Connect a Telegram bot to the Vellum Assistant gateway with automated webhook registration and credential storage.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
You are helping your user connect a Telegram bot. The wizard collects the token, the rest of setup runs automatically, and you confirm it worked. DO NOT use this skill for runtime Telegram operations (sending, replying, reading). That is the separate messaging skill. ## Supported chats Telegram works in private chats and in groups and supergroups. In a private chat the assistant answers every message. In a group it answers only a message that addresses it: an @mention of the bot's username, a command such as `/summary@botname`, or a reply to one of its posts. Every other group message is dropped on purpose and never reaches the assistant; the gateway log records each drop with the reason `bot_not_mentioned`. Broadcast channels are not supported. Telegram's privacy mode (on by default) already delivers only mentions, replies, and commands to a bot. The assistant applies the same rule itself, so promoting the bot to admin or turning privacy mode off does not make it answer unaddressed messages. …

How to install
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/telegram-setup@sha256:039af550ec9525e1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.a0ab2f9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
