# Building Telegram Bots Prevents stale-knowledge failures when writing Telegram bot code. The Bot API updates roughly quarterly and frameworks more often, so training-time knowledge is unreliable — this skill enforces a verification protocol (detect, fetch, confirm) before any bot code is generated. ## Scope **Covered:** python-telegram-bot, aiogram (Python); grammY, Telegraf (Node.js) **Not covered:** Other languages or frameworks; Telegram client API (TDLib); bot deployment and hosting; payment and monetisation APIs ## Verification Protocol Run this protocol before writing any bot code. Do not skip steps. ### Step 1 — Detect the project framework and version Read the project dependency manifest: - Python project: check `pyproject.toml` first, then `requirements.txt` - Node.js project: read `package.json` → `dependencies` and `devDependencies` Identify which framework is present and its pinned or constrained version. If a lock file exists (`package-lock.json`, `poetry.lock`, `uv.lock`), read it for the exact resolved version. See `references/framework-guide.md` → "Detecting Framework Version from Project Files" for manifest patterns. ### Step 2 — Identify the Bot API version the framework targets Map the framework version to its supported Bot API version. See `references/framework-guide.md` → "Framework Fact Sheets" for the current mapping table. **Staleness warning:** If the project uses Telegraf v4.x, issue an explicit warning before proceeding.
