+// Fully working code in SKILL.md "Scenario 1"
+nlohmann::json msg = {{"chatId", "79876543210@c.us"}, {"message", "Hello"}};
+Response resp = client.sending.sendMessage(msg);
+```
+
+### 2. Receiving Messages (Polling)
+```cpp
+// Complete polling loop in SKILL.md "Scenario 2"
+while (true) {
+    Response notif = client.receiving.receiveNotification(5);
+    // Process notification...
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Sending File by URL
+```cpp
+// File attachment example in references/sending.md
+nlohmann::json fileMsg = {
+    {"chatId", "79876543210@c.us"},
+    {"urlFile", "https://example.com/image.jpg"}
+};
+client.sending.sendFileByUrl(fileMsg);
+```
+
+### 4. Creating & Managing Groups
+```cpp
+// Group creation example in references/groups.md
+nlohmann::json group = {
+    {"groupName", "My Team"},
+    {"participants", {"79876543210@c.us", "79876543211@c.us"}}
+};
+Response resp = client.groups.createGroup(group);
+```
+
+### 5. Webhook-Based Incoming Messages
+```cpp
+// Webhook setup in SKILL.md "Scenario 5"
+nlohmann::json settings = {
+    {"webhookUrl", "https://your-server.com/webhook"}
+};
+client.account.setSettings(settings);
+```

+## ⚠️ Critical Knowledge
+
+### Phone Number Formats
+- **Personal**: `79876543210@c.us` (must include `@c.us`)
+- **Group**: `79876543210-1581234048@g.us` (must include `@g.us`)
+- Wrong format → silent failure!
+
+### Rate Limits
+- **Send delay**: 900ms minimum (configurable)
+- **Group creation**: 1 per 5 minutes max
+- Exceeding → 429 error or queued
+
+### Before Using Any Method
+```cpp
+// Always verify authorization first
+Response auth = client.account.getStateInstance();
+if (auth.body["stateInstance"] != "authorized") {
+    // Trigger QR or phone auth
+}
+```
+
+### Response Handling
+```cpp
+Response resp = client.sending.sendMessage(msg);
+if (resp.success) {
+    // Safe to access resp.body
+} else {
+    // HTTP error: check resp.statusCode
+}
+```
+
+## 🔍 How AI Agents Should Use This
+
+### When Asked to Write Code:
+1. **Read SKILL.md** section matching the task
+2. **Find template** in "Common Scenarios"
+3. **Check references/*.md** for specific method details
+4. **Generate code** based on template
+5. **Add error handling** from error codes guide
+6. **Verify method names** match quick index
+
+### Example Agent Flow:
+```
+User: "Send a text message to +79876543210"
+  ↓
+Agent reads SKILL.md "Scenario 1: Sending Text Message"
+  ↓
+Agent generates code with proper error handling
+  ↓
+Agent verifies:
+  - Method name: sendMessage ✓
+  - Chat ID format: 79876543210@c.us ✓
+  - Auth check: included ✓
+  - Error handling: present ✓
+  ↓
+Agent outputs working code
+```
+
+## 🛠️ Testing Generated Code
+
+```bash
+# 1. Export credentials
+export GREEN_API_ID="your_instance_id"
+export GREEN_API_TOKEN="your_token"
+
+# 2. Compile (in repo root after cmake build)
+g++ -std=c++17 -o test_msg your_code.cpp -L./build -lgreenapi -I./include
+
+# 3. Run
+./test_msg
+
+# 4. Verify:
+# - No compilation errors
+# - No crashes
+# - Message sent (check console & WhatsApp)
+```

+
+## 🚨 Common Pitfalls (See SKILL.md)
+
+1. ❌ Wrong chat ID format → ✅ Always use `@c.us` or `@g.us`
+2. ❌ Ignore auth status → ✅ Check `getStateInstance()` first
+3. ❌ Don't check `response.success` → ✅ Always verify before accessing body
+4. ❌ Hardcode credentials → ✅ Use environment variables
+5. ❌ Ignore rate limits → ✅ Respect delays and group creation limits
+
+## 🔄 Skill Maintenance
+
+When SDK updates:
+1. Run: `bash /tmp/verify_methods.sh`
+2. If new methods: Add to appropriate reference
+3. If removed: Remove from docs
+4. Re-verify and update statistics
+
+## 📞 Support
+
+If AI-generated code doesn't work:
+
+1. ✓ Check method name in SKILL.md index
+2. ✓ Verify chat ID format (`@c.us` or `@g.us`)
+3. ✓ Confirm instance is authorized
+4. ✓ Check rate limits (delays, group creation)
+5. ✓ Review error code in official docs
+6. ✓ Read error handling section in SKILL.md
