Telegram Message Input Skill

Description

Message the user on Telegram for real-time text conversations. Use this when you need input, want to report on completed work, or need to discuss next steps.

When to Use This Skill

Use when:

  • You've completed a significant task and want to report status and ask what's next
  • You need real-time user input for complex decisions
  • A question requires back-and-forth discussion to fully understand
  • You're blocked and need urgent clarification to proceed
  • You want to celebrate a milestone or walk the user through completed work
  • A task will take a long time and the user should be notified when it's done

Do NOT use for:

  • Information the user has already provided
  • Every minor step — batch updates for significant milestones

Example Usage

Simple conversation:

1. initiate_call: "Hey! I finished the auth system. Should I move on to the API endpoints?"
2. User responds: "Yes, go ahead"
3. end_call: "Perfect! I'll start on the API endpoints. Talk soon!"

Multi-turn conversation:

1. initiate_call: "I'm working on payments. Should I use Stripe or PayPal?"
2. User: "Use Stripe"
3. continue_call: "Got it. Do you want the full checkout flow or just a simple button?"
4. User: "Full checkout flow"
5. end_call: "Awesome, I'll build the full Stripe checkout. I'll let you know when it's ready!"

Using speak_to_user for long operations:

1. initiate_call: "Hey! I finished the database migration. What should I work on next?"
2. User: "Can you look up the latest API documentation for Stripe?"
3. speak_to_user: "Sure! Let me search for that. Give me a moment..."
4. [Perform web search and gather information]
5. continue_call: "I found the latest Stripe API docs. They released v2024.1 with new payment methods..."
6. User: "Great, implement that"
7. end_call: "Perfect! I'll implement the new payment methods. Talk soon!"

Best Practices

  1. Be conversational — Talk naturally, like a real conversation
  2. Provide context — Explain what you've done before asking questions
  3. Offer clear options — Make decisions easy with specific choices
  4. Use speak_to_user for acknowledgments — Before time-consuming operations (searches, file reads, etc.), use speak_to_user to acknowledge the request so the user isn't left wondering what's happening
  5. Always end gracefully — Say goodbye and state what you'll do next
