# /chat — instant Telegram chat lookup Anton's pain: "find chat X" used to mean 20–60 min crawling the live dialog list. The chat's `telegram_id` + link already live in `chats.db` (built from the CRM `tg_entities` dump — the same extraction the CRM's mtproto-api does). Look it up, get the id, then operate the chat directly via the Telegram MCP. ## Rule (always) When you need to act on "some chat by name", FIRST query the local index — never crawl the live dialog list blind. Memory: [[telegram-chat-index]]. ## Lookup — `find_chat.py` ``` cd $IMPORTS_ROOT/dialogs PYTHONUTF8=1 python find_chat.py <query words> # chats first, then people PYTHONUTF8=1 python find_chat.py <query> --all # include user DMs PYTHONUTF8=1 python find_chat.py <query> --limit 80 ``` Prints `[TYPE] telegram_id name t.me-link (+members)`. Matching reuses `..\namesearch\name_norm.py` so wrong-layout (`dbrnjh`) / translit / typos still hit. ⚠️ ALWAYS `PYTHONUTF8=1` (else cp1252 crash). The `???` in console = ASCII echo only; the DB stores proper UTF-8 — read it programmatically when you need the real title. ## "Common groups with a person / company" — `common_groups.py` ``` PYTHONUTF8=1 python common_groups.py @handle [--account corp_acct] PYTHONUTF8=1 python common_groups.py "Firstname Lastname" PYTHONUTF8=1 python common_groups.py <telegram_id> ``` Lists groups where one of OUR accounts sits alongside that person (ours/theirs + which account + link).
