Jaw Telegram Send

Telegram Send

Use this skill when the user asks to deliver output to Telegram. Keep your normal text response in stdout.

Delivery Policy (Bot-First)

• photo/voice/document: send with direct Telegram Bot API first.
• text status notices: you may use local endpoint for convenience.
• If Bot API send fails, you can retry once via local endpoint.

Required Inputs

• Non-text requires file_path.
• Bot API requires chat_id.
• Token is read from ~/.cli-jaw/settings.json.

1) Read token and chat id

TOKEN=$(jq -r '.telegram.token' ~/.cli-jaw/settings.json)
CHAT_ID=$(jq -r '.telegram.allowedChatIds[-1]' ~/.cli-jaw/settings.json)

If CHAT_ID is null (no previous Telegram message), recover via local endpoint:

CHAT_ID=$(curl -sS -X POST http://localhost:3457/api/telegram/send \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type":"text","text":"chat_id check"}' | jq -r '.chat_id')

2) Bot API send by type (Primary)

# photo
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TOKEN}/sendPhoto" \
  -F "chat_id=${CHAT_ID}" \
  -F "photo=@/tmp/chart.png" \
  -F "caption=Analysis chart"

# voice
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TOKEN}/sendVoice" \
  -F "chat_id=${CHAT_ID}" \
  -F "voice=@/tmp/reply.ogg" \
  -F "caption=Voice response"

# document
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TOKEN}/sendDocument" \
  -F "chat_id=${CHAT_ID}" \
  -F "document=@/tmp/report.pdf" \
  -F "caption=Weekly report"

3) Local Endpoint (Secondary)

Primary local endpoint:

POST http://localhost:3457/api/telegram/send

Example (non-text):

curl -sS -X POST http://localhost:3457/api/telegram/send \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type":"photo","file_path":"/tmp/chart.png","caption":"Analysis chart"}'

Quick Verification

curl -sS -X POST http://localhost:3457/api/telegram/send \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type":"text","text":"ping"}'

Safety

• Keep tokens in shell variables only — printing them leaks credentials to logs and chat history.

Expected success shape:

{"ok":true,"chat_id":8231528245,"type":"text"}
