Telegram Message Export

Telegram Message Export Skill

Purpose

Extracts a highly contextual range of Telegram messages. It explicitly documents reply relationships to preserve conversation trees and packages text alongside downloaded media files (images, voice notes) into a ZIP file.

Input Resolution

Determine the exact [from_id, to_id] range. If the Manager provided a text snippet, use telegram_search_messages to find the msg_id. If a link is provided (t.me/c/CHAT_ID/MSG_ID), extract the ID.

Phase 1: Contextual Fetching

1. Call telegram_get_history and filter to keep messages where id >= from_id and id <= to_id.
2. Sort the filtered messages strictly by id in ascending order.
3. If the range spans more than 200 messages, use the question tool to ask for confirmation before proceeding to avoid rate limits.

Phase 2: Extraction & Sidecar Generation

1. Create directory: mkdir -p <workspace>/telegram-exports/export-{timestamp}/

2. Set counter n = 1.

3. For each message in the sorted list:

   Text Sidecar ({n}.txt): Create a .txt file for every message. You MUST include reply_to_message_id to preserve thread context.

   Message ID: {message.id}
   From: {sender_name_or_id}
   Date: {date}
   Reply To Message ID: {reply_to_message_id | 'None'}
   Message Type: {type}
   
   [Content]
   {message_text | caption | '[No extractable content]'}
   

   Media Download: If the message contains media, call telegram_get_media_info to get the extension. Then call telegram_download_media(chat_id=..., message_id=..., file_path="<workspace>/telegram-exports/export-{timestamp}/{n}.{ext}").

4. Increment n.

Phase 3: Archiving

Run the bash zip command:

cd <workspace>/telegram-exports && zip -r export-{timestamp}.zip export-{timestamp}/
rm -rf export-{timestamp}/

Phase 4: Notification

Output exactly: "✅ Contextual Telegram export complete. Range: {from_id} to {to_id}. Archive path: /telegram-exports/export-{timestamp}.zip"
