telegram-next-message

A command that retrieves the next unprocessed message from Telegram Saved Messages, Telegram's private area for saved messages, and asks what to do with it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing one saved message at a time, turning messages into notes, skipping them, detecting whether they contain a URL, video, PDF, or text, and updating processing state.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to work through saved messages while remembering which message was handled last.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

telegram-next-message scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Telegram: Get Next Unprocessed Message

Retrieve the next unprocessed message from Telegram Saved Messages and present options for handling it.

Usage

/telegram-next-message

Process

  1. Read .telegram_state.json to get the last processed message info
  2. If no messages processed yet, start from 2020-01-01
  3. Fetch next message after the last processed one (limit: 1)
  4. Display the message content with context (date, message ID)
  5. Present options:
    • Create a note from this message
    • Skip/ignore this message
    • Stop processing

After User Decision

If creating a note:

  • Detect message type (URL, YouTube, PDF, text, etc.)
  • Suggest appropriate handler command
  • Wait for user to confirm

If skipping:

  • Update .telegram_state.json with this message's ID and date
  • Ask if user wants to continue to next message

If stopping:

  • Do not update state
  • Exit workflow

State Management

Always update .telegram_state.json after processing each message:

{
  "last_processed_message_id": <message_id>,
  "last_processed_date": "<ISO_date>",
  "saved_messages_dialog_id": 264837327
}

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
