leo channels¶

Per-channel-type bootstrap helpers.

Channel plugins themselves are installed and configured via Claude Code's plugin system (claude plugin install telegram@claude-plugins-official, etc.). These commands cover the small set of bootstrap concerns Leo handles generically — for example, registering the universal slash-command list with each channel's API so native autocomplete menus (Telegram's BotFather-style /-menu, Discord's slash-command picker) include Leo's commands.

leo channels register-commands¶

Register Leo's universal slash commands with a channel's API.

Usage¶

leo channels register-commands <type>

Description¶

Publishes Leo's universal command set — /clear, /compact, /stop, /tasks, /agent, /agents — to the channel's API so users see them in the native autocomplete menu.

The operation is idempotent: re-running replaces the published list (Telegram's setMyCommands is replace-not-merge). Leo fetches the existing command list at each scope first and merges its commands on top, so non-Leo commands registered by the channel plugin are preserved.

Supported channel types¶

Type	Notes
`telegram`	Registers commands at the `default`, `all_private_chats`, and `all_group_chats` scopes.

Telegram bot token resolution¶

Leo looks for TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN in this order:

Environment variable TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
~/.claude/channels/blackpaw-telegram/.env
~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env

The plugin's own .env is the usual source — you rarely need to export the variable yourself.

Example¶

leo channels register-commands telegram

Expected output:

  scope default: 6 commands
  scope all_private_chats: 6 commands
  scope all_group_chats: 6 commands
Registered Leo commands with Telegram (token from /Users/me/.claude/channels/blackpaw-telegram/.env).
