Telegram Readonly

Use the installed telegram-readonly CLI for Telegram reads from the user's personal account.

This skill exists because Telegram Bot API is the wrong tool for reading a real personal account. Use MTProto via Telethon instead.

Quick rules

• Use this skill only for reads.
• Do not improvise write actions.
• Do not add send/edit/delete logic to the wrapper unless the user explicitly asks.
• Treat the Telethon session like a high-privilege secret.
• Assume unread preservation is best-effort until tested on a real chat.

Installation preference

Prefer an installed CLI over hardcoded script paths.
