Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by TryCaspian on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Caspian Connect Telegram AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/TryCaspian/caspian-sdk/tree/main/packages/opencode/src/skills/caspian-connect-telegram
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/TryCaspian/caspian-sdk.git /tmp/caspian-sdk
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/caspian-sdk/packages/opencode/src/skills/caspian-connect-telegram .claude/skills/caspian-connect-telegram

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Caspian Connect Telegram in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Caspian Connect Telegram on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Caspian Connect Telegram is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Caspian connect Telegram

Connect a Telegram bot to Caspian and enable telegram in the plugin admit list (channels in ~/.config/opencode/caspian.json). Without telegram in channels, Telegram events are rejected at admit (blast-radius wall).

When to use

User asks to connect Telegram / BotFather / Telegram bot
User runs /caspian:connect-telegram or /caspian-connect-telegram

Prerequisites (token)

Bot token must exist in one of (prefer file over chat):

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN in the environment
Project .env → TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=...
~/.config/opencode/caspian.env → TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=...

Do not store the token in caspian.json. Prefer not pasting the token into chat.

How

Call caspian_connections to see if Telegram is already linked and whether telegram is already in plugin channels.
Call caspian_connect_telegram.
If the tool asks for a token, instruct the user to create a bot with @BotFather, write TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=... into .env or caspian.env, then re-run the command. Do not invent a token.
On success, present connection id / channels. If RESTART REQUIRED, say:

Restart OpenCode (quit and relaunch) so admit loads "channels": ["email", "telegram"] (or your updated list). Until then, Telegram messages are still rejected.
After restart, Telegram inbound should flow into OpenCode like email.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Caspian Connect Telegram AI skill do?

Connect Caspian Telegram for OpenCode, enable telegram in caspian.json channels, and tell the user to restart. Use when linking a Telegram bot or running /caspian:connect-telegram.

Why use Caspian Connect Telegram on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Caspian Connect Telegram is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Caspian Connect Telegram in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/TryCaspian/caspian-sdk/tree/main/packages/opencode/src/skills/caspian-connect-telegram. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Caspian Connect Telegram?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Caspian Connect Telegram?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Caspian Connect Telegram with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Caspian Connect Telegram AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by TryCaspian under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
