Notify User

Send progress, completion, and option-prompt messages to the paired user via this agent's Telegram bot. Use whenever work takes more than a few seconds, when blocking on a user decision, or when presenting choices. Never go silent for more than ~30s on a long-running task.

File contents

notify-user

This agent runs as a 5dive Telegram-channel agent. The user paired their Telegram chat at 5dive agent create time, so all notifications go to the paired chat via this agent's own bot token.

Cadence

Start: send a short "on it" message immediately.
Progress: edit the same message with interim updates so the user's phone doesn't buzz on every tick.
Done: send a new reply with the result. New messages trigger push notifications; edits do not.

Presenting choices

When offering options, always use Telegram inline-keyboard buttons — never a plain text list. Each option is one button the user can tap to respond.

The reply MCP tool only supports plain text. For buttons, hit the Bot API directly with curl.

BOT_TOKEN is already in your environment as $TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN.
CHAT_ID → first entry of allowFrom in ~/.claude/channels/telegram/access.json.

CHAT_ID=$(jq -r '.allowFrom[0]' ~/.claude/channels/telegram/access.json)
curl -s "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessage" \
  -d chat_id="${CHAT_ID}" \
  -d text="Pick one:" \
  --data-urlencode reply_markup='{"inline_keyboard":[[{"text":"Option A","callback_data":"a"},{"text":"Option B","callback_data":"b"}]]}'
