notify

name	notify
description	Send the prepared budget messages to Telegram. Reads TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID from .env.local and skips silently if not configured. Use when any skill needs to send notifications after /advise, or when the user asks to send notifications.

Notify

Run the bundled script — it sends result/_advise_msg1.txt and _advise_msg2.txt (written by /advise) as two separate Telegram messages:

node plugins/open-personal-finance/scripts/notify.mjs --household {household} --month {YYYY-MM}

Rules

• Credentials come from {household}/.env.local (TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID). If either is missing, the script skips silently — Telegram is optional.
• Always send when configured; the user always wants the current status.
• /advise already calls this — do not also call it separately in the same run.
• For ad-hoc one-off messages (e.g. a /settle close line or a classification-update follow-up), write the text to a file and send it, or extend the message files before running the script. Keep each message under 4096 characters.
