Deployment Tips
Telegram skills work best in containerized environments because they need persistent network connections:\n\n- **Always use a container or remote deployment** for production Telegram bots\n- **Local deployment** works for development and testing\n- **Never expose your bot token** in source code or logs\n\nRegister your bot with BotFather before installing any Telegram skill.
