telegram

name	telegram
description	telegram-specific inline directives you embed in your response text to react, reply-to, or control streaming. NOT a CLI tool - these are magic strings that get parsed out of your telegram response.

telegram directives

how it works: embed these directives anywhere in your response text. they get parsed out and executed - the user won't see the directive syntax, just the result.

these are NOT CLI commands. you literally type [[react: 👍]] in your response and it becomes a reaction.

reactions

react to a message without sending a reply text:

[[react: 👍]]

that's it - just the directive, nothing else. user sees a 👍 reaction on their message.

common reactions: 👍 👎 ❤️ 🔥 😂 😢 🤔 👀

use when:

• acknowledging something that doesn't need a reply
• quick yes/no
• showing you understood

reply to specific message

reply threading - your message appears as a reply to theirs:

[[reply_to_current]] yeah i see what you mean

or reply to a specific message by id:

[[reply_to: 12345]] responding to that earlier point...

stream control

control how your response appears as you generate it:

[[stream: edit]] starting to work on this...

modes:

• edit - update the same message as you type (default)
• send - send chunks as separate messages
• off - wait until complete, then send once

silent responses

handled something that doesn't need user notification:

NO_REPLY

combine with react for silent acknowledgment:

[[react: 👍]] NO_REPLY
