PhoneNumber→@LID(blue clickable mention)@LID→ kept as-is (already correct)

Just write @someone in your messages. The skill handles the rest.
The LID cache at /home/openclaw/.openclaw/workspace/LID_CACHE.json maps names to WhatsApp LIDs. Members are auto-discovered when they send messages in groups.

Check Baileys' LID mapping files in your WhatsApp credential directory. Filenames follow the pattern lid-mapping-<LID>_reverse.json.
