Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned vood/claude-code-skills at 5154fc434d.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The telegram-checker skill allows an AI agent to check a Telegram chat or channel for new messages. It can be configured with specific chat IDs and will report any unread messages. This is useful for monitoring Telegram activity and responding to events within those chats.

When to use it

  • Monitoring a support channel: Automatically check a Telegram support channel for new requests and alert the agent when action is needed.
  • Tracking news or announcements: Monitor a Telegram channel for updates related to a specific topic, such as product releases or breaking news.
  • Responding to commands: Trigger actions within an application based on messages received in a designated Telegram chat.
  • Automated notifications: Receive alerts about important events happening inside a Telegram group.

Key capabilities

  • Checks specified Telegram chats/channels for new messages.
  • Configurable chat IDs.
  • Reports unread messages.

Example prompts

  • "Check Telegram channel 'MyChannel' for new messages."
  • "What are the latest updates in Telegram group 'SupportGroup'?"
  • “Monitor Telegram chat with ID 1234567890 and notify me of any new messages.”

Tips & gotchas

  • You will need to provide valid Telegram chat IDs for the skill to function correctly. Ensure you have proper permissions to access the specified chats/channels.
