name	approval-notifier
description	Use when a Codex user asks to set up Telegram approval notifications, or when an external action needs explicit approval before it can proceed.

Approval notifier

Telegram never authorizes an action. Approval must arrive in Codex.

When the user asks to set up Telegram notifications:

1. Find this skill's directory and run its bundled bin/notifier.mjs setup helper with Node.
2. The helper opens a local setup page in the user's browser. Do not ask the user to paste a token into chat or a terminal.
3. The local setup page gives the user a fresh /start code to send in a private chat with the bot.
4. Report only that setup succeeded or the safe error code. Never expose a token, chat ID, or secret value.

Before asking for or waiting on approval for a protected external action, including a plain-chat approval wait while safe work continues:

1. Run bin/notifier.mjs status.
2. If configured, run bin/notifier.mjs send with concise non-secret task, action, impact, rollback, and approval phrase values.
3. If sending fails, say that delivery failed and do not proceed.

Do not notify for ordinary clarification. The helper suppresses an identical notice for 30 minutes.
