name	context
description	Transfer context from the current Claude Code terminal session to the Telegram bot session. Use when the user says "send this to telegram", "transfer context", "telegram:context", "teleport to telegram", or wants the Telegram bot to continue work from this session.

Context Transfer to Telegram Bot

Transfer the current conversation context to the Telegram bot session so it can continue the work.

Process

Step 1: Gather context

Summarize the current conversation into a structured context handoff. Include:

1. What we were working on — the main task/topic
2. Key decisions made — important choices, approaches taken
3. Current state — what's done, what's pending
4. Files changed — any relevant file paths
5. Action items — what the Telegram bot should do next (if any)

Keep it concise — under 2000 characters. The bot has limited context.

Step 2: Write to bot memory

Append the context to the bot's memory file so it persists across restarts:

MEMORY_FILE="$HOME/.claude/channels/telegram/data/memory.md"

Append a new section with timestamp:

## YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM — Context Transfer
**Chat 305120844**: [summary here]

IMPORTANT: Do not overwrite the file — APPEND to it. Read existing content first, then write old + new.

Step 3: Send as Telegram message

Send the context as a direct message to the user's Telegram chat so the bot sees it immediately in the current session:

BOT_TOKEN=$(grep TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN "$HOME/.claude/channels/telegram/.env" 2>/dev/null | cut -d= -f2 | tr -d '"' | tr -d "'")

# If not in .env, check environment
if [ -z "$BOT_TOKEN" ]; then
  BOT_TOKEN="$TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"
fi

CHAT_ID="305120844"

curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessage" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"chat_id\": \"${CHAT_ID}\",
    \"text\": \"📋 *Context transfer from CLI session*\n\n${CONTEXT_TEXT}\",
    \"parse_mode\": \"Markdown\"
  }"

Step 4: Confirm

Tell the user:

Context transferred to Telegram bot:
✓ Written to memory (persists across restarts)
✓ Sent as message (bot sees it now)

Switch to Telegram and continue the conversation there.

Context Format Template

Use this format for the transferred context:

📋 CONTEXT TRANSFER FROM CLI

🔧 Working on: [main task]
📁 Project: [project name/path]

Key context:
- [point 1]
- [point 2]
- [point 3]

Current state: [what's done / what's pending]

Next steps: [what to do next, if any]

Important Notes

• Always ask the user what specific context they want to transfer — don't dump everything
• Keep it under 2000 chars (Telegram message limit considerations)
• Escape special Markdown characters in the curl message
• The bot token is in ~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env as TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
• The user's chat_id is 305120844
• If the user says "teleport everything" — summarize the full conversation
• If the user says "teleport this" — only transfer the most recent topic
