Tg Message Assistant

Generate topic briefings from Telegram channels. Use this skill when the user mentions "briefing", "newsletter", "digest", "message summary", "channel recap", "generate report", "send briefing", "scheduled push", or "channel roundup". Also applies when users want to compile messages from multiple Telegram channels into structured summaries and deliver them to others.

Gmail Setup

Plugin detection (required on first use):

1. Scan the available tools list for gmail_* prefixed tools.
2. If not found, tell the user:

   "The Gmail plugin is not installed. Please install the Gmail plugin from the telyclaw plugin marketplace, or visit https://github.com/TelyAgent/telyclaw-plugin-gmail for installation instructions. Let me know once it's set up and we'll continue."

3. If tools exist but are unavailable (e.g. expired authorization), proceed to authorization.

Authorization flow:

• On receiving an authorization error, use AskUserQuestion to ask the user for permission.
• Call gmail_authorize — this will open a browser window for Google OAuth.
• Tell the user: "A Google authorization page has been opened in your browser. Please complete the authorization and let me know when you're done."
• Once the user confirms, retry the send.

Send parameters:

• to: recipient email address
• subject: {Channel names} Briefing · {date range}
• text: the full Markdown briefing
• confirm: true (required — the tool will refuse to send without this)
