The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Send updates, alerts, and files to Telegram; read replies; run ask-and-wait approval flows. Pure bash + curl + jq — no install beyond a bot token.
First run: scripts/telegram.sh setup (guided BotFather walkthrough).
scripts/telegram.sh send "Deploy finished ✅" # basic alert
scripts/telegram.sh send "low priority" --silent # no notification sound
scripts/telegram.sh send "*bold* alert" --format md # MarkdownV2 (falls back to plain)
scripts/telegram.sh send "hi" --to alerts --bot work # named target + named bot
scripts/telegram.sh file report.pdf "Q3 report" # document (photos auto-detected)
scripts/telegram.sh read # new incoming messages since last read
ANSWER=$(scripts/telegram.sh ask "Deploy to prod?" --options "Yes,No" --timeout 300)
# exit 0 = answered (stdout = answer), 2 = timeout
Env vars win, then ~/.config/telegram/config (mode 600):
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=123:ABC... # default bot
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=987654321 # default target
BOT_ALERTS_TOKEN=456:DEF... # --bot alerts (add via: setup --bot alerts)
TARGET_FAMILY=-100987... # --to family (any chat/group/channel id)
Replies and answers are only accepted from configured chat IDs.
