What it does

Remote From Telegram is an agent skill from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit. AI DevKit · Connect the current agent session to an available Telegram channel bridge.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation. It works with Telegram. The repository describes itself as: The control plane for AI coding agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Productivity & Automation work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/remote-from-telegram”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check readiness
  2. Inspect channels and agents
  3. Identify the current agent by matching this session to an agent list --json entry. If unclear, ask for the agent name.
  4. Find configured Telegram channels. If none exist, tell the user to run
  5. Choose a channel. Use the requested channel or the only available Telegram channel. If multiple Telegram channels are available, ask the…
  6. If no Telegram channel is available because bridges are already running, ask before stopping one. After confirmation
  7. Start the bridge in the background
  8. Report the connected channel, agent name, and how to stop it: ai-devkit channel stop . If the channel was not authorized before start…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ef0cd5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Remote From Telegram loads about 579 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 294 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~579

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

AI DevKit · Connect the current agent session to an available Telegram channel bridge.

Remote From Telegram

Use this skill when the user wants to control or chat with the current session from Telegram.

Prefer the installed ai-devkit binary; if unavailable, use npx ai-devkit@latest. Run AI DevKit commands outside filesystem sandboxes because they inspect host-level agent and channel state.

Workflow

  1. Check readiness:

    bash
    ai-devkit status --json

    If AI DevKit is not ready, use ai-devkit-setup skill first. Stop if setup leaves manual actions.

  2. Inspect channels and agents:

    bash
    ai-devkit channel list
    ai-devkit agent list --json
  3. Identify the current agent by matching this session to an agent list --json entry. If unclear, ask for the agent name.

  4. Find configured Telegram channels. If none exist, tell the user to run:

    bash
    ai-devkit channel connect telegram

    Stop after giving that action.

  5. Choose a channel. Use the requested channel or the only available Telegram channel. If multiple Telegram channels are available, ask the user which one to use. Available means Telegram, enabled, configured with bot credentials, and not already running. Do not reject a Telegram channel only because it is not authorized yet; Telegram authorization cannot complete until after the bridge is started and the user sends a message to the bot.

  6. If no Telegram channel is available because bridges are already running, ask before stopping one. After confirmation:

    bash
    ai-devkit channel stop <channel>
  7. Start the bridge in the background:

    bash
    ai-devkit channel start <channel> --agent <agent-name> --daemon
  8. Report the connected channel, agent name, and how to stop it: ai-devkit channel stop <channel>. If the channel was not authorized before start, explicitly tell the user the bridge is running and they must now send any message to the Telegram bot to authorize that chat before using it.

Boundaries

  • Do not create or connect a Telegram channel for the user; only point them to channel connect.
  • Do not stop a running bridge without explicit confirmation.
  • Do not guess when both agent or channel selection are ambiguous.
