Topics

Topics bind Telegram forum threads to a specific project/branch context. They can also store resume tokens and a default agent per topic.

Enable topics

[transports.telegram.topics]
enabled = true
scope = "auto" # auto | main | projects | all

Your bot needs Manage Topics permission in the group.

If any projects.<alias>.chat_id are configured, topics are managed in those project chats; otherwise topics are managed in the main chat.

Topic commands

Run these inside a topic thread:

Command Description
/topic <project> @branch Create a new topic bound to context
/ctx Show the current binding
/ctx set <project> @branch Update the binding
/ctx clear Remove the binding
/new Clear stored sessions for this topic

In project chats, omit the project: /topic @branch or /ctx set @branch.

Chat sessions

Chat sessions store one resume token per chat (per sender in groups) so new messages can auto-resume without replying.

Enable:

[transports.telegram]
session_mode = "chat" # stateless | chat

Reset the stored session with /new.

State files

  • Topic state: telegram_topics_state.json
  • Chat sessions state: telegram_chat_sessions_state.json
  • Chat defaults (e.g. /agent): telegram_chat_prefs_state.json
