external_plugins/telegram/skills/configure/SKILL.md
Set up the Telegram channel — save the bot token and review access policy. Use when the user pastes a Telegram bot token, asks to configure Telegram, asks "how do I set this up" or "who can reach me," or wants to check channel status.
npx skillsauth add anthropics/claude-plugins-official configureInstall this skill globally with one command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Writes the bot token to ~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env and orients the
user on access policy. The server reads both files at boot.
Arguments passed: $ARGUMENTS
Read both state files and give the user a complete picture:
Token — check ~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env for
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN. Show set/not-set; if set, show first 10 chars masked
(123456789:...).
Access — read ~/.claude/channels/telegram/access.json (missing file
= defaults: dmPolicy: "pairing", empty allowlist). Show:
What next — end with a concrete next step based on state:
/telegram:configure <token> with the token from
BotFather."/telegram:access pair <code>."Push toward lockdown — always. The goal for every setup is allowlist
with a defined list. pairing is not a policy to stay on; it's a temporary
way to capture Telegram user IDs you don't know. Once the IDs are in, pairing
has done its job and should be turned off.
Drive the conversation this way:
pairing → "Good. Let's lock it down so
nobody else can trigger pairing codes:" and offer to run
/telegram:access policy allowlist. Do this proactively — don't wait to
be asked./telegram:access pair <code>. Run this skill again once
everyone's in and we'll lock it."allowlist → confirm this is the locked state.
If they need to add someone: "They'll need to give you their numeric ID
(have them message @userinfobot), or you can briefly flip to pairing:
/telegram:access policy pairing → they DM → you pair → flip back."Never frame pairing as the correct long-term choice. Don't skip the lockdown
offer.
<token> — save it$ARGUMENTS as the token (trim whitespace). BotFather tokens look
like 123456789:AAH... — numeric prefix, colon, long string.mkdir -p ~/.claude/channels/telegram.env if present; update/add the TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN= line,
preserve other keys. Write back, no quotes around the value.chmod 600 ~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env — the token is a credential.clear — remove the tokenDelete the TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN= line (or the file if that's the only line).

or /reload-plugins. Say so after saving.access.json is re-read on every inbound message — policy changes via
/telegram:access take effect immediately, no restart.development
The Claude Security menu — pick a job: scan the codebase (the whole repository or a scoped part of it), scan changes (this branch's or a pull request's diff, or one commit), or suggest patches (findings turned into targeted patch files, each verified by a panel of agents, that you apply when you choose).
development
Generate a personal Claude Code usage & impact report ("receipts") from this machine's local session transcripts — for justifying Claude Code usage/spend to a manager, self-review, or "what have I been using this for" check-ins. Mines ~/.claude/projects locally (no extra API calls beyond one final write-up), cross-references local git history, and writes a markdown report plus a self-contained HTML receipt to your home directory. Use when the user asks for "receipts", an "impact report", "usage report", wants to "show my Claude Code activity", "prove the value of Claude Code", or runs `/receipts`.
tools
Generate and publish a project status artifact — an opinionated, tabbed status page for a project too big for one update (overview & success criteria, the workstream sequence, next steps, plus background, plan, risks & open questions, and decisions/FAQ when they earn a tab) — published with the built-in Artifact tool to a default-private claude.ai page the user can share with teammates. Use when a piece of work spans several workstreams and you want a shareable overview kept current. Each artifact is backed by a small per-project config in the plugin data dir, so refreshing it re-gathers live state, redeploys the same URL, and reports only the delta. For software projects whose workstreams are PRs, also read swe.md (the X.Y PR-numbering convention; pulling PR state with gh/git; a per-PR detail block). Needs the built-in Artifact tool (claude.ai login). Not for single-PR changes or public docs.

Guidance for distinctive, intentional visual design when building new UI or reshaping an existing one. Helps with aesthetic direction, typography, and making choices that don't read as templated defaults.
