telegram-search: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/telegram-search-cli/SKILL.md

telegram-search-cli is a skill for Codex from groupultra/telegram-search. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,543 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A skill for operating a local command-line tool that searches Telegram conversations. Telegram is a messaging service, and the skill works with authorized profiles and user-approved message data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover chats, search stored messages, read selected history, synchronize an approved Telegram Takeout, add context, calculate statistics, or export JSONL data.
Why use it?
It avoids relying on manual browsing when looking for messages or patterns in Telegram chats. It also supports bounded reading, saved searches, statistics, and structured exports.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is groupultra/telegram-search's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on telegram-search 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-search configures →

About the project

Telegram Search exports Telegram chat history and provides local full-text, fuzzy, and semantic search across the saved messages and media. It is used to back up personal conversations, locate information across large multilingual chats, and ask AI questions based on message history. The catalogue entries add agent and CLI workflows for exporting, synchronizing, and searching Telegram data.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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-search-cli 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run-canary.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

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.
