Purpose
Provide a clean, production-oriented guide for building Telegram bot workflows via the Bot API, focusing on command UX, update handling, and safe operations using plain HTTPS.
Best fit
- You want a command-first bot that behaves professionally.
- You need a reliable update flow (webhook or polling).
- You prefer direct HTTP calls instead of libraries.
Not a fit
- You require a full SDK or framework integration.
- You need complex media uploads and streaming in-process.
Quick orientation
- Read
references/telegram-bot-api.mdfor endpoints, update types, and request patterns. - Read
references/telegram-commands-playbook.mdfor command UX and messaging style. - Read
references/telegram-update-routing.mdfor update normalization and routing rules. - Read
references/telegram-request-templates.mdfor HTTP payload templates. - Keep this SKILL.md short and use references for details.
Required inputs
- Bot token and base API URL.
- Update strategy: webhook or long polling.
- Command list and conversation tone.
- Allowed update types and rate-limit posture.
Expected output
- A clear command design, update flow plan, and operational checklist.
Operational notes
- Prefer strict command routing:
/start,/help,/settings,/status. - Always validate incoming update payloads and chat context.
- Handle 429s with backoff and avoid message bursts.
Security notes
- Never log tokens.
- Use webhooks with a secret token header when possible.
