description	Manage the Telegram bot — read bot token, call Telegram Bot API methods, change bot settings, delete messages, and other bot administration tasks.

Telegram Bot API

Use this skill when managing the Telegram bot itself — changing bot name, description, avatar, deleting messages, setting commands, or any bot administration task not related to sending messages.

Bot Token

Run the helper script to read the bot token securely:

bash ./get-token.sh

Or in TypeScript:

bun ./get-token.ts

Never log, echo, or expose the bot token in any other output.
