What it does

Build Reply Keyboard is an agent skill from vendelieu/telegram-bot. Builds reply keyboards for messages using the telegram-bot DSL. Use when adding persistent or one-time keyboards, request contact/location buttons, or Web App buttons for user input.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 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 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 persistent
  • One-time keyboards
  • Request contact/location buttons
  • Web App buttons for user input

Example prompts

  • “Use the build-reply-keyboard skill to build reply keyboards for messages using the telegram-bot DSL”
  • “/build-reply-keyboard”

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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Build Reply Keyboard loads about 627 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 164 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
~627

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.

Build Reply Keyboard

Quick Start

Use replyKeyboardMarkup { } or replyKeyboardMarkup(block). Attach via markup() or replyKeyboardMarkup { } on send actions.

kotlin
message("Choose an option:")
    .replyKeyboardMarkup {
        +"Option A"
        +"Option B"
        newLine()
        "Share contact" requestContact true
        options { resizeKeyboard = true; oneTimeKeyboard = true }
    }
    .send(user, bot)

Simple Buttons

Use unary plus to add plain text buttons:

kotlin
+"Button 1"
+"Button 2"
newLine()
+"Next row"

Special Buttons

TypeSyntaxAvailability
Request contact"Share contact" requestContact truePrivate chats only
Request location"Share location" requestLocation truePrivate chats only
Request user"Select user" requestUser KeyboardButtonRequestUsers(...)Private chats only
Request chat"Select chat" requestChat KeyboardButtonRequestChat(...)Private chats only
Request poll"Create poll" requestPoll KeyboardButtonPollType(...)Private chats only
Web App"Open app" webApp "https://..."Private chats only

Options

Configure via options { }:

  • resizeKeyboard = true — keyboard resizes to fit screen
  • oneTimeKeyboard = true — keyboard hides after one use
  • inputFieldPlaceholder = "Type here..." — placeholder in input field (1-64 chars)
  • selective = true — show only to @mentioned users or reply target
  • isPersistent = true — keyboard stays visible (for oneTimeKeyboard)

Rows

Use newLine() or br() to start a new row, same as inline keyboards.

Removing the Keyboard

When done, send a message with replyKeyboardRemove():

kotlin
message("Keyboard removed")
    .replyKeyboardRemove()
    .send(user, bot)

Or replyKeyboardRemove(selective = true) for selective removal.
