What it does
You ask Claude to check a channel, search by name, or pull recent messages from a date range. Claude uses a command-line tool to list chats and export the messages. You get back a readable summary of the news or discussion - nothing is sent or joined on your behalf.
Who it’s for
A good fit for people who research markets, competitors or topics and investors and people researching markets.
Do you need to code?
Some. To get the most from this one you may need to be comfortable with code, the command line or technical setup.
How to install
Add it as a skill, or as part of its plugin. This skill also ships inside a plugin, so you can upload just this skill to Claude, or install the whole plugin it comes in. See the step-by-step guide.
Safety note
Requires installing a command-line tool (tdl) and connecting it to your Telegram account; read-only, cannot send messages or join/leave channels.
As with any add-on, only install skills from sources you trust, and read what it does first.
