What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by humalike/hermes-humalike-plugin in skills/configure-whatsapp-group/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Add to ~/.hermes/.env, then restart the gateway:

WHATSAPP_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true    # any sender
WHATSAPP_REQUIRE_MENTION=false   # no @mention needed
WHATSAPP_GROUP_POLICY=open       # process all groups (default "pairing" blocks them)

That's it — no privacy toggle like Telegram; the bridge already sees every group message.
