Enhanced Claude Code Telegram Plugin Adds Voice, Stickers, Threading
A developer has created an enhanced fork of the official Claude Code Telegram plugin, adding several practical features not included in the base release. The fork is open source and available on GitHub.
Key Features Added
- MarkdownV2 formatting: Bold, italic, and code blocks now render correctly in Telegram instead of showing raw characters.
- Voice & audio message support: Users can send voice notes from their phones, and Claude transcribes them using Whisper.
- Sticker & GIF support: Claude can now see stickers and GIFs by converting them to frame collages.
- Conversation threading: In group chats, Claude follows reply chains up to 3 levels deep and responds in the correct thread.
- Inline keyboard buttons: Claude can send tappable choices and wait for user responses.
- Emoji reaction tracking: Users can react with 👍👎🔥 and Claude receives the feedback.
- Reaction status indicators: Uses 👀 when read, 🔥 when working, and 👍 when done.
- Emoji validation: Eliminates cryptic REACTION_INVALID errors.
Setup
The fork is designed as a drop-in replacement for the official plugin. Setup involves cloning the repository, copying one file, and restarting. It works with the existing official plugin infrastructure.
The developer built this enhanced version within hours of the official plugin's release, noting that the original "ships only the basics." They're seeking contributors to help develop the project further.
