Manage Telegram Members

Invite, kick, and list members in groups and channels.

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

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

Usage

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

# Invite users
uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" invite <group> @user1 @user2

# Kick a user
uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" kick <group> @username

# List all members
uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" members <group>

# List admins only
uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" members <group> --admins

# Search members by name
uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" members <group> --search "Terry"
EOF

Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

1. Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
2. Did parameters or output change? — If tg-cli.py's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
3. 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.
