Create Telegram Group/Channel

Create groups, supergroups, or channels and optionally invite users.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Preflight

1. Session must exist: ~/.local/share/gramjs/<profile>.session
   • If missing, run /tlg:setup first

Usage

/usr/bin/env bash << 'EOF'
SCRIPT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/tlg}/scripts/tg-cli.ts"

# Create supergroup (default)
bun "$SCRIPT" create-group "My Group" --about "Group description"

# Create with initial members
bun "$SCRIPT" create-group "Project Chat" --users @user1 @user2

# Create broadcast channel
bun "$SCRIPT" create-group "Announcements" --type channel --about "Updates"

# Create legacy group (limited to ~200 members)
bun "$SCRIPT" create-group "Small Team" --type group --users @teammate
EOF

Group Types

Type	Members	Messaging	Use Case
group	~200 max	Two-way	Small teams
supergroup	200K max	Two-way + admin tools	Large communities

Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

1. Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
2. Did parameters or output change? — If tg-cli.ts's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
3. Was a workaround needed? — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.

Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
