# Forward Telegram Messages
Forward one or multiple messages between chats.
> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
## Preflight
1. Session must exist: `~/.local/share/telethon/<profile>.session`
- If missing, run `/tlg:setup` first
## Usage
```bash
/usr/bin/env bash << 'EOF'
SCRIPT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/tlg}/scripts/tg-cli.py"
# Forward single message
uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" forward <from_chat> <message_id> <to_chat>
# Forward multiple messages (comma-separated IDs)
uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" forward 2124832490 471920,471921 90417581
# Get message IDs first with read command
uv run --python 3.13 "$SCRIPT" read <chat> -n 5
EOF
```
## Workflow
1. Use `read` to find message IDs: `read <chat> -n 10`
2. Forward by ID: `forward <from> <id> <to>`
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| ----------- | ---------- | ------------------------------ |
| from_chat | string/int | Source chat |
| message_ids | string | Message ID(s), comma-separated |
| to_chat | string/int | Destination chat |
## Post-Execution Reflection
After this skill completes, check before closing:
1. **Did the command succeed?** — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
2. **Did parameters or output change?** — If tg-cli.py's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
3. **Was a workaround needed?** — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.
Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.Related Skills
