telegram-cli: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

telegram-cli AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from leynier/telegram-cli. It costs 526 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for clitg, a non-interactive command-line program that lets AI agents work with Telegram through structured JSON output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or testing Telegram listing, searching, resolving, authentication, and capability commands with uv, Ruff, and type checking.
Why use it?
They define the public behavior agents and scripts depend on, including schemas, exit codes, safety rules, and protection of private login information.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is leynier/telegram-cli's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on telegram-cli 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 telegram-cli 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

telegram-cli AGENTS.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 1mo 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.

Purpose

Build and maintain clitg as a deterministic, non-interactive Telegram CLI for AI agents. Treat its stdout JSON, schemas, exit codes, safety checks, and capability manifest as public APIs.

Tooling

  • Use uv for all Python and dependency operations.
  • Create project metadata with uv init; add or remove dependencies with uv add and uv remove.
  • Commit uv.lock and .python-version. Do not hand-edit dependency arrays.
  • Run Python commands through uv run.
  • Use Ruff for formatting and linting, and ty for type checking.
  • Write code, comments, documentation, tests, and commit messages in English.

Product invariants

  • Never add interactive prompts. All values must arrive through options, environment variables, files, or explicitly selected stdin.
  • Emit operational successes and failures as schema-versioned JSON or JSONL on stdout.
  • Keep stderr empty unless redacted verbose diagnostics were explicitly requested.
  • Never print or log API hashes, login codes, passwords, auth keys, or session material.
  • Do not mark messages read during list, get, search, resolve, schema, or capability operations.
  • Resolve ambiguous peers by returning candidates; never guess a mutation target.
  • Support --dry-run for every mutation. Preserve exact confirmation and critical-token checks.
  • Treat unknown raw methods as critical until their risk has been reviewed.
  • Keep personal sessions, credentials, Telegram data, and real account identifiers out of tests.

Architecture

  • Keep Typer presentation, application services, storage, and Telethon integration separated.
  • Keep Telethon and dynamic TL values at adapter boundaries; use typed Pydantic models internally.
  • Prefer the friendly Telethon API for dedicated commands and the generated TL registry for raw coverage.
  • Update generated schemas and capabilities whenever public models or Telethon change.
  • Preserve schema 0.2 across patch releases. A breaking contract requires a new minor schema and a coordinated skill update.

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.
