What it does

Channel Message Flows is an agent skill from openclaw/openclaw. Use when running QA Lab channel message flow evidence.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 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 repository describes itself as: The AI that really does things. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Running QA Lab channel message flow evidence

Example prompts

  • “/channel-message-flows”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1eb5970. 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:

    • node

    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

Channel Message Flows loads about 306 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 79 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~306

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.

Channel Message Flows

Use this from the OpenClaw repo root to run the QA Lab evidence for Telegram draft/final delivery sequencing. The behavior is owned by one transport-native QA flow that can run through QA Channel or Crabline Telegram.

QA Scenario

Run the scenario through QA Lab:

bash
OPENCLAW_BUILD_PRIVATE_QA=1 node scripts/run-node.mjs qa suite \
  --provider-mode mock-openai \
  --scenario channel-message-flows \
  --channel-driver qa-channel

Run the same YAML through the real Telegram plugin against Crabline's local provider server:

bash
OPENCLAW_BUILD_PRIVATE_QA=1 node scripts/run-node.mjs qa suite \
  --provider-mode mock-openai \
  --scenario channel-message-flows \
  --channel-driver crabline \
  --channel telegram
