create-telegram-agent

What This Skill Does

The create-telegram-agent skill serves as an automated orchestrator for provisioning new autonomous agents linked directly to Telegram. It manages the complex process of defining agent workspaces, directory structures, and secure channel bindings. Instead of manually editing sensitive system files, this skill walks the user through the acquisition of a Telegram bot token, generates the required configuration schemas (Agent Definition, Telegram Binding, and Bot Account credentials), and presents them for explicit user verification before any persistent changes are applied to your openclaw.json file. It ensures that your integration follows OpenClaw's security and architecture standards.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/4t-shirt/create-telegram-agent Ensure you have sufficient permissions to modify your .openclaw/ directory structure before proceeding with the setup.

Use Cases

• Personal Productivity: Create a dedicated task-management agent that receives instructions directly via Telegram messages.
• Content Curation: Setup a news aggregator that pushes summary reports to a specific private Telegram channel or group.
• Home Automation: Connect a home monitoring agent that sends status updates or critical alerts to your phone.
• Support Desk: Deploy a customer-facing bot that manages incoming support queries and routes them to your OpenClaw workflow.

Example Prompts

1. "I want to start a new agent named 'weather-bot'. I have my token ready, let's get it configured."
2. "Create a Telegram agent for me that manages my daily to-do lists, I need to know how to get the bot token first."
3. "Help me setup 'finance-tracker' as a new Telegram agent and update the configuration files accordingly."

Tips & Limitations

• Token Security: Never share your Telegram bot token publicly. If you suspect your token is compromised, regenerate it immediately via @BotFather.
• Agent Naming: Always use unique, kebab-case names to avoid naming collisions in your local registry.
• Confirmation: This skill is designed with a safety-first approach; it will not modify your files without your explicit final confirmation of the generated JSON blocks.
• Persistence: Ensure your system clock is accurate, as invalid time syncs can cause Telegram API authentication errors.
