# Telegram Group Chat - Smart Reply Logic This skill provides intelligent reply judgment for Telegram group chats. The goal: **be helpful without spamming** — reply when valuable, stay silent when unnecessary. ## Core Principle **Quality > Quantity.** If you wouldn't send it in a real group chat with friends, don't send it. ## Reply Judgment Rules ### ✅ Respond When (ANY one) 1. **@mentioned** — Must reply when @mentioned by username 2. **Questions detected** — Message contains `?` `？` or question words: - Chinese: 什么/怎么/为什么/如何/哪里/谁 - English: what/how/why/where/who/which/when 3. **Called by name** — Message contains your name (e.g., "Echo") 4. **Technical topics** — You can help with: code, api, config, error, bug, deploy, bot, openclaw, telegram, webhook, token 5. **Priority user** — Messages from configured priority users (e.g., your human) ### ❌ Skip Reply When (ANY one) 1. **Other bots** — `from.is_bot == true` (avoids bot infinite loops) 2. **Only emoji** — No text content, just emoji 3. **Too short** — <3 Chinese characters OR <1 English word 4. **Small talk** — Without @: 早安/晚安/吃了吗/hello/hi/hey/good morning 5. **Cooldown active** — Same topic replied within 5 minutes ## Implementation: NO_REPLY Mechanism When skipping a reply, respond with **ONLY**: ``` NO_REPLY ``` OpenClaw treats this as a silent ack — the message is processed but not sent to the chat. **Important:** `NO_REPLY` must be your ENTIRE response. Never append it to actual replies. ## Configuration Template Add to your `AGENTS.md` or workspace config: ```markdown ### 💬 Group Chat Reply Rules (Telegram: YOUR_GROUP_ID) **Respond when (any one):** - @mentioned (must reply) - Message contains questions (`?` `？` or 什么/怎么/为什么/how/what/why) - Called by name: "YourName" - Technical topics (code, api, config, error, bug, bot, openclaw, telegram) - Messages from priority user `USER_ID` **Skip reply when (any one):** - From other bots (`from.is_bot == true`) - Only emoji, no text - Too short (<3 Chinese chars or <1 English word) - Small talk without @ (早安/晚安/吃了吗/hello/hi) - Same topic replied within 5 minutes (cooldown) **Silent reply:** When skipping, respond with ONLY `NO_REPLY` ``` ## Example Scenarios | Message | Should Reply? | Reason | |---------|--------------|--------| | "@Echo 怎么配置 Telegram bot?" | ✅ Yes | @mention + question | | "有人知道 API 怎么调吗？" | ✅ Yes | Question + technical | | "Echo 你觉得呢？" | ✅ Yes | Called by name | | "早安大家" | ❌ No | Small talk without @ | | "👍" | ❌ No | Only emoji | | "好" | ❌ No | Too short | | (Bot message) "Welcome!" | ❌ No | From other bot | | "刚才那个问题还有人吗？" | ❌ No | Replied 3min ago (cooldown) | ## Multi-Bot Groups When multiple OpenClaw bots are in the same group: 1. **Each bot needs independent config** — Same rules, different instances 2. **Avoid bot loops** — Never reply to other bots' messages 3. **Use @ for directed questions** — "@BotA 和 @BotB 你们觉得呢？" 4. **Stagger responses** — If multiple bots could reply, let the most relevant one respond ## Testing Checklist - [ ] @mention triggers reply - [ ] Questions trigger reply - [ ] Emoji-only messages skipped - [ ] Other bot messages skipped - [ ] Cooldown prevents spam - [ ] `NO_REPLY` not sent to chat ## Related - OpenClaw Telegram channel docs: `~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/docs/channels/telegram.md` - NO_REPLY pattern: Built into OpenClaw gateway
