Telegram Watch Dev

When using this skill, follow the repository instructions in AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md. The current workflow is Todoist-backed; historical docs/requests/** files are reference only and must not be used for new work.

Source of truth

• Todoist shared Dev project, filtered by the single telegram-watch label, is the only task state and progress-log source.
• Do not create a standalone telegram-watch Todoist project.
• Do not create or use Bug, 商业化, or other category labels for this project.
• Do not disturb sibling labels such as CodexBar-Mobile or Telegram-Watch-Mac; always filter by telegram-watch.
• docs/inbox.md is only a rough idea pool. Mature work goes to Todoist Backlog.
• docs/requests/**, docs/templates/REQ_TEMPLATE.md, and docs/WORKFLOW.md are historical archives only.

Before coding

1. Search Todoist in the shared Dev project for relevant tasks with the telegram-watch label.
2. If no task exists for a real feature/bug request, create one in Backlog with:
   • content
   • description
   • labels=["telegram-watch"]
   • priority=p1 through p4
   • Release Impact: proposed SemVer bump plus one English changelog sentence
3. Move the task to In Progress before implementation.
4. Work on one Todoist task at a time unless the user explicitly pauses or redirects.

Implementation rules

• Keep changes minimal and scoped to the task.
• Preserve local-first behavior; do not add cloud dependencies unless explicitly approved.
• Never print or commit secrets, phone numbers, api_hash, *.session, config.toml, data/, or reports/.
• Respect Telegram rate limits and handle FloodWait/backoff where relevant.
• For full archive work, keep it default-off and run/read archive-status as the local health gate; use archive-qa-init for the gitignored real Telegram QA record draft before claiming live end-to-end readiness.
• If changing README.md, apply the equivalent change to:
  • docs/README.zh-Hans.md
  • docs/README.zh-Hant.md
  • docs/README.ja.md
• Build order for MVP behavior remains doctor -> once -> run.

Validation

Run focused tests for the changed area. For normal development completion, prefer:

pytest tests/
python -m tgwatch doctor --config config.toml
python -m tgwatch archive-status --config config.toml
python -m tgwatch once --config config.toml --since 10m

If a command cannot be run because local credentials/config are unavailable, say that clearly and run the closest safe offline checks.

Completion workflow

• When code is complete, move the Todoist task to Code Complete and add a short comment with the verification state.
• QA / Release movement requires the user's confirmation after validation.
• Do not mark Todoist tasks complete on your own; the user confirms completion.
• Mirror actionable Todoist comments back in chat because chat is the primary user interface.

Versioning and changelog

• Every Todoist task should include Release Impact.
• On completion of release-impacting work, update pyproject.toml and prepend docs/CHANGELOG.md.
• Patch: backward-compatible fixes/docs.
• Minor: additive features or new config surfaces.
• Major: breaking schema or CLI changes.
• README pip install ...@vX.Y.Z examples change only after the GitHub tag exists.

Commit protocol

When the user asks to commit:

1. Commit with both summary and description:

   git commit -m "SUMMARY" -m "DETAILS"
   

2. Push immediately unless the user says otherwise.
3. Add a Todoist comment with the commit link.
4. Move the task to the appropriate board column.
