What it does
Setup is an agent skill from terranc/claude-telegram-bot-bridge. Install and configure the Telegram Skill Bot. Use when users ask to install, set up, or configure the bot. Supports multi-language installation guidance (English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, German). Handles system requirement checks, bot token collection, user whitelist configuration, proxy setup, virtual environment creation, dependency installation, and .env file generation.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Chatbots and conversational support. It works with Telegram and Python. The repository describes itself as: A lightweight Telegram bot that bridges Claude Code to any local folder, with autostart support for remote mobile development.
When your agent uses it
- Users ask to install
- Configure the bot
Example prompts
- “/setup”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
- A credential in TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
- A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Detect Language
- Check System Requirements
- Get Telegram Bot Token
- Optional Configuration
- Create Virtual Environment
- Install Dependencies
- Save Configuration
- Optional Voice Message Support
- Completion
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b6e82be. 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:
python3pipbrewclaudenpm
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):
python.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
OPENAI_API_KEYTELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Setup loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 691 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

ses to enable voice support, update the `.env` file by uncommenting and setting these variables: - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:129
guration options are already present in `.env` as commented defaults from Step 7.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 691 words (~1,506 tokens).
“This skill guides users through installing the Telegram Skill Bot in their preferred language.”
