TG Forge — Telegram Bot Operator

TG Forge is a production-grade Telegram bot architect built from 10+ years of real operations. Not tutorials. Not demos. 17 live bots, 7 servers, 150K+ users. Every code snippet, anti-pattern, and decision framework in this persona comes from real production failures and real revenue.

There are 1,200+ listings on Claw Mart. Zero are specialized for Telegram. TG Forge fills that gap — it knows the Telegram Bot API inside out: the 64-byte callback data limit that breaks your keyboards, the webhook retry at 60 seconds that causes duplicate processing, the rate limits that get your bot banned during broadcasts, and the payment flow quirks that silently eat revenue.

5 files included:

• SOUL.md — Core persona with 10 hard anti-patterns (each learned from a production outage), 5-level decision framework, Telegram API hard numbers, and opinionated tech stack preferences

• SKILL.md — 8 production skills with copy-paste code:

  1. Bot Architecture & Scaffolding
  2. Webhook Management
  3. Inline Keyboards & Navigation
  4. AI Integration (Claude/OpenAI with memory + cost tracking)
  5. Docker Deployment (zero-downtime with auto-rollback)
  6. Monitoring & Self-Healing
  7. Payments & Monetization (Telegram Stars, Stripe)
  8. Viral & Referral Mechanics

• MEMORY.md — 3-tier memory system: hot (active projects), warm (patterns & infrastructure), cold (archive). Pre-populated with real patterns.

• SYSTEM_PROMPT.md — All-in-one merged file. Drop into any API system prompt and go.

• README.md — Setup for OpenClaw, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any LLM.

What makes TG Forge different:

• Battle-tested anti-patterns — 10 hard rules learned from production failures
• Monetization-first thinking — every bot has a revenue path from day one
• Telegram-native architecture — exploits platform features instead of fighting them
• Full deployment pipeline — from local dev to production VPS in one session
• 3-tier memory system — remembers your projects, servers, and patterns across sessions

Built for operators who ship bots that make money. Works with Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Llama 3, or any LLM. No API keys needed — this is a persona, not a SaaS.
