What it does
Telegram is an agent skill from olasunkanmi-SE/codebuddy. Send Telegram messages, files, and interact with Telegram bots via the telegram-send CLI tool.
Its SKILL.md is about 820 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots and Chatbots and conversational support. It works with Telegram. The repository describes itself as: An Autonomous AI Software Engineer. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Messaging and chat bots
- Tasks that involve Chatbots and conversational support
Example prompts
- “/telegram”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Create a bot via @BotFather on Telegram
- Enter the bot token
- Send /start to your bot to enable messaging
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a9b8cd0. 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 (its code samples are bash).
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):
t.me
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
Telegram loads about 817 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 203 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.
