egregore: Skill for Claude Code

Set up Telegram as a notification center for your Egregore.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (none expected)

When to invoke

Trigger phrases:

• "set up telegram", "connect telegram", "add notifications", "telegram-connect"
• "telegram group", "add telegram", "enable telegram", "link telegram"
• "notification setup", "set up notifications"

Disambiguation:

• "send a message on telegram" → NOT this — use the separate notification consent protocol in .claude/context/notification-consent.md
• "announce something" → NOT this — use /announce

Step 1: Check current state

Check for existing telegram_chat_id — it lives in .egregore-state.json (preferred) or egregore.json (legacy):

jq -r '.telegram_chat_id // empty' .egregore-state.json 2>/dev/null || jq -r '.telegram_chat_id // empty' egregore.json 2>/dev/null

If already set, show:

Telegram is already connected.

  Chat ID: {chat_id}
  Group link: {group_link}

To update it, remove `telegram_chat_id` from .egregore-state.json and run `/telegram-connect` again.

And stop.

Step 2: Guide setup

Read the org slug from egregore.json:

jq -r '.slug // empty' egregore.json 2>/dev/null

If slug is set, generate the deep link with it: https://t.me/Egregore_clbot?startgroup=org_{slug} If slug is empty, fall back to: https://t.me/Egregore_clbot?startgroup=true

To set up Telegram notifications:

  1. Create a Telegram group for your team
  2. Add the bot: {deep_link}
  3. The bot will respond with your Chat ID — copy it
  4. Get the invite link: group name → Edit → Invite Links → Copy
  5. Paste both below

Then ask for the chat ID with a structured question when available and permitted in this session; otherwise ask in plain text:

Chat ID (from the bot's message in your group):

Validate: must be a negative number (e.g., -1001234567890) — reject anything else with "That doesn't look like a Telegram chat ID. It should be a negative number like -1001234567890."
