Telegram Bot Ops

Use this skill when the real question is whether a Telegram bot is receiving updates, processing them in the intended runtime, and sending visible responses to the right chat, user, or forum topic.

Public Safety

• Default to read-only diagnostics.
• Do not print tokens, .env values, connection strings, raw logs, private DMs, payment payloads, session files, or full user records.
• Use placeholders in notes and examples: <TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN>, <TELEGRAM_USER_ID>, <CHAT_ID>, <TOPIC_ID>, <WEBHOOK_URL>.
• Do not send Telegram messages, restart production services, change webhooks, edit BotFather settings, or deploy until the user has authorized that exact action.
• If any real secret appears in the repo, logs, or prompt, stop and tell the user it must be rotated before public release.
