List Telegram Dialogs

List all chats, groups, and channels visible to your personal Telegram account.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Preflight

Session must exist: ~/.local/share/telethon/<profile>.session
- If missing, run /tlg:setup first

Usage

/usr/bin/env bash << 'DIALOGS_EOF'
SCRIPT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/tlg}/scripts/tg-cli.py"

# Default profile
uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" dialogs

# Specific profile
uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" -p missterryli dialogs

# Filter results
uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" dialogs | grep -i "search term"
DIALOGS_EOF

Additional Commands

Read Messages

uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" read <chat_id> -n 10

Account Info

uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" whoami

Output Format

Chat Name                                  (id: 1234567890)

Use the id value with send-message skill to send to that chat.

Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
Did parameters or output change? — If tg-cli.py's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
Was a workaround needed? — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.

Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
