Telegram Setup

Interactive, one-time setup. Walks the user through connecting their Telegram bot and captures their chat ID into a named contact, set as the default recipient. After this, telegram-notify / telegram-ask work with no flags.

The binary is at <skill-dir>/../telegram-skills-bin/bin/telegram.

Requires the telegram-skills-bin skill. The binary lives in that sibling skill. If <skill-dir>/../telegram-skills-bin/bin/telegram does not exist, tell the user to install it (bunx skills add roziscoding/telegram-skills) instead of failing with a raw error.

Step 1 — get the bot token

Ask the user for their bot token from @BotFather.

If they'd rather not paste it into the chat, tell them to put it in ~/.config/telegram-skills/credentials.json as { "bot_token": "..." } and say when they're done — then run setup with no token argument.

Step 2 — run setup in the BACKGROUND
