building-telegram-bots

building-telegram-bots is a skill for Claude Code from isvlasov/rageatc-oss. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,024 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development guide for Telegram bots written with supported Python or Node.js frameworks. Telegram bots are programs that respond to messages and actions through Telegram's Bot API.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing, extending, or debugging bots made with python-telegram-bot, aiogram, grammY, or Telegraf.
Why use it?
Telegram and its bot frameworks change regularly, so it requires checking the project's exact framework version before code is written.

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

building-telegram-bots 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 10d 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.

Building Telegram Bots

Prevents stale-knowledge failures when writing Telegram bot code. The Bot API updates roughly quarterly and frameworks more often, so training-time knowledge is unreliable — this skill enforces a verification protocol (detect, fetch, confirm) before any bot code is generated.

Scope

Covered: python-telegram-bot, aiogram (Python); grammY, Telegraf (Node.js)

Not covered: Other languages or frameworks; Telegram client API (TDLib); bot deployment and hosting; payment and monetisation APIs

Verification Protocol

Run this protocol before writing any bot code. Do not skip steps.

Step 1 — Detect the project framework and version

Read the project dependency manifest:

  • Python project: check pyproject.toml first, then requirements.txt
  • Node.js project: read package.jsondependencies and devDependencies

Identify which framework is present and its pinned or constrained version. If a lock file exists (package-lock.json, poetry.lock, uv.lock), read it for the exact resolved version.

See references/framework-guide.md → "Detecting Framework Version from Project Files" for manifest patterns.

Step 2 — Identify the Bot API version the framework targets

Map the framework version to its supported Bot API version.

See references/framework-guide.md → "Framework Fact Sheets" for the current mapping table.

Staleness warning: If the project uses Telegraf v4.x, issue an explicit warning before proceeding. See references/framework-guide.md → "Telegraf Staleness Warning" for required warning text.

Step 3 — Fetch the current Bot API changelog

Fetch https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#recent-changes to identify the current Bot API version. Compare it to the version the project's framework targets. Note any gap.

If the user is asking about a feature introduced in a Bot API version newer than the framework's support ceiling, tell them the framework does not yet support it.

Step 4 — Fetch framework-specific documentation for the feature being built

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.
