Tg Responder

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user says /tg-responder review
• /tg-responder status
• /tg-responder follow-ups
• Check telegram drafts

Example prompts

• “/tg-responder review”
• “/tg-responder status”
• “/tg-responder follow-ups”
• “/tg-responder”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Original message — who sent it, when, what they said
2. 2Draft response — the proposed reply
3. 3Options: approve (send as-is), edit (modify then send), skip

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3b88261. 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

  Ships 9 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • python3

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  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

Tg Responder loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 250 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~78

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1k

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Review and send Telegram response drafts, manage follow-ups for unanswered outbound messages. Use when the user says "/tg-responder review", "/tg-responder status", "/tg-responder follow-ups", "check telegram drafts", "review pending messages", "telegram inbox", "who hasn't replied", or "follow up".

python3 ~/.claude/skills/tg-responder/scripts/schema.py  # ensure DB exists

-- Pending drafts needing approval
SELECT o.id, o.chat_id, o.draft_text, o.draft_reason, o.source,
       i.sender_name, i.text as original_text, i.urgency, i.category,
       datetime(i.received_at, 'unixepoch') as received
FROM outbox o
JOIN inbox i ON o.inbox_id = i.id
WHERE o.status = 'draft'
ORDER BY
  CASE i.urgency WHEN 'urgent' THEN 0 WHEN 'normal' THEN 1 ELSE 2 END,
  o.created_at ASC;

-- Inbox stats
SELECT status, count(*) FROM inbox GROUP BY status;

-- Outbox stats
SELECT status, count(*) FROM outbox GROUP BY status;

-- Recent activity
SELECT sender_name, route, status, datetime(created_at, 'unixepoch')
FROM inbox ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 10;

# Scan for new unanswered messages (needs Telethon session — stop daemon first)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/tg-responder/scripts/follow_ups.py scan

# Process due reminders (drafts to Telegram or outbox)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/tg-responder/scripts/follow_ups.py remind

# List active follow-ups
python3 ~/.claude/skills/tg-responder/scripts/follow_ups.py list

# Archive expired follow-ups
python3 ~/.claude/skills/tg-responder/scripts/follow_ups.py archive

# Run all (scan + check replies + remind + archive)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/tg-responder/scripts/follow_ups.py all

SELECT sender_name, outbound_text, reminder_count, max_reminders,
       datetime(outbound_at, 'unixepoch') as sent,
       datetime(next_reminder_at, 'unixepoch') as next_ping,
       status
