What problem does it solve?
MatClaw lacks a native Telegram channel for sending and receiving messages, registering chats, and orchestrating interactive workflows; this Skill automates the code changes and setup to add Telegram as a fully integrated channel so results, alerts, and agent interactions can appear in Telegram chats.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Deterministic Code Application: Applies a reproducible package that adds a Telegram channel implementation, unit tests, imports, and environment configuration via the MatClaw skills engine.
- Comprehensive Message Handling: Supports text messages, command handlers (/chatid, /ping), mention translation to trigger formats, media placeholders for photos/videos/documents/stickers, and message splitting to respect Telegram limits.
- Operational Workflow: Guides users through creating a BotFather token, setting TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, syncing env into the container, registering chats (main vs trigger-only), and validating with automated tests and a rebuild.
- Use Cases: Receive simulation outputs and analysis in group or private chats, register automated agent swarms to appear as multiple bots, and enable real-time notifications and interactive command-driven workflows.
Quick Start
Create a Telegram bot with BotFather, set TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN in your environment, apply the skill package, and send /chatid to your bot to register a chat.
