2. 搵 Telegram Chat ID

• 個人 ID: 搵 @userinfobot 或者 forward message 俾 @userinfobot
• Group ID: Forward 任何 message 俾 @userinfobot

3. OpenClaw Config

響你既 OpenClaw profile config 度加入：

{

macOS Screenshot to Telegram

This skill captures the macOS screen and sends it directly via Telegram Bot API.

Workflow

1. Capture screenshot using macOS built-in command:

   /usr/sbin/screencapture -x <output-path>
   

2. Copy to workspace (required - OpenClaw has security restriction):

   cp <source> <workspace>/screenshot.png
   

3. Send via Telegram Bot API (bypasses buggy message tool):

   BOT_TOKEN=$(grep botToken <config-path> | sed 's/.*"botToken": *"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/')
   curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${BOT_TOKEN}/sendPhoto" \
     -F "chat_id=<target-chat-id>" \
     -F "photo=@<workspace>/screenshot.png"
   

Required Parameters

When using this skill, ask the user for:

• target-chat-id: The Telegram chat ID to send to (e.g., user's ID for DM)
• profile: The OpenClaw profile name (e.g., "main", "rescue")

How to Find Paths

1. Config file: ~/.openclaw-<profile>/openclaw.json
2. Workspace: ~/.openclaw/workspace-<profile>/

For example, if your profile is "main", paths would be:

• Config: ~/.openclaw-main/openclaw.json
• Workspace: ~/.openclaw/workspace-main/

Notes

• The message tool in OpenClaw has a bug (#15541) that returns success but doesn't send media
• Always use curl with Telegram Bot API directly for reliable media delivery
• The screenshot must be copied to workspace first due to OpenClaw's allowed directory security restriction
• This skill is profile-agnostic - just pass the correct profile name
