telegram-reader

Read Telegram channels and groups for financial news and market research using tdl (read-only). Use this skill whenever the user wants to read Telegram channels, export messages from financial Telegram groups, list their Telegram chats, search for news in Telegram channels, or gather market intelligence from Telegram. Triggers include: "check my Telegram", "read Telegram channel", "Telegram news", "what's new in my Telegram channels", "export messages from", "list my Telegram chats", "financial news on Telegram", "crypto Telegram", "market news Telegram", any mention of Telegram in context of reading financial news, crypto signals, or market research. This skill is READ-ONLY — it does NOT support sending messages, joining channels, or any write operations.

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, highly actionable skill body: executable commands, clear multi-step workflow with validation checkpoints and error-recovery guidance, and clean one-level-deep progressive disclosure. Only minor conciseness gains remain from the repeated read-only boundary statements.

Suggestions

Dedupe the read-only boundary: it appears in the frontmatter description, the intro paragraph, and key rule #6 — keep it once in the intro and once as a guardrail rule, removing the redundant restatement.

Consider moving the full install-command table (Step 1) into references/commands.md and keeping only the default Homebrew/curl paths inline, since installation is a one-time concern rather than the core read workflow.

The 'Working with exported JSON' section ends with 'cat /tmp/tdl-export.json'; a one-line jq example for extracting the message/date fields would make post-export parsing as actionable as the export commands.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient with command tables and copy-paste code blocks, but the read-only boundary is restated in the intro and again as key rule #6 (already in the description), and the install/auth sections are somewhat lengthy — minor trimming possible.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands throughout (e.g. 'tdl chat export -c @channel_name -T last -i 20 --all --with-content -o /tmp/tdl-export.json'), with concrete examples covering listing, export by last/time/id, topics, and search.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 6-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints — install probe ('TDL_NOT_INSTALLED'), auth probe ('AUTH_OK'/'AUTH_NEEDED'), and 'check auth first' rule — plus a diagnostics table with retry guidance (e.g. FLOOD_WAIT_X) for error recovery.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

SKILL.md is a concise overview pointing to a single well-signaled one-level-deep reference (references/commands.md, verified present) that holds the bulk command reference, with a dedicated 'Reference Files' section for navigation.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

An exemplary description: concrete actions, comprehensive natural trigger terms, explicit what-and-when guidance, and a sharp read-only boundary that minimizes conflict risk. It uses correct third-person voice throughout and avoids padding.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Read Telegram channels and groups', 'export messages', 'list their Telegram chats', 'search for news', 'gather market intelligence' — giving comprehensive coverage of the read-only financial-research domain.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (read/export/list/search Telegram for financial research via tdl) and 'when' via a clear 'Use this skill whenever...' clause with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural trigger phrases including 'check my Telegram', 'read Telegram channel', 'Telegram news', 'list my Telegram chats', 'crypto Telegram', and 'market news Telegram', covering synonyms and user-natural phrasings.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clearly defined niche (Telegram + financial/market research + read-only), reinforced by an explicit read-only boundary statement that further narrows conflict risk with any write-oriented skills.
