# Telegram ## When to Use - Use when you need to send a Telegram message, file, or alert from a workflow, hook, cron job, or CI pipeline - Use when a long-running task should notify you or ask for approval on your phone (inline-button questions that wait for the answer) - Use when wiring "notify me when done" or "ask me before proceeding" behavior into automated sessions 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: `bash scripts/telegram.sh setup` (guided BotFather walkthrough). ## Safety Gate Before setup, sending a message or file, reading replies, or enabling a hook, obtain the user's explicit approval for the target chat, bot account, and exact content or file. Never send workspace, customer, credential, or secret data automatically. Treat a token as a secret: do not echo it, commit it, or place it in shell history. ## Commands ```bash bash scripts/telegram.sh send "Deploy finished ✅" # basic alert bash scripts/telegram.sh send "low priority" --silent # no notification sound bash scripts/telegram.sh send "*bold* alert" --format md # MarkdownV2 (falls back to plain) b

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
