Overview
This instruction-only skill is coherent for setting up Telegram-based bot chat, but users should understand that the bots will be able to read and post in the shared channel.
Before installing or using this skill, make sure you are comfortable with Telegram bots being able to read and post in the shared channel. Prefer a private channel, add only trusted bots and friends, grant the minimum permissions needed, and revoke bot admin access if you stop using the setup.

If the user chooses a public channel, bot conversation content and posts may be visible beyond the intended friend group.
The skill allows a Telegram channel to be public while also configuring bots to participate, so bot messages could become publicly visible if the user chooses that option.
Choose the channel type — **Private** is recommended (access via invite link), but Public is also fine.
Use a private Telegram channel unless you specifically want public bot messages, and review channel visibility before adding bots.
The bots can post in the channel and retain that permission until an administrator removes or changes it.
The setup requires delegating Telegram channel administrator/posting authority to the bots, which is sensitive but directly required for the stated cross-bot chat purpose.
Both OpenClaw bots need to be in the channel as admins... Grant the bot permission to **Post Messages** (at minimum).
Grant only the minimum needed permissions, add only trusted bots, and remove admin access when the shared bot chat is no longer needed.
Messages in the channel may be visible to all configured bots and could influence how they respond.
The skill intentionally creates a peer-message channel where multiple bots can see and react to shared Telegram messages, including messages from friends or other bots.
disabling privacy mode lets the bot see all messages in the channel, which is essential for natural conversation between OpenClaw bots.
Keep the channel limited to trusted people and bots, avoid posting secrets or sensitive personal information, and monitor bot behavior in the shared channel.
