What it does
Comms is an agent skill from grandamenium/cortextos. A message has just arrived in your session from the fast-checker daemon — you see a block starting with === TELEGRAM or === AGENT MESSAGE. Read it, decide what action to take, and reply using the command shown in the message header. If it is from the user, they are waiting for your response right now. If it is from another agent, they may be blocked on your reply. Handle all messages before returning to other work.
Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with Telegram. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/comms”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read every message block in the injected content
- For each message, take action or respond using the Reply using: command shown in the header
- For agent messages, always include the msg_id as the reply_to argument so conversations thread correctly
- The fast-checker handles temp file cleanup automatically
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f93838. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Comms loads about 602 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 219 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Handling Incoming Messages
Messages are delivered in real time by the fast-checker daemon running alongside your session. You will see them appear in your input as formatted blocks.
Message Format
=== TELEGRAM from <name> (chat_id:<id>) ===
<message text>
Reply using: cortextos bus send-telegram <chat_id> "<your reply>"
=== AGENT MESSAGE from <agent> [msg_id: <id>] ===
<message text>
Reply using: cortextos bus send-message <agent> normal '<your reply>' <msg_id>What To Do
- Read every message block in the injected content
- For each message, take action or respond using the
Reply using:command shown in the header - For agent messages, always include the
msg_idas the reply_to argument so conversations thread correctly - The fast-checker handles temp file cleanup automatically
Priority
urgentpriority inbox messages: handle immediately, save current work state first- Callback queries (inline button presses): process the callback_data and acknowledge via
send-telegram - Photos: local file path is provided, use it directly
Waiting for a Response
If you send a Telegram message that asks a question and you need the answer before continuing your work, you MUST end your current response entirely (stop all tool execution, produce no more output). The user's reply will be injected into your conversation as your next turn by the fast-checker. If you keep executing tools after sending the question, the reply gets queued by Claude Code and you will never see it until your turn ends. End your turn, and the reply arrives.
Done
After handling all messages, return to your current task or wait for the next injection.

Can I use Comms in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add grandamenium/cortextos --skill comms -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/comms, .gemini/skills/comms, .github/skills/comms and .opencode/skills/comms in your project.
What does Comms need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Comms is instructions for the agent only.

How many tokens does Comms use?
About 602 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
