What This Skill Does

Relay for Telegram provides an intelligent interface for your synced Telegram message history. It functions as a read-only bridge between your private messaging data and the OpenClaw agent. By querying your synced database, the agent can perform advanced natural language tasks such as sentiment analysis, summarization, and retrieval of specific conversation threads without you needing to manually scroll through lengthy chat logs.

Installation

Getting started with Relay for Telegram requires a secure, multi-step verification process to protect your data:

1. Execute the installation command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/relayintel/relay-for-telegram.
2. Initiate the verification process by providing your Telegram phone number when prompted by the skill installer.
3. Complete the Telegram verification code check to generate your unique API key.
4. Configure the environment variable RELAY_API_KEY to link your session to your OpenClaw environment.

Use Cases

• Conversation Retrieval: Quickly find specific details like meeting times or addresses mentioned in DMs or groups.
• Action Item Extraction: Have the agent scan a busy work chat to identify tasks and deadlines assigned to you.
• Contextual Summarization: Generate summaries of long, fragmented chat histories to catch up on project discussions quickly.
• Sentiment & Sentiment Analysis: Identify trends in tone across professional or personal channels.

Example Prompts

1. "What were the key takeaways from the engineering team's chat about the migration project yesterday?"
2. "Did Sarah send me the link for the design document in our DMs last week?"
3. "Summarize the recent discussion in the 'Community Builders' group and list any action items I need to address."

Tips & Limitations

• Syncing Matters: Since the skill operates on a synced database, ensure you have recently synced your chats via the web app if you are expecting messages from the last few minutes.
• Privacy First: This skill is strictly read-only. It cannot send messages or interact with the Telegram network beyond querying existing data. Your data is encrypted at rest, and your 2FA credentials are never stored.
• Control Your Experience: You can toggle automatic agent invocation by setting disable-model-invocation to true if you prefer to trigger the skill manually via slash commands.
