Documentation

README

Excerpt

/telegram:configure — Telegram Channel Setup

Writes the bot token to <state-dir>/.env and orients the user on access policy. The server reads both files at boot.

Resolve the state directory first (it may be overridden for multi-bot or per-project setups):

echo "${TELEGRAM_STATE_DIR:-${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/channels/telegram}"

Use the printed path everywhere below in place of <state-dir>. The default is ~/.claude/channels/telegram.

Arguments passed: $ARGUMENTS

Dispatch on arguments

No args — status and guidance

Read both state files and give the user a complete picture:

Token — check <state-dir>/.env for TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN. Show set/not-set; if set, show first 10 chars masked (123456789:...).

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
