Control and inspect a real local Chromium-family browser through the bro MCP server and WebExtension. Use when Codex needs logged-in browser access, current tab inspection, page text or link extraction, multi-URL background extraction, click/fill/read flows, or browser console and network diagnostics. Do not use for ordinary web lookup when generic web browsing is sufficient.
Use when Codex needs to work with Mimestream mail on this Mac: investigate local mail, search receipts or support threads, identify actual recipients from sent mail, read selected messages, draft or reply in Mimestream, visually verify compose windows, or perform explicit mailbox actions. Prefer Gmail API skills for server-authoritative send/delivery/label/thread state that does not depend on Mimestream.
Use when Codex needs to control or inspect the user's logged-in Helium browser through the locally installed OpenBrowserMCP extension. Trigger for requests about OpenBrowserMCP, Helium tabs, reading current browser tabs, browser MCP, openbrowsermcp, webpage interaction, or testing this local browser stack.
Build and run evidence-based learning workflows. Use when Codex needs to create or continue a study workspace, collect and convert learning materials, design goals, teach from sources, quiz the user, score answers, track progress, maintain an error log, or run spaced review for subjects such as courses, books, technical topics, exams, or career prep.
Use when Codex needs to access Monarch Money through the local mon CLI for auth status, accounts, transactions, custom GraphQL queries, or diagnostics while keeping local tokens private.
Extract text, Markdown, tables, formulas, and structured content from PDFs, scanned documents, screenshots, and images using the best available local or cloud OCR route. Use when Codex needs OCR, PDF text-layer extraction, MinerU local or official API parsing, VLM document parsing, table/formula extraction, scanned PDF handling, or when deciding whether a PDF should be read directly, OCRed, parsed by MinerU, or uploaded to a cloud API.

Use this skill for user goals like:
Do not wait for the user to name tg. tg is the tool; the user goal is local macOS Telegram history access.
Chat data is private. Keep work local by default, avoid printing more message content than the user asked for, and treat exports as sensitive.
For summary requests, choose display names by the target. If the user clearly names a 1-on-1 person, omit --anonymous so the summary uses the user's intended name for that person. If the target is a group chat, a room, a global search, or the target type is unclear, use --anonymous whenever the command supports it to avoid exposing personal contact remarks in assistant-visible output and exported sender names.
~/.tg/all_keys.json and ~/.tg/decrypted/ are sensitive local state. ~/.tg/decrypted/.tg_index.db is a local derived hot index maintained by tg refresh; treat it as sensitive and safe to delete if it needs to be rebuilt.
For a fresh setup, ask the user to open and log in to macOS Telegram first.
If tg needs permission to access the desktop app, have the user quit Telegram and run:
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Telegram.app
If Telegram is installed somewhere else, use that .app path instead.
Then run:
sudo tg keys
tg refresh
tg sessions --top 50
tg "联系人" --limit 50
tg "群名" --limit 50 --anonymous
Install:
brew install xiaotianxt/tap/tg
tg --version
Find a chat:
tg sessions "张三"
tg sessions --top 50
Read a chat:
tg "张三"
tg "张三" --limit 100
tg messages "张三" --limit 100
tg messages "张三" --since today
tg messages "张三" --all-time
tg messages "张三" --search "关键词"
tg messages "张三" --head --limit 20
tg messages "张三" --tail --limit 20
tg messages "产品讨论群" --limit 100 --anonymous
Search globally:
tg search "关键词" --limit 50 --anonymous
tg search "关键词" --since today --anonymous
tg search "关键词" --all-time --anonymous
Use structured lookup when the user wants precise filters, multiple keywords, excluded words, selected output fields, or JSON lines for a local analysis step. This is not a raw SQL interface; pass user intent as filters:
tg query --contains "关键词" --limit 50 --anonymous
tg query --session "张三" --contains "关键词" --fields time,sender,body --limit 20
tg query --session "产品讨论群" --contains "关键词" --fields time,sender,body --limit 20 --anonymous
tg query --contains "项目" --contains "上线" --match-mode all --since today --anonymous
tg query --contains "项目" --not "已取消" --format json --fields timestamp,session,body --anonymous
tg query --contains "项目" --all-time --anonymous
tg schema --db message_0
Use tg schema when the user asks what query can return or filter on. It
shows the public query contract, not raw database table or column names.
Query safety rules:
search, query, and export default to the recent 365-day window; use --all-time only when the user asks for full history.--all-time, query requires at least --contains or --since.--contains / --not values are rejected.--session, --since, and a reasonable --limit when results could be large.--format json for machine parsing.Refresh or diagnose:
tg refresh
tg refresh --keys
tg doctor
tg doctor "张三"
Export:
tg export "张三" --format txt
tg export "张三" --format csv --since 30d --output exported/zhangsan
tg export "张三" --format json --limit 1000 --output exported/zhangsan
tg export "张三" --format json --all-time --output exported/zhangsan
tg export "产品讨论群" --format json --output exported/group --media-dir exported/group/media --anonymous
Export cached images:
tg image "张三" --list --limit 20
tg image "张三" --index 3
tg image "张三" --all --limit 10 --output exported/images
Export cached voice messages:
tg voice "张三" --list --limit 20
tg voice "张三" --id 123
tg voice "张三" --index 3
tg voice "张三" --all --limit 10 --output exported/voices
tg voice "张三" --id 123 --format wav
Time filters support dates, datetimes, and relative values:
--since 2026-04-28
--since "2026-04-28 09:30:00"
--since 5min
--since 1h
--since 1y
--since today
--since yesterday
Date, datetime, and displayed message times use the current system time zone.
