# AFK Claude Telegram Bridge Remote-control Claude Code sessions from your phone via Telegram when AFK (away from keyboard). ## When to Use - "set up telegram bridge" / "configure telegram AFK" - "enable remote control" / "activate AFK mode" - "I want to control Claude from my phone" - Installing this skill on a new machine ## What This Skill Does Installs a complete Telegram ↔ Claude Code bridge that allows you to: 1. **Approve/deny tool calls** from Telegram inline keyboards 2. **Continue tasks** by sending new instructions when Claude finishes 3. **Auto-approve** read-only tools (Read, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch) 4. **Multi-session support** — up to 4 concurrent sessions (S1-S4) 5. **Zero native dependencies** — uses Node.js built-in `node:sqlite` for session state and IPC (no native addons to compile) ## Installation Install via curl (recommended): ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gmotyl/afk-claude-telegram-bridge/main/install.sh | bash ``` Or from a local clone: ```bash git clone https://github.com/gmotyl/afk-claude-telegram-bridge.git cd afk-claude-telegram-bridge npm install && npm run deploy ``` The installer downloads pre-built binaries from GitHub and handles everything: - Copies hook.js, bridge.js, cli.js, hook.sh to `~/.claude/hooks/telegram-bridge/` - Installs `/afk`, `/back`, and `/afk-reset` commands to `~/.claude/commands/` - Registers Stop, Notification, and PreToolUse hooks in `~/.claude/settings.json` - Prompts for your bot token and auto-detects your Telegram group **Restart Claude Code after installation** to load the new commands. ### Prerequisites Before running the installer, create a Telegram bot: 1. Open Telegram -> search **@BotFather** -> send `/newbot` 2. Name it "Claude Bridge" (or your preferred name) 3. Copy the bot token 4. Create a **Telegram Group** with **Topics enabled** 5. Add the bot to the group as **Administrator** 6. Send a message in the group (so the bot can detect it) ## Usage ### Activate AFK Mode In any Claude Code session: ``` /afk ``` You'll see a confirmation on Telegram: "📡 S1 — AFK Activated" ### Deactivate AFK Mode ``` /back ``` ### From Telegram When Claude needs approval for a tool call, you'll see: ``` 🔐 S1 — Permission Request Tool: Bash `npm install express` [✅ Approve] [❌ Deny] ``` When Claude finishes a task: ``` ✅ S1 — Task Complete I've implemented the login form... [🛑 Let it stop] ``` Reply with text to send Claude a new instruction! ### Multi-Session With multiple sessions, prefix instructions: ``` S1: now add unit tests S2: push to remote ``` ## File Structure After installation: ``` ~/.claude/hooks/telegram-bridge/ hook.sh — Bash wrapper (Claude Code calls this) hook.js — Compiled hook entry point (Node.js) bridge.js — Compiled Telegram daemon (Node.js) config.json — Bot token, group ID, settings bridge.db — SQLite database (sessions, events, state) active_count — Marker file for fast bash gate check daemon.log — Daemon log ~/.claude/commands/ afk.md — /afk command back.md — /back command afk-reset.md — /afk-reset command ```
