Telegram Direct Send

Send images to Telegram via direct Bot API using curl. Works around OpenClaw's broken image delivery pipeline (issue

This skill appears to do what it says (use curl to call Telegram Bot API), but the package metadata does not declare the environment variables the instructions require. Before installing: (1) treat TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN as a secret — prefer creating a dedicated bot with minimal scope and use a throwaway chat for testing; (2) do not blindly add auto-source lines to your ~/.bashrc unless you understand the security implications (sourcing a .env from a writable skill folder can be abused); (3) verify the skill's source/author (no homepage or repo is provided here); (4) if you proceed, keep the bot token out of version control, and revoke the token immediately if you suspect misuse. The metadata mismatch is the main red flag — ask the publisher to update the registry to declare required env variables (TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID) so the permission model is transparent.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: telegram-direct-send Version: 1.0.0 The telegram-direct-send skill is a utility designed to send images to Telegram via the official Bot API using curl, serving as a workaround for a reported platform bug. The skill's instructions in SKILL.md and skill.md guide the user or agent to configure environment variables and optionally update shell configuration files (~/.bashrc) for convenience. All behaviors, including network access to api.telegram.org and local file access for images and configuration, are transparently documented and strictly aligned with the stated purpose.
