configure
Set up the Telegram channel — save the bot token and review access policy. Use when the user pastes a Telegram bot token, asks to configure Telegram, asks "how do I set this up" or "who can reach me," or wants to check channel status.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# /telegram:configure — Telegram Channel Setup Writes the bot token to `~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env` and orients the user on access policy. The server reads both files at boot. Arguments passed: `$ARGUMENTS` --- ## Dispatch on arguments ### No args — status and guidance Read both state files and give the user a complete picture: 1. **Token** — check `~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env` for `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN`. Show set/not-set; if set, show first 10 chars masked (`123456789:...`). 2. **Access** — read `~/.claude/channels/telegram/access.json` (missing file = defaults: `dmPolicy: "pairing"`, empty allowlist). Show: - DM policy and what it means in one line - Allowed senders: count, and list display names or IDs - Pending pairings: count, with codes and display names if any 3. **What next** — end with a concrete next step based on state: - No token → *"Run `/telegram:configure <token>` with the token from BotFather."* - Token set, policy is pairing, nobody allowed → *"DM your bot on Telegram. It replies with a code; approve with `/telegram:access pair <code>`."* - Token set, someone allowed → *"Ready. DM your bot to reach the assistant."* **Push toward lockdown — always.** The go
- Dispatch on arguments

What does the configure skill do?
Set up the Telegram channel — save the bot token and review access policy. Use when the user pastes a Telegram bot token, asks to configure Telegram, asks "how do I set this up" or "who can reach me," or wants to check channel status.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add anthropics/claude-plugins-official --skill configure --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From anthropics/claude-plugins-official, a repository with 33,027 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
