telegram-openapi-skill

telegram-openapi-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from holon-run/uxc. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,589 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool guide for operating Telegram bots through the Telegram Bot API, the interface programs use to send messages and manage bots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up bot identity or chats, send text and media, receive messages by polling, or set, inspect, and remove webhooks.
Why use it?
It provides a defined way to authenticate requests, read updates, send text or media, and manage webhooks without covering the entire Telegram API.

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-openapi-skill 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate.sh), 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.

Telegram Bot API Skill

Use this skill to run Telegram Bot API operations through uxc + OpenAPI.

Reuse the uxc skill for shared execution, auth, and error-handling guidance.

Prerequisites

  • uxc is installed and available in PATH.
  • Network access to https://api.telegram.org.
  • Access to the curated OpenAPI schema URL:
    • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/telegram-openapi-skill/references/telegram-bot.openapi.json
  • A Telegram bot token from BotFather.

Scope

This skill covers a lean bot core surface:

  • bot identity and chat lookup
  • text sends
  • media sends by file_id, HTTP URL, or local multipart upload
  • polling via getUpdates
  • webhook setup/status/delete operations

This skill does not cover:

  • multipart media groups with attach:// file arrays
  • generic webhook ingestion/runtime hosting
  • the full Telegram Bot API surface

Authentication

Telegram Bot API requires the bot token in the request path: https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/METHOD_NAME.

Configure the credential with a request path prefix template:

uxc auth credential set telegram-bot \
  --auth-type api_key \
  --secret-env TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN \
  --path-prefix-template "/bot{{secret}}"

uxc auth binding add \
  --id telegram-bot \
  --host api.telegram.org \
  --scheme https \
  --credential telegram-bot \
  --priority 100

Validate the local mapping when auth looks wrong:

uxc auth binding match https://api.telegram.org/getMe

Core Workflow

  1. Use the fixed link command by default:

    • command -v telegram-openapi-cli
    • If missing, create it: uxc link telegram-openapi-cli https://api.telegram.org --schema-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/telegram-openapi-skill/references/telegram-bot.openapi.json
    • telegram-openapi-cli -h
  2. Inspect operation schema first:

    • telegram-openapi-cli get:/getMe -h
    • telegram-openapi-cli post:/sendMessage -h
    • telegram-openapi-cli post:/sendPhoto -h
    • telegram-openapi-cli post:/sendDocument -h
    • telegram-openapi-cli post:/getUpdates -h

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
