hive.telegram-notifications-setup

hive.telegram-notifications-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aden-hive/hive. It costs 121 tokens per session (2,226 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup process for Telegram notifications for a Sentinel colony. Telegram is a messaging service; the setup creates a bot, finds the chat to notify, and connects alerts and replies to Sentinel.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Telegram alerts and replies need to be enabled for a colony. It covers bot creation, credential storage, chat detection, activation, and a test message.
Why use it?
It removes the need to configure the bot, token, chat, and notification settings manually. This lets Sentinel notify the user when a colony stalls and receive replies.

About the project

OpenHive is a runtime for groups of specialized AI agents that collaborate on long-running business processes. A persistent lead agent, called the Queen, creates and coordinates worker agents while the system manages state, recovery, observability, costs, and human oversight. The catalogue entries provide agent skills, instructions, and integrations for working with this harness.

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

hive.telegram-notifications-setup scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Telegram Notifications Setup (Sentinel)

Sentinel pings the user on Telegram when a colony stalls and lets them reply to keep it going. It needs one thing: a Telegram bot token (123456:ABC-…), created via @BotFather and stored under credential id telegram. The same token sends alerts and reads the user's replies.

You do the whole thing end to end with the sentinel_setup tool (the same API the desktop connector uses): create the bot, store the token, detect the chat, point Sentinel at it, and send a test — without making the user paste anything.

Activate hive.browser-automation first — this skill assumes you know the lifecycle rules (the bridge attaches to the user's own Chrome; never launch or kill a browser), the screenshot + viewport-fraction coordinate workflow, and hive-browser interact. Telegram Web is a heavy SPA with custom rendering, so prefer the screenshot + coordinate path over selectors when the snapshot is unclear.

Telegram Web specifics (verified)

  • Telegram Web defaults to the K version at https://web.telegram.org/k/. The selectors below are verified there; fall back to screenshot + coordinates if a selector doesn't match (e.g. the older /a/ version).
  • Message composer: #editable-message-text — click it, type your text, send with the Enter key. Used for /newbot, /start, etc.
  • Global search: the search box is top-left (around [0.13, 0.04]). Click it, type a name, then click the result row to open that chat.
  • Read a bot's reply as text (don't OCR a screenshot): run hive-browser page text ".chat-message:last-child" --json in the terminal — it returns the latest message verbatim — this is how you capture the token without transposing characters.

Before you start — check what already exists

  1. Run sentinel_setup({"action": "status"}). If it shows telegram already configured, the token's stored — skip to Step 3 (detect the chat) (or straight to Step 4 if the colony config is already set), don't make a new bot.
  2. Confirm the user is signed into Telegram: run hive-browser open / hive-browser navigate https://web.telegram.org/k/ --json in the terminal. You cannot log in for them — you don't have their phone or SMS code. If it shows a QR / phone-number login, STOP and ask the user to log into Telegram Web in their Chrome, then continue. Don't fight the login screen or try to switch login methods yourself.

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.
