What it does

Add Telegram API Tests is an agent skill from vendelieu/telegram-bot. Writes tests for Telegram Bot API actions. Use when adding tests for an API action, testing a new Telegram method, or when the user asks to add tests for the telegram-bot library.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 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, API testing and Android development. It works with Telegram and Kotlin. The repository describes itself as: Telegram Bot API wrapper with handy Kotlin DSL. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding tests for an API action
  • Testing a new Telegram method
  • The user asks to add tests for the telegram-bot library

Example prompts

  • “Use the add-telegram-api-tests skill to write tests for Telegram Bot API actions. An agent skill from vendelieu/telegram-bot”
  • “/add-telegram-api-tests”

Requirements

  • A credential in BOT_TOKEN

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Test Class Setup
  2. API Call Helpers
  3. Assertions
  4. Rate Limits (429)
  5. Test Placement
  6. Environment

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1dbfd00. 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 kotlin).

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • BOT_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Add Telegram API Tests loads about 609 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 175 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~609

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.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:57
    Tests load from `.env` or system env. Required for most tests:

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.

Add Telegram API Tests

Workflow

1. Test Class Setup
  • Extend BotTestContext (provides bot, TG_ID, CHAT_ID, CHANNEL_ID)
  • Use Kotest AnnotationSpec with @Test suspend fun
  • Test names: backtick string e.g. `method name method test`
kotlin
class MyApiTest : BotTestContext() {
    @Test
    suspend fun `my method test`() {
        // ...
    }
}
2. API Call Helpers
  • Action (chat-based): action.sendReq(to = TG_ID, via = bot) or action.sendReq(CHAT_ID)
  • SimpleAction: action.sendReq(via = bot) or action.sendReq()
  • MediaAction: same as Action
  • Defaults: sendReq() uses TG_ID and bot when omitted
3. Assertions
  • Success: .shouldSuccess() - asserts ok, isSuccess, getOrNull not null
  • Optional result: .getOrNull() when success not guaranteed
  • Failure: .shouldFailure() - returns Response.Failure
  • Error text: response.shouldFailure() shouldContainInDescription "ERROR_TEXT"
4. Rate Limits (429)

For methods that may hit rate limits (e.g. setMyName):

kotlin
val result = setMyName("test").sendReq()
result.onFailure { if (it.errorCode == 429) return }
result.shouldSuccess()
5. Test Placement
  • Path: telegram-bot/src/jvmTest/kotlin/eu/vendeli/api/
  • Mirror API package: botactions/, media/, message/, chat/, etc.
  • Add to existing test class if one exists for that API area
6. Environment

Tests load from .env or system env. Required for most tests:

  • TELEGRAM_ID - your Telegram user ID
  • BOT_TOKEN - bot token from BotFather

Optional:

  • CHAT_ID - for chat/group tests
  • CHANNEL_ID - for channel tests
  • BOT_TOKEN_2 - rate-limit testing
