Send, read, and respond to Telegram messages through a Claudicle Telegram bot. This skill is the thin Claude-facing layer over the python-telegram-bot v22 polling adapter at ~/.claudicle/adapters/telegram/. Send scripts use REST directly (via requests), not asyncio, so they work reliably inside any subprocess or skill invocation.

Portability

This skill is machine-agnostic. It depends only on:

The Claudicle adapter directory at ~/.claudicle/adapters/telegram/ (set up by the Claudicle framework / the claude-code-minoan distribution).
A Telegram bot token in ~/.config/env/secrets.env.
Python 3.9+ for the REST-based send/status/callback scripts; Python 3.10+ for the listener.
