Nested swiss-knife reference for creating and operating a headless LingTai bot project without opening the TUI. Start from `lingtai-tui spawn`, then apply the relevant addon/MCP wiring, keep secrets in sidecar files, copy preset policy by referencing existing presets instead of copying preset JSON files, refresh or relaunch, and verify the bot safely. The bundled helper currently implements the Telegram MCP case.
Passed 22 of 22 test cases with the skill, and 11 of 22 without it.

This benchmark measured an earlier version of the skill.
A newer attempt on gemini-3.6-flash on 10/2/2026 did not produce a publishable comparison (not comparable). The snapshot above is the previously measured run.
One of 11 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
After modifying the init.json configuration and secret files for an active LingTai agent, what file system operation triggers an immediate configuration reload without restarting the host daemon?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Instructs touching the .refresh file inside the agent directory | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Use this reference when a human asks for a LingTai-backed bot that should run as its own project without stepping through the interactive TUI. The pattern is channel-agnostic:
lingtai-tui spawn.init.json.manifest.preset) by
referencing the intended saved/template presets.Do not fabricate .lingtai/ by hand. The supported bootstrap entrypoint remains
lingtai-tui spawn. The helper bundled here currently provisions Telegram bots;
future helpers for other chat surfaces should live under this same generic
reference rather than creating channel-specific top-level skill names.
Common inputs:
PROJECT_DIR: new project directory. It must not already contain .lingtai/.PRESET: saved or template preset name for the initial lingtai-tui spawn.AGENT_NAME: agent directory/name to create under .lingtai/.LANGUAGE: one of en, zh, or wen.init.json if the new bot should inherit the same
manifest.preset policy as an existing orchestrator.Telegram-specific inputs:
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN: bot token from @BotFather. Keep it in the environment
or a local prompt, never in shell history, logs, git, issues, or docs.ALLOWED_USERS: comma-separated Telegram numeric user IDs allowed to talk to
the bot.Run the bundled helper. Use the installed-bundle path
