Telegram Talk

Purpose

Use this skill when Enoch should talk with the human through Telegram.

The reusable our-ark-telegram library owns Telegram transport. This skill is a thin Enoch integration manifest; channel-neutral commands, tasks, evolution, sessions, and authorization live in enoch.app and are shared by every chat provider.

For JPEG, PNG, and WebP image messages, use the inherited telegram-vision skill and keep the image turn read-only.

Boundary

Plain Telegram messages use Enoch's read-only brain path unless Enoch's model classifies the intent as a repository edit, approved direct action, memory request, ancestor adoption, or GitHub publishing action.

For natural repository requests, Enoch may:

• read the current long-term memory and startup context;
• keep work in the persistent Codex session for the locked Telegram chat;
• refuse code-changing or GitHub work unless Telegram is locked to one chat;
• implement the requested change locally when authorized;
• run relevant tests or doctor when practical;
• coordinate commit, push, PR creation, approval, or merge only when the human asks for that action.

For ancestor commands, Enoch may:

• read .agent/lineage.yaml for the direct parent;
• recursively resolve ancestor lineage through GitHub;
• scan parent or ancestor PR history for candidate changes;
• inspect, ignore, or ask Enoch to adapt a selected candidate through the persistent Codex session.

Do not treat ordinary chat messages as approval to mutate code unless they clearly request repository work.

Configuration

Prefer Enoch's local runtime config:

telegram:
  bot_token: "..."
  allowed_chat_id: 123456789
  poll_timeout: 30
codex:
  model: "gpt-5.6-terra"
  reasoning_effort: "medium"
task:
  timeout_seconds: 600

.enoch/config.yaml is local and gitignored.

Environment variables can override local config:

• ENOCH_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
• ENOCH_TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_CHAT_ID
• ENOCH_TELEGRAM_POLL_TIMEOUT
• ENOCH_CODEX_MODEL
• ENOCH_CODEX_REASONING_EFFORT
• ENOCH_CODEX_BIN
• ENOCH_PROGRESS_INTERVAL
