What it does

The Nex Telegram Bot Deploy skill provides a production-grade framework for scaffolding and deploying Telegram bots. It moves beyond simple scripts by implementing a standardized inheritance-based architecture (NexBaseBot) where a new bot is simply a configuration of a persona, command handlers, and an environment-based token.

Key Features

• Standardized Scaffolding: Quickly generate bots with built-in command registration, welcome messages, and persistence.
• AI Intelligence: Optional free-text handler that uses Claude or Qwen to classify user messages into tasks, follow-ups, or questions in a single LLM call.
• Production Deployment: Automated setup for Raspberry Pi or VPS featuring full server hardening (UFW, fail2ban, SSH optimization).
• Resilience: Includes systemd configuration for auto-restarts on crash and clean signal handling for shutdowns.
• Scheduled Jobs: Built-in support for timezone-aware daily briefings and cron-like tasks via JobQueue.

Why use this skill

Manual bot deployment often leads to security vulnerabilities and fragile processes. This skill automates the "boring stuff"—like setting up non-root users, managing virtual environments, and hardening SSH—while providing a clonable base that ensures your bot logic remains clean, modular, and easy to maintain.
