telegram-bot: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/add-telegram-api-tests/SKILL.md

add-telegram-api-tests is a skill for Cursor from vendelieu/telegram-bot. It costs 44 tokens per session (677 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for writing tests for Telegram Bot API actions in Kotlin using the Kotest testing framework. It defines the test base class, request helpers, response checks, rate-limit handling, and test location.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding a test for a new Telegram method or API action. It helps create suspend tests, send requests to chats, verify responses, check error messages, and place files correctly.
Why use it?
It keeps Telegram API tests consistent across the library and makes common success and failure cases explicit. It also accounts for Telegram's 429 rate-limit response.

Skill for Cursor

This is vendelieu/telegram-bot's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on telegram-bot itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything telegram-bot configures →

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

add-telegram-api-tests 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 2mo 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.

Add Telegram API Tests

Workflow

1. Test Class Setup

  • Extend BotTestContext (provides bot, TG_ID, CHAT_ID, CHANNEL_ID)
  • Use Kotest AnnotationSpec with @Test suspend fun
  • Test names: backtick string e.g. `method name method test`
class MyApiTest : BotTestContext() {
    @Test
    suspend fun `my method test`() {
        // ...
    }
}

2. API Call Helpers

  • Action (chat-based): action.sendReq(to = TG_ID, via = bot) or action.sendReq(CHAT_ID)
  • SimpleAction: action.sendReq(via = bot) or action.sendReq()
  • MediaAction: same as Action
  • Defaults: sendReq() uses TG_ID and bot when omitted

3. Assertions

  • Success: .shouldSuccess() - asserts ok, isSuccess, getOrNull not null
  • Optional result: .getOrNull() when success not guaranteed
  • Failure: .shouldFailure() - returns Response.Failure
  • Error text: response.shouldFailure() shouldContainInDescription "ERROR_TEXT"

4. Rate Limits (429)

For methods that may hit rate limits (e.g. setMyName):

val result = setMyName("test").sendReq()
result.onFailure { if (it.errorCode == 429) return }
result.shouldSuccess()

5. Test Placement

  • Path: telegram-bot/src/jvmTest/kotlin/eu/vendeli/api/
  • Mirror API package: botactions/, media/, message/, chat/, etc.
  • Add to existing test class if one exists for that API area

6. Environment

Tests load from .env or system env. Required for most tests:

  • TELEGRAM_ID - your Telegram user ID
  • BOT_TOKEN - bot token from BotFather

Optional:

  • CHAT_ID - for chat/group tests
  • CHANNEL_ID - for channel tests
  • BOT_TOKEN_2 - rate-limit testing

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.
