Why it matters
Uses curl directly against the Telegram Bot API instead of OpenClaw's message tool, which silently drops media despite returning success.
Typical use cases
- Sharing a bug report screenshot instantly via Telegram
- Sending screen captures to a Telegram group without leaving the terminal
- Remotely documenting what's on screen during a session
- Quickly sharing UI mockups or error dialogs over Telegram DM
- Automating screen capture delivery as part of a workflow

macOS Screenshot to Telegram
This skill captures the macOS screen and sends it directly via Telegram Bot API.
Workflow
-
Capture screenshot using macOS built-in command:
/usr/sbin/screencapture -x <output-path> -
Copy to workspace (required - OpenClaw has security restriction):
cp <source> <workspace>/screenshot.png -
Send via Telegram Bot API (bypasses buggy message tool):
BOT_TOKEN=$(grep botToken <config-path> | sed 's/.*"botToken": *"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/') curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${BOT_TOKEN}/sendPhoto" \ -F "chat_id=<target-chat-id>" \ -F "photo=@<workspace>/screenshot.png"
Required Parameters
When using this skill, ask the user for:
target-chat-id: The Telegram chat ID to send to (e.g., user's ID for DM)profile: The OpenClaw profile name (e.g., "main", "rescue")
How to Find Paths
- Config file:
~/.openclaw-<profile>/openclaw.json - Workspace:
~/.openclaw/workspace-<profile>/
For example, if your profile is "main", paths would be:
- Config:
~/.openclaw-main/openclaw.json - Workspace:
~/.openclaw/workspace-main/
Notes
- The
messagetool in OpenClaw has a bug (#15541) that returns success but doesn't send media - Always use curl with Telegram Bot API directly for reliable media delivery
- The screenshot must be copied to workspace first due to OpenClaw's allowed directory security restriction
- This skill is profile-agnostic - just pass the correct profile name
