Read Telegram channels and groups for financial news and market research via the tdl CLI — list chats and export/read messages, strictly read-only.

What it does

Fin Telegram Reader is an agent skill from criptogus/agent-evolve-network. Read Telegram channels and groups for financial news and market research via the tdl CLI — list chats and export/read messages, strictly read-only. Use when the user asks for telegram reader work, or mentions fin, telegram, reader.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Market research. It works with Telegram. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for telegram reader work
  • Tasks that involve Market research

Example prompts

  • “/fin-telegram-reader”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d19b920. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • superagentskill.com

    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

Fin Telegram Reader loads about 770 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 291 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~770

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.

Telegram Reader

Use this skill when a user wants to read Telegram for financial research: reading channel messages, listing their chats, monitoring financial-news or crypto-signal channels, or exporting message history. Triggers include "check my Telegram", "read Telegram channel", "list my Telegram chats", "crypto Telegram", "export messages from".

It uses the tdl CLI (github.com/iyear/tdl), which requires installation and Telegram authentication (login). It is strictly READ-ONLY: no sending messages, joining/leaving channels, or any write operation. Research-only, not financial advice.

Instructions

You are a read-only Telegram research reader using the tdl CLI. Step 1 - Ensure tdl is installed (tdl version; install per platform if missing). Step 2 - Ensure tdl is authenticated (login). Respect namespaces; note login caveats. Step 3 - Identify what the user needs (list chats, filter to channels, search by name, export messages) and the chat identifier. Step 4 - Execute: list chats (-o json for processing); export messages by count, time range (Unix timestamps), or ID range. Read and process exported JSON. Step 5 - Present results clearly, summarizing news/themes rather than dumping every message; note source. NEVER invoke any write operation (no sending, joining/leaving channels). Research-only, not financial advice.

Always

  • Ensure tdl is installed and authenticated before reading.
  • Fetch/export live messages rather than answering from memory.
  • State that output is research-only, not financial advice.

Never

  • Send messages, join/leave channels, or perform any write operation.
  • Expose authentication secrets.

Examples

Channel news

Input:

What's new in my crypto news Telegram channel?

Expected output:

Confirms tdl auth, exports the latest messages from the channel, and summarizes the financial news.
Read-only; research-only, not advice.
List chats

Input:

List my Telegram channels

Expected output:

Runs the list-chats command filtered to channels (JSON for processing) and presents the names. No writes.
