bot-guide-channels

bot-guide-channels is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Lingtai-AI/lingtai. It costs 26 tokens per session (849 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for choosing and configuring a messaging bridge for a LingTai agent. A bridge connects an agent to a service such as Telegram, email, WhatsApp or WeChat so messages can travel between them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select a supported channel, find its configuration owner, set up the connection and verify that it can receive and send messages safely.
Why use it?
It separates the communication channel from the bot itself and directs you to the current setup, credential and readiness instructions. This helps prevent treating a registered or logged-in account as proof that messages are actually being handled.

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

bot-guide-channels 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Channels: one mind, explicit bridges

Nested lingtai-bot-guide reference. Multiple channels can reach the same agent; a new channel is not automatically a new bot/process or a privileged command interface. /refresh sent as chat text does not bypass authorization.

Load the exact owner before editing

Discover mcp-manual → reference/curated-addons.md in the installed skills catalog. It owns the four-step curated setup, registry/module mapping, active activation spec, agent-relative config paths, credentials, and acceptance checks. Read the selected upstream README when provider details are needed:

Supported curated bridge Exact upstream documentation route
Telegram lingtai-telegram README
Feishu / Lark lingtai-feishu README
WeChat lingtai-wechat README; curated owner also holds bootstrap/session-expiry checklist
WhatsApp lingtai-whatsapp README
IMAP / SMTP email lingtai-imap README
Cloud Mail cloud-mail README; LingTai client fields/action limits belong to curated-addons.md and the mounted cloud_mail manual

These homepage names are provenance/docs, not a recommendation to install old standalone wheels. Current curated servers ship in the kernel distribution as lingtai.mcp_servers.*. Check the installed owner's catalog if support or module mapping differs; upstream main docs alone are not installed-version proof. No channel secret/auth schemas are copied into this reference.

For another service, discover mcp-manual → reference/third-party-and-legacy.md and that server's README/homepage. Do not claim an unlisted channel is curated or that the Telegram helper implements it. For protocol/LICC questions use lingtai-kernel-anatomy → reference/mcp-protocol.md, not a parallel setup recipe.

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.
