Telegram Bot for Claude Code CLI Control from Mobile
What This Is
A developer has created a free, open-source Telegram bot that provides mobile interface access to Claude Code CLI commands. Built with TypeScript and the grammY framework, the project is MIT licensed and includes 96 unit tests.
Key Features and Functionality
The bot exposes all Claude Code slash commands as Telegram commands, including:
/commit/code_review/simplify- Other Claude Code commands
Additional capabilities:
- Auto-discovers custom skills from
~/.claude/skills/ - Processes photos, documents, and voice notes sent via Telegram
- Sends files created by Claude back to the chat
- Implements message queuing - multiple messages process in order while Claude works
- Auto-detects casual chat vs. code work, using
--bareflag for simple questions (approximately 10x cheaper) - Supports group chats - teams can share one Claude session in a Telegram group
Development Process
The project was built using Claude Code itself with a specific development approach:
- 3 parallel agents working in isolated git worktrees
- Each agent built a non-overlapping slice of the project
- Orchestrated from main branch, then merged and wired together
- 4 review cycles identified and fixed several issues:
- A clearInvocation leak
- A URL double-encoding bug
- 4 instances of duplicated logic extracted into a shared helper (reducing code by 148 lines)
Use Case
This tool is for developers who want to run Claude Code from their phone without needing to open a terminal, enabling code commits, PR reviews, and custom skill execution from mobile devices.
