Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Manage Telegram forum topics and Bot API operations.
Bot must be admin in the group with can_manage_topics permission Get the bot token from OpenClaw config: gateway action=config.get | jq -r '.result.parsed.channels.telegram.botToken'
When creating a topic, follow all of these steps: Create the topic via Telegram Bot API (returns message_thread_id) Set the icon -- pick one that matches the topic's purpose (see Icon Reference) Choose relevant skills -- run openclaw skills list, pick only ready skills that fit the topic's purpose Write a system prompt -- give the agent context for what this topic is about Patch the OpenClaw config -- register the topic with its skills and system prompt
curl -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/createForumTopic" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "chat_id": <GROUP_ID>, "name": "topic name" }' Returns message_thread_id (the topic ID) -- you need this for all subsequent steps.
curl -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/editForumTopic" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "chat_id": <GROUP_ID>, "message_thread_id": <TOPIC_ID>, "name": "topic name", "icon_custom_emoji_id": "<EMOJI_ID>" }'
Patch the config to register the topic with a system prompt: gateway action=config.patch raw='{"channels":{"telegram":{"groups":{"<GROUP_ID>":{"topics":{"<TOPIC_ID>":{"systemPrompt":"Topic-specific instructions"}}}}}}}' Topic configs inherit from the parent group -- only specify overrides. Do NOT add a skills key -- omitting it means all skills are available. Only restrict skills if you have a specific reason to limit the topic's capabilities.
Each topic gets its own isolated OpenClaw session: agent:main:telegram:group:<GROUP_ID>:topic:<TOPIC_ID> Each session has independent conversation history, context window, and compaction.

Archive workflow: rename with [ARCHIVED] prefix, set folder icon, close topic, then handle the OpenClaw session.
Use the archive script: scripts/archive_topic.sh <TOKEN> <GROUP_ID> <TOPIC_ID> "Current Topic Name" This will: Rename to [ARCHIVED] Current Topic Name Set the 📁 folder icon (5357315181649076022) Close the topic (locks it from new messages)
# Export session history to the sessions archive folder openclaw sessions history 'agent:main:telegram:group:<GROUP_ID>:topic:<TOPIC_ID>' > ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/archive/<topic-name>-<date>.md # Delete the session (manual - remove from sessions.json and delete transcript) # Session key: agent:main:telegram:group:<GROUP_ID>:topic:<TOPIC_ID>
Remove the topic from OpenClaw config if it had custom settings: gateway action=config.patch raw='{"channels":{"telegram":{"groups":{"<GROUP_ID>":{"topics":{"<TOPIC_ID>":null}}}}}}'
No getForumTopicInfo method exists. Cannot query topic name by thread ID. Workarounds: Cache names from forum_topic_created events Store mapping in local config Monitor topic creation service messages
