telegram-guide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Synaptic-Labs-AI/PACT-Plugin. It costs 40 tokens per session (417 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

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-guide 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Telegram Notifications

Telegram is an optional add-on. Not all PACT users have it installed. Before using any telegram tool, check if it exists in your available tools. If telegram_notify is not listed, do NOT attempt to call it — skip all Telegram functionality silently with no errors or warnings to the user.

How to check: If telegram_notify appears in your tool list, the bridge is active. If not, ignore this entire section.

Available tools (only when bridge is active):

Tool Purpose Blocking?
telegram_notify Send one-way notification (completions, deployments, alerts) No
telegram_ask Ask a blocking question with optional buttons; supports text/voice replies Yes
telegram_check_replies Poll for queued replies to notifications No
telegram_status Health check (connection, mode, queue depth) No

When to notify (target ~3-5 per session):

  • Task or phase completions
  • Blockers found or algedonic signals
  • PR ready for review or merged
  • Deployments pushed

When to use telegram_ask:

  • Blocking decisions where user may be away from terminal
  • Scope clarifications that can't proceed without input

When to check replies (telegram_check_replies):

  • Between tasks or phases — check if user reacted to any notification
  • After sending important notifications — user may reply with corrections or new instructions
  • Replies include context snippet of the original notification

Multi-session behavior:

  • Messages are prefixed with [ProjectName] for session identification
  • Multiple sessions coordinate via file-based polling — replies route to the correct session
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.
