Openclaw Telegram Chat

Enable Telegram cross-instance chat, user mention, and personal bot setup for seamless communication among Openclaw users.

Security Scan

Instruction-only guide for configuring Telegram bots for OpenClaw; its requests and instructions match its stated purpose and it contains no hidden code, installs, or unexplained credential requests.

Purpose & Capability

The skill is an instruction-only guide for Telegram cross-instance chat and bot setup. It requests no binaries, env vars, or installs in the registry metadata and the SKILL.md only advises obtaining a Telegram Bot Token and adding configuration to openclaw.yaml — which is exactly what a Telegram integration guide would need.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md stays within scope: it explains how to create a bot with BotFather, turn off group privacy, add the bot to groups, and place bot_token and allowed_chats in openclaw.yaml. This is reasonable for the stated purpose. Note: it instructs users to share their GitHub ID with an admin during onboarding (a privacy consideration) and to store a sensitive bot token in a config file — the guide does not itself perform any reads/writes or network calls because it is instruction-only.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files are included (instruction-only). This is the lowest-risk install mechanism — nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, which matches the registry metadata. The guide tells users to obtain a Telegram Bot Token (sensitive credential) and place it in openclaw.yaml — this is proportional to providing Telegram integration but warrants caution: the token should be treated as a secret, stored securely (secret manager or env var) and not leaked.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent system presence or modify other skills' configs. It is an advisor document only; however, if a user subsequently configures OpenClaw with a bot token, the running agent/instance could send/receive Telegram messages — that is a property of enabling Telegram integration, not of this skill.

Assessment

This is a documentation-only skill that tells you how to create and configure a Telegram bot for OpenClaw. Before following it: (1) verify the identity/trustworthiness of the admin contact (the guide repeatedly references @YuLin807 / ythx-101); (2) treat the Telegram Bot Token as a secret — prefer putting it in a secrets store or environment variable rather than a plain openclaw.yaml file if possible; (3) give the bot the minimum permissions it needs and limit allowed_chats to the smallest set of chat IDs; (4) be aware the guide asks you to share your GitHub ID during onboarding (privacy consideration); (5) test the bot in a private/test group before adding to broad or public groups; and (6) rotate the token immediately if you suspect it was exposed. The skill itself contains no code or installs and appears coherent with its stated purpose.
