Telegram Bot Setup

1. Create the bot

• Open Telegram and search @BotFather.
• Send /newbot.
• Give it a name (e.g. My StudentSync) and a username that ends in bot (e.g. ayush_studentsync_bot).
• BotFather replies with an HTTP API token. Copy it.

2. Configure StudentSync

studentsync onboard --telegram

Paste the token when prompted. It's written to ~/.env:

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=1234567890:ABC-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

3. Start the daemon

pm2 restart student-daemon

4. Verify

• Open your bot's chat (the username you picked).
• Send /start.
• Scuba responds with the onboarding wizard for first-time users.

# paste into BotFather's /setcommands
start        - show welcome + onboarding
solve        - solve an assignment from text, pdf or image
submit       - upload & turn in the last artifact
resume       - tailor your resume for a job
status       - what scuba is currently working on

Multi-user mode

By default the bot only responds to the Telegram user ID who onboarded it. To allow more users (e.g. classmates), add their numeric IDs to scholar.json:

{
  "telegram": {
    "allowedUserIds": [123456789, 987654321]
  }
}
