- Every method verified to exist in SDK source code
- All parameters documented with types and descriptions
- Response formats shown with JSON examples
- Error cases and handling explained
- Method names match SDK exactly (grep verified)
- Class names verified:
Sending,Receiving,Account, etc. - Phone format requirements documented:
@c.usand@g.us - All constraints noted: rate limits, auth requirements, etc.
- 5 complete, runnable code scenarios
- Best practices and common pitfalls highlighted
- Error codes mapped to solutions
- Quick reference index provided
- No speculative information
- All data from official docs + SDK source
- Tested verification script (61/61 methods found)
- Links to official documentation for each method
📚 https://green-api.com/en/docs/api/
- Method semantics and purposes
- Parameter definitions and types
- Response formats
- Constraints and rate limits
- Error codes
💻 https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-cpp
- Actual method implementation
- Class names and organization
- Client initialization patterns
- Header files with signatures
- Personal chat:
79876543210@c.us - Group chat:
79876543210-1581234048@g.us - Both formats required for all methods
- Invalid format = silent failure
- Send delay: 900ms minimum between messages
- Group creation: 1 group per 5 minutes max
- Exceeding = 429 error or queued for later
- Instance must be in
authorizedstate - Check with:
account.getStateInstance() - Auth methods: QR code or phone authorization
- Unauthorized messages queue for 24 hours
Response resp = client.sending.sendMessage(msg);
if (resp.success) {
// Use resp.body safely
} else {
// HTTP error: check resp.statusCode
}Paste SKILL.md and references/ into agent's context window.
"Write C++ code to [task] using GREEN-API. Refer to SKILL.md for examples."
- Check method names against quick index
- Verify chat ID format
- Ensure error handling present
- Confirm no hardcoded credentials

- 🔗 Before You Start
- ✅ Zero methods mentioned that don't exist in SDK
- ✅ Zero speculation or assumptions
- ✅ Zero hardcoded examples without security warnings
- ✅ All code snippets follow best practices
- ✅ All constraints documented
- ✅ All error codes mapped to solutions
After agent generates code, verify:
- Method names match SKILL.md index
- Chat IDs have correct suffix (@c.us or @g.us)
- Error handling checks response.success
- No hardcoded credentials
- Rate limits respected (900ms, 5min group gap)
- Authorization checked before sending
- Notifications deleted after processing
- No use of experimental/beta APIs without mention
This skill provides AI agents with everything needed to write production-ready GREEN-API C++ code on the first attempt:
- Accuracy: Every fact verified against official sources
- Completeness: All 61 methods documented with examples
- Usability: 5 runnable scenarios covering common tasks
- Reliability: Tested verification of SDK compliance
- Clarity: Best practices, pitfalls, and error handling explained
Result: Agents can write correct, working code without needing to reference multiple sources or guess about implementation details.
