telegram-bot

Build Telegram bots using teloxide (Rust), aiogram (Python), or grammY/telegraf (Node). Define command handlers for /start, /help, and custom commands; the Skill provides patterns for routing messages and executing handler logic across all three frameworks.

Protect API tokens using environment variables and gitignore configuration. The Skill sets up project protection with secret management patterns and pre-commit hooks to prevent accidentally committing tokens to version control.

Yes. Both teloxide, aiogram, and grammY/telegraf support inline keyboards with callback queries. The Skill includes patterns for designing interactive keyboards, handling callback responses, and managing button state across user interactions.

Finite State Machines enable multi-step dialogs and conversation flows. The Skill demonstrates FSM-based dialog patterns across Rust, Python, and Node, allowing bots to track user state and guide conversations through sequential steps.

Polling continuously fetches updates; webhooks receive them via HTTP. The Skill covers both approaches—polling suits local development and small deployments, while webhooks scale better for production. Choose based on your hosting environment and latency requirements.

The Skill supports Rust (teloxide), Python (aiogram 3.x), and Node (grammY/telegraf). Choose Rust for performance, Python for rapid development, or Node for JavaScript ecosystem familiarity. All three provide equivalent command, keyboard, and callback patterns.
