/telegram:stickers — Sticker Pack Management

Downloads sticker packs from Telegram, converts each sticker to a viewable image, and generates a JSON mapping of sticker file_unique_ids to human-readable descriptions. This lets you recognize stickers in future conversations without re-downloading them.

State

~/.claude/channels/telegram/sticker-packs.json:

    }
  }
}

Dispatch on arguments

No args — list known packs

1. Read ~/.claude/channels/telegram/sticker-packs.json (handle missing).
2. Show each pack name, title, and sticker count.
3. If empty, tell the user to run /telegram:stickers add <pack_name>.

add <pack_name>

This is the main workflow. It downloads every sticker in the pack, converts animated ones to PNG, shows each to you for description, and saves the mapping.

1. Read existing sticker-packs.json (create {} if missing).
2. Use the Telegram Bot API to get the sticker set. Run:

   curl -s "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/getStickerSet?name=<pack_name>"
   

   Read the bot token from ~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env.
3. Parse the response. Extract title and the stickers array.
4. For each sticker in the set: a. Download the file via getFile + the file URL. b. If the file is .webm or .tgs, convert to PNG using: nix-shell -p ffmpeg --run "ffmpeg -i <input> -frames:v 1 -y <output.png>" c. If the file is .webp, it can be read directly. d. Read the resulting image file with the Read tool. e. Write a short description of what the sticker depicts (character, emotion, action — 5-15 words). Include the emoji if present. f. Record: stickers[file_unique_id] = description g. Clean up the downloaded/converted files.
5. Save the updated sticker-packs.json (pretty-printed, 2-space indent).
6. Report: pack title, number of stickers described.

Important: Process stickers in batches of ~5 to avoid overwhelming context. Read 5 images, describe them, then move on.

remove <pack_name>

1. Read sticker-packs.json.
2. Delete the key. Write back.
3. Confirm.

describe <pack_name>

1. Read sticker-packs.json.
2. Show all sticker descriptions for the given pack in a table.

Working directory

Use ~/.claude/channels/telegram/inbox/ as a temp directory for downloaded sticker files. Clean up after processing each batch.
