Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/itstauq/telegram-auto-topicWhat This Skill Does
The telegram-auto-topic skill enables seamless organization within Telegram forum-enabled groups by automating topic creation. When a user prefixes a message with "/topic", the OpenClaw agent intercepts the command, analyzes the message content to generate a concise, relevant title, and triggers a script to initialize a new forum thread. The skill effectively manages the lifecycle of this process, ensuring that the original message is quoted within the new topic and a direct navigation link is provided back to the user. It functions natively with text-based messages as well as media attachments, allowing for a frictionless workflow when documenting discussions, planning projects, or managing community inquiries without manual intervention.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/itstauq/telegram-auto-topic
Ensure that your OpenClaw configuration includes the specific Telegram chat ID within the channels.telegram.groups settings. For optimal performance, grant your Telegram bot the "Manage Topics" administrative permission within your group, as this is strictly required to instantiate new threads.
Use Cases
This skill is designed for community managers, project teams, and developers who utilize Telegram for professional coordination. It is highly effective for converting ad-hoc requests into structured tasks, organizing support tickets within a single channel, and maintaining clean discussion threads by ensuring that disparate conversations do not clutter the primary chat feed.
Example Prompts
- "/topic Need to set up a meeting for the Q3 roadmap review tomorrow at 2 PM."
- "/topic [Upload Image] Please review this UI mockup for the landing page dashboard."
- "/topic Research alternative payment gateways for the upcoming subscription update."
Tips & Limitations
- Title Length: The system is most effective when the content provided allows for a 3-7 word summary. While it can handle longer inputs, shorter inputs provide clearer organizational structure in your forum list.
- Permissions: Ensure your bot is granted administrative privileges in the target Telegram group, specifically the ability to create topics. Without these, the execution script will fail to register new forum threads.
- Mention Requirements: By default, the bot listens for mentions. You may set
requireMentiontofalsein your channel configuration if you prefer to trigger the command without calling the bot by name. - Media: This skill handles captioned media, allowing you to move photos and documents into dedicated topics just as easily as text notes.
