tgcli-topics

A specialized skill to discover and list Telegram forum topics. Standard

tgcli

is great for flat-chat history, but it does not expose forum-topic listing. This skill bridges the gap by converting the

tgcli

session to a Telethon session and querying the MTProto Client API directly.

Ready-to-run entrypoint

Use the wrapper below as the default command. It bootstraps a local Telethon virtualenv in

~/.tgcli/venv

, installs

telethon

if needed, converts the

tgcli

session to a Telethon

.session

file when missing or stale, and then runs topic discovery.

# List topics for all dialogs (Markdown format)
python3 scripts/tgcli-topics.py --all --markdown

# List topics for specific peers
python3 scripts/tgcli-topics.py --peers 123456789,987654321

# Output as JSON
python3 scripts/tgcli-topics.py --all --json

Helper scripts

```
scripts/tgcli-topics.py
```
is the only entrypoint agents should need.
```
scripts/convert-session.py
```
remains available for forced/manual conversion.
```
scripts/discover-topics.py
```
remains available as the lower-level discovery helper.

Notes

First run may take a moment because the wrapper may create a venv and install
```
telethon
```
.
Topic discovery paginates, so chats with more than 100 topics are handled correctly.
```
--include-flat
```
includes dialogs that do not have forum topics, which is useful for audits.
For topic message reads in bot DMs, use a Telethon client with
```
receive_updates=False
```
. In practice, isolating each bot DM in its own client pass avoids update-decoding issues while reading replies.
