| 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. |
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.
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:
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...
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 messagesoff - wait until complete, then send oncehandled something that doesn't need user notification:
NO_REPLY
combine with react for silent acknowledgment:
[[react: 👍]] NO_REPLY
telegram supports: bold, italic, code, code blocks, links, strikethrough
