A set of instructions for building and maintaining tg-cli-bridge, a Go program that sends Telegram messages to an agent command-line tool and returns its replies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building, testing, inspecting, configuring, or changing tg-cli-bridge, including its Telegram handling, command execution, output parsing, and macOS service setup.
Why use it?
It gives developers the project’s build, test, configuration, and internal-structure details needed to work on the bridge safely.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions Gemini CLI.

This is jaxhemopo/tg-cli-bridge's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on tg-cli-bridge itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything tg-cli-bridge configures →

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

tg-cli-bridge GEMINI.md 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 2mo 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

tg-cli-bridge — project context

Go binary. Bridges a Telegram bot to an agentic CLI (Gemini CLI, AGY, Claude Code, etc.).

Build & test

go build -o tg-cli-bridge ./cmd/tg-cli-bridge
go test ./...
go vet ./...

How it works

Each incoming Telegram message spawns the agent CLI once as a subprocess, captures stdout, and sends the response back. No persistent process. Session continuity via the CLI's own --resume / --continue flag.

Telegram message → rpc.Run(CLI --prompt "text") → parse stdout → Telegram reply

Key files

  • cmd/tg-cli-bridge/main.go — CLI subcommands (init, run, install, status, logs…)
  • internal/bridge/bridge.go — main loop, Telegram update handling, status bubble, command dispatch
  • internal/rpc/rpc.go — subprocess execution, stdout streaming, progress callbacks
  • internal/output/output.go — ANSI stripping, prose/code classification, menu parsing, DiffSince
  • internal/config/config.go — TOML config, KnownPresets map, UpdateCLI for live switching
  • internal/launchd/launchd.go — macOS LaunchAgent lifecycle

Config location

Default: ~/.config/tg-cli-bridge/config.toml

Required fields: [telegram].bot_token, [telegram].allowed_user_ids, [session].launch_command

Telegram commands (runtime)

/new, /switch <gemini|agy|claude>, /status, /yes, /help

Adding a new CLI

  1. Add to KnownPresets in internal/config/config.go
  2. Add to cliPresets in cmd/tg-cli-bridge/main.go
  3. The CLI needs a headless flag (--prompt or --print) that prints output to stdout and exits

Working directory context

Agents load GEMINI.md (or CLAUDE.md) from working_dir at startup. Put tool documentation there — see examples/GEMINI.md.example for a Google Workspace example.

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.
