# `bird whatsapp agents skills`

## Usage

```bash
bird whatsapp agents skills
```

## Description

A skill pairs a situation with what the agent should do in it. Changes reach WhatsApp
before the command returns and apply from the next conversation turn.

Reads return JSON; list is paginated. Mutations take flags and/or a --body-file JSON body (flags overriding); run --example to print the body shape or --dry-run to preview the request. Destructive commands require --yes.
