Telegram Bridge Installation Skill
Install the Telegram Bridge extension so the user gets a /telegram slash command for remote interaction via a Telegram bot.
Agent behavior
- Be fast. Combine commands with
&& where possible. Do not add unnecessary pauses or confirmations between steps.
- Copilot CLI blocks
$(...) inside commands. You must run Step 1 first, read its output, then plug the literal paths into later steps.
- Skip steps that are already done (extension already installed). Only do what's needed.
Step 1 -- Discover current state
H="${COPILOT_HOME:-$HOME/.copilot}" && echo "HOME=$H" && find "$H/installed-plugins" "$H/state/installed-plugins" -path "*/copilot-cli-telegram-bridge/extension.mjs" 2>/dev/null && echo "---EXT---" && ls "$H/extensions/copilot-cli-telegram-bridge/extension.mjs" 2>/dev/null
Read the output. Extract:
- COPILOT_HOME: the value printed after
HOME=
- PLUGIN_SRC: the directory containing the found
extension.mjs (strip the /extension.mjs suffix). May be empty if plugin not installed.
- ALREADY_INSTALLED: true if the
ls after ---EXT--- found the extension in the extensions directory
If ALREADY_INSTALLED is true, skip to Step 3 (already set up).
If no PLUGIN_SRC is found (no extension.mjs in installed-plugins), stop and tell the user:
The plugin is not installed yet. Run this first, then restart Copilot CLI and invoke this skill again:
copilot plugin install examon/copilot-cli-telegram-bridge
Step 2 -- Install extension (skip if ALREADY_INSTALLED)
Run this single command (replace COPILOT_HOME and PLUGIN_SRC with literal paths from Step 1):
EXT="COPILOT_HOME/extensions/copilot-cli-telegram-bridge" && mkdir -p "$EXT" && cp "PLUGIN_SRC/extension.mjs" "$EXT/extension.mjs" && chmod 644 "$EXT/extension.mjs" && ls -la "$EXT/extension.mjs" && echo "OK: extension installed"
If the command fails, report the error and stop.
Step 3 -- Done
Tailor the message based on what happened:
If extension was already installed (skipped Step 2):
Telegram Bridge is already installed. Nothing to do.
/telegram setup <name> -- register a bot/telegram connect <name> -- start the bridge/telegram help -- see all commands
If installation was performed:
Telegram Bridge extension installed. Restart Copilot CLI to load it.
After restart:
/telegram setup <name> -- register a bot/telegram connect <name> -- start the bridge/telegram help -- see all commands
