telegram
Agent-callable Telegram bot tools — send messages, media, locations, contacts, and polls; edit, delete, forward, copy, and pin messages; resolve chats, members, and files. Use when the user mentions Telegram or wants a bot to post, manage, or look up Telegram content — including requests that don't name Telegram explicitly, e.g. "message the team channel", "post this update to the group".
npx skills add zapier/connectors --skill telegram --agent claude-code
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 _Independent, unofficial connector for Telegram. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Telegram. "Telegram" is a trademark of its owner, used only to identify the service this connector works with._ Scripts for a Telegram bot, against the [Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api) (`https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/<method>`). Send text, media, locations, contacts, and polls; edit, delete, forward, copy, and pin messages; and resolve the chats, members, and files a bot interacts with. Every script acts **as the bot** — the bot must be a member of any chat it messages, and a user must message the bot first before the bot can DM them. ## When to use this - An agent needs a Telegram bot to **send** a message, photo, document, video, audio, location, contact, or poll to a chat. - An agent needs to **manage** messages the bot sent — edit, delete, forward, copy, pin, or unpin. - An agent needs to **resolve** a chat or member — find a `chat_id` (via `listRecentChats`), confirm a chat (`getChat`), check a member's role (`getChatMember`), or list admins. ## Setup This is an [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io) skill.

What does the telegram skill do?
Agent-callable Telegram bot tools — send messages, media, locations, contacts, and polls; edit, delete, forward, copy, and pin messages; resolve chats, members, and files. Use when the user mentions Telegram or wants a bot to post, manage, or look up Telegram content — including requests that don't name Telegram explicitly, e.g. "message the team channel", "post this update to the group".
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add zapier/connectors --skill telegram --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 zapier/connectors, a repository with 113 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.
