  • Group ID: Forward 任何 message 俾 @userinfobot

3. OpenClaw Config

    "botToken": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE",
    "allowFrom": ["YOUR_CHAT_ID"]

macOS Screenshot to Telegram

This skill captures the macOS screen and sends it directly via Telegram Bot API.

Workflow

  1. Capture screenshot using macOS built-in command:

    /usr/sbin/screencapture -x <output-path>
    
  2. Copy to workspace (required - OpenClaw has security restriction):

    cp <source> <workspace>/screenshot.png
    
  3. Send via Telegram Bot API (bypasses buggy message tool):

    BOT_TOKEN=$(grep botToken <config-path> | sed 's/.*"botToken": *"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/')
    curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${BOT_TOKEN}/sendPhoto" \
      -F "chat_id=<target-chat-id>" \
      -F "photo=@<workspace>/screenshot.png"
    

Required Parameters

When using this skill, ask the user for:

  • target-chat-id: The Telegram chat ID to send to (e.g., user's ID for DM)
  • profile: The OpenClaw profile name (e.g., "main", "rescue")

How to Find Paths

  1. Config file: ~/.openclaw-<profile>/openclaw.json
  2. Workspace: ~/.openclaw/workspace-<profile>/

For example, if your profile is "main", paths would be:

  • Config: ~/.openclaw-main/openclaw.json
  • Workspace: ~/.openclaw/workspace-main/

Notes

  • The message tool in OpenClaw has a bug (#15541) that returns success but doesn't send media
  • Always use curl with Telegram Bot API directly for reliable media delivery
  • The screenshot must be copied to workspace first due to OpenClaw's allowed directory security restriction
  • This skill is profile-agnostic - just pass the correct profile name
