The problem

Managing Telegram channel content manually via the app or custom scripts is slow and error-prone. Developers often struggle with Telegram specific markdown quirks and strict Bot API file limits when automating their broadcasts.

What it does

• Posts text, images, and videos directly to Telegram channels and groups.
• Automatically handles Telegram specific markdown formatting for bold, italics, and code blocks.
• Schedules messages for future delivery using ISO 8601 timestamps.
• Manages media uploads via presigned URLs for reliability.
• Tracks and updates existing scheduled posts or drafts through a centralized dashboard interface.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Writing a script to handle Telegram's unique markdown flavor (single asterisks) and the 1,024-character caption limit for media is tedious. This skill provides a structured interface that enforces these constraints and handles the authentication handshake automatically.

Use cases

• Automate daily market summaries or product updates to a subscriber base.
• Schedule social media content across multiple Telegram channels simultaneously.
• Push deployment notifications or system alerts from a CI/CD pipeline to a private group.
• Draft and review formatted announcements before they go live.

Known limitations

Videos are capped at 50 MB per Telegram Bot API restrictions. Media captions cannot exceed 1,024 characters, and mixed media (image + video) in a single post is not supported.
