What it does

Tg is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Telegram CLI for reading, searching, and sending messages. Use when the user asks about Telegram messages, wants to check inbox, search chats, send messages, or look up contacts and groups.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about Telegram messages
  • Wants to check inbox
  • Look up contacts and groups

Example prompts

  • “/tg”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 loads about 697 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 145 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~697

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.
