Connect the user's own Telegram account (MTProto) so the bridge can fetch files past the 20 MB Bot API cap. Use when a download failed with "file is too big", when the user asks to set up the account fallback, or says "/telegram-unleashed:account".

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Account fallback — files past 20 MB
Telegram caps bot downloads at 20 MB. A logged-in user account has no
such cap. This skill connects the user's own account once; afterwards
download_attachment falls back to it automatically whenever the Bot API
refuses a file.
What the agent does vs. what the user does
The login is interactive — Telegram texts a code to the account and may ask a
2FA password. The agent never runs the login itself; it prepares the
command and the user runs it in their terminal (! <command> in Claude Code).
Setup
- Check Python + Telethon (agent may do this):
python -c "import telethon; print(telethon.__version__)"— if missing:pip install telethon - API credentials (user): https://my.telegram.org → API development
tools → create an app → note
api_idandapi_hash. These identify the application, not the login; they are not secret enough to panic over but belong in the channel.env, not in a repo. - Login (user, in their own terminal):
Telegram sends a code; enter it (and the 2FA password if asked). This writespython <plugin>/scripts/mtproto_login.py <api_id> <api_hash> <phone> ~/.claude/channels/telegram/mtproto~/.claude/channels/telegram/mtproto.session. - Wire it up (agent): add to
~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env:
(Session path without theTELEGRAM_MTPROTO_SESSION=C:/Users/<you>/.claude/channels/telegram/mtproto TELEGRAM_MTPROTO_API_ID=<api_id> TELEGRAM_MTPROTO_API_HASH=<api_hash> TELEGRAM_MTPROTO_PYTHON=<python path, optional — default "python">.sessionextension.) - Restart the bridge (user:
/mcpreconnect or/reload-plugins), then send a >20 MB video and calldownload_attachment— it should land in the inbox via the fallback.
How the fallback matches files
Bot-API file_ids mean nothing to MTProto and the two number messages differently. The helper finds the file by chat + size (+ name) among the last 50 messages of the same chat — exact size match, newest first.
Security notes
- The session file is the account login. It stays in the channel state directory (outside any repo), same protection level as the bot token.
- The fallback only ever downloads from chats the bridge already saw the attachment in — it sends nothing and reads nothing else.
- Revoke anytime: Telegram → Settings → Devices → terminate that session.
