rich-post

rich-post is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from smixs/iva-agent. It costs 129 tokens per session (1,834 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for sending one richly formatted message to another approved Telegram chat through a bot. A Telegram bot is a program that can send messages; the message can combine text, images, tables, headings, lists, quotes, collapsible sections, formulas, and collages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to publish formatted reports, tables, task lists, image-based updates, formulas, or slideshows to another approved Telegram chat.
Why use it?
It avoids splitting a complex update into several messages or sending a plain-text version that loses its layout. It is meant for a different approved chat, not the conversation you are currently using.

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

rich-post 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 9d 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.

rich-post — Telegram rich messages via the bot

Send ONE message that mixes text, inline images, tables, headings, lists, block quotes, collapsible blocks and formulas. This is sendRichMessage (Bot API 10.1, June 2026), not an album.

When NOT to use this

A report or an answer for the chat you are talking in is the plain reply of the turn. The Outbox (agent/lib/outbox.ts) already routes a reply that needs tables, task lists, <details> or block formulas into sendRichMessage, and falls back to HTML if Bot API refuses it. Sending the same text with iva post on top of that reply simply delivers it twice. Reach for this skill only when the destination is a different allowlisted chat, or when the post needs inline images and the owner asked for it there.

Album (sendMediaGroup) = up to 10 media, ONE caption, no text between images. Rich message = up to 50 media, text/tables/blocks interleaved in a single bubble. If the user wants "картинка в середине текста" or "таблица в посте" — this skill.

Quick start

iva post is the installed CLI command; run it from anywhere.

iva post --md-file /tmp/post.md
  • Recipient: by default the message goes to TELEGRAM_DIGEST_CHAT_ID from .env. An explicit --chat <id> is accepted ONLY if the id is allowlisted (TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USER_IDS + TELEGRAM_DIGEST_CHAT_ID) — the recipient of a report is the owner's setting, not the model's choice. Anything else is refused without sending.
  • --md / --md-file — markdown content (--md-file - reads stdin).
  • --dry-run — OFFLINE check: validates the markdown and image paths, prints the result; nothing is uploaded or sent. Always run this first.
  • --allow-upload — see «Local images» below. Off by default.
  • --silent, --thread-id — optional.
  • Token: taken from the installation's .env. There is NO --token flag (argv is visible in the process list) — don't put the token on the command line.

Local images — read before using

Telegram accepts ONLY public URLs for rich-message media (attach:// and multipart upload fail with RICH_MESSAGE_PHOTO_URL_INVALID). So a local image referenced as ![](file:/abs/path "caption") must first be uploaded to a public host. The command uses tmpfiles.org — an anonymous PUBLIC host: anyone with the link can open the file while it lives there.

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.
