Whoami

Show the current sender and session context. Useful for debugging on messaging channels.

Steps

1. Detect the surface:

   • CLI: no <channel source="...">
   • WhatsApp: <channel source="whatsapp"> with user_id (JID)
   • Telegram: <channel source="telegram"> with user ID
   • etc.

2. Extract sender info from the message metadata if on a messaging channel.

3. Get agent identity from IDENTITY.md (name + emoji).

4. Format the response:

CLI

You: local user
Agent: <Name> <emoji>
Workspace: <path>
Session: <id if available>

WhatsApp

*You:* <user_id>
*Agent:* <Name> <emoji>
*Channel:* WhatsApp

Telegram

**You:** <user_id>
**Agent:** <Name> <emoji>
**Channel:** Telegram

5. Keep it short — one card, no preamble.

Notes

• On CLI, there's no sender ID — use "local user".
• On messaging channels, use the user_id from the <channel> metadata.
• This is the agent's version of OpenClaw's /whoami command.
