telegram-bot-handling

telegram-bot-handling is a cursor rule for Cursor from vendelieu/telegram-bot. It costs 0 tokens per session (831 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for handling updates in a Kotlin Telegram bot library. It covers ordinary handlers and multi-step wizards, where a bot guides someone through several inputs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Implementing Telegram bot handlers, multi-step conversations, input validation, state storage, and transitions such as retrying or finishing.
Why use it?
It keeps different handler styles and wizard state working in a consistent way. This helps prevent mistakes when processing messages and moving users between steps.

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-bot-handling 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 4d 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.

Telegram Bot Handling Architecture

Activity

Activity.kt is the interface for all handler functions.

  • id: Unique identifier (hash of signature)
  • qualifier: Qualified class name (or "functional" for DSL)
  • function: Handler name
  • invoke(context): Runs the handler with ProcessingContext

LambdaActivity: Runtime implementation used by FunctionalHandlingDsl. Wraps a suspend lambda.

KSP-generated Activity: Classes generated by ktnip from annotated functions; same interface.

WizardActivity

WizardActivity.kt extends Activity for multi-step wizard flows.

  • Abstract: Concrete implementations generated by KSP from @WizardHandler classes
  • steps: List of WizardStep; order defines flow
  • start(ctx): Enters initial step, sets inputListener
  • handleInput(ctx): Validates input, applies Transition (Next, JumpTo, Retry, Finish), persists state via WizardStateManager
  • getStateManagerForStep(step, bot): Resolves state manager for step's store() return type

WizardStep: onEntry, validate -> Transition, store (optional), onRetry

WizardContext: user, update, bot; getState/setState/delState for step state (type-safe accessors generated by KSP).

Functional DSL vs Annotation Approach

Both approaches produce Activity instances and register them in ActivityRegistry. Same pipeline processes them.

Functional DSL

  • Entry: bot.setFunctionality { } or bot.handleUpdates() with functional block
  • FunctionalHandlingDsl: onCommand, onInput, inputChain, common, onUpdate, whenNotHandled
  • Creates: LambdaActivity at runtime; registers via registry.registerActivity, registerCommand, registerInput, etc.
  • FunctionalDSLUtils: onMessage, onCallbackQuery, etc. — typed wrappers over onUpdate(UpdateType.X) for better ActivityCtx<MessageUpdate> inference

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.
