Add custom /slash shortcuts to the Claude Code Telegram plugin without forking it.
The official Claude Code Telegram plugin ships only /start, /help and
/status. Telegram Claude Shortcuts shows how to add as many more as you
like by registering a chat-scoped command list directly with the Telegram
Bot API — the plugin never touches it, so your shortcuts survive plugin updates.
- Zero plugin changes — unclaimed slashes fall through to Claude as plain text
- Chat-scoped commands win over the plugin’s defaults and persist across restarts
- Shortcuts can even branch on arguments (e.g.
/projects <name>)
