Telegram Photo

When asked to send/show/share a picture in Telegram, emit a photo directive in normal assistant output. The bot strips the directive and sends the image as a Telegram photo.

Use exactly one directive line per image, outside code fences:

<!-- telegram-photo {"path":"<absolute-local-image-path>","caption":"<optional caption>"} -->

Rules:

• Replace <absolute-local-image-path> with an absolute path that the bot container can read.
• The source image may live anywhere on the host, but the bot runs in Docker; before emitting the directive, make sure the image is inside a workspace under the configured playground base directory or another path explicitly mounted into the bot container.
• If the image is outside container-visible paths, copy it into an appropriate workspace-local location first, then use the copied file's absolute path in the directive.
• Do not hardcode machine-specific directories, user names, repository paths, or sample filenames in this skill.
• Supported extensions are .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp, and .gif.
• caption is optional and should be short; omit the caption field when no caption is needed.
• Do not use external Telegram tool calls for this.
• If no usable container-visible image path is known, ask for the path or explain what local file is needed.
