SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Telegram conversations often need to be archived and analyzed, but manual exports are tedious and error-prone. This skill provides a reliable method to sync messages from Telegram (DMs and groups) to a local, Markdown-friendly store for offline access and analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • DMs and Groups: Sync both direct messages and group chats with configurable defaults.
  • Incremental and Full Sync: Keep local storage up-to-date with new messages or perform a full re-sync when needed.
  • Structured Output: Messages are saved in Markdown-friendly format with per-conversation directories for easy lookup and processing.
  • Use Case: Imagine auditing a community's conversations for compliance or sentiment trends; this tool makes it feasible to export and analyze historical messages.

Quick Start

  • Run a full sync: python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/telegram_sync.py
  • Sync groups only (no DMs): python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/telegram_sync.py --no-dms
  • Sync a specific group: python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/telegram_sync.py --group 1234567890
