From the first ping to the way it goes quiet when you sit down — here's the full picture, and how the loop actually works.
New to this? Start with how the Telegram integration works — the flow, the setup, and what is safe about it.
A written summary the moment a task finishes — not just a ping.
Your answer goes into the session that is already running.
Attach an image and Claude reads it directly.
Speak and be spoken back to — transcribed on your own machine.
Your Claude limits from the chat, and live in the status bar.
One bot each, so their conversations never mix.
Pick who you are working with at launch. Four ship; write your own.
Read and edit every layer abs puts in front of Claude.
Nothing is committed or pushed without you saying so.
Five phrases, sent from Telegram as a whole message. A session hook acts on them before the model does, so they work even if a message tries to talk it out of them.
Reports mute themselves while you are at the terminal, and resume when you step away.
One message pauses the proactive reports. Inbound keeps working.
Halts the plan at the next step and waits for you.
Cuts Telegram in and out entirely; the session keeps working locally.
Closes the session, confirming first if it is mid-task.
Locks the bot out until you re-pair at the terminal.
Anything bolted
onto a Claude Code session shapes how the model behaves, so none of it is hidden.
abs prompt opens a tabbed page
over every layer — the persona, the wording of each remote command, your
CLAUDE.md, and what Claude remembers. Edit what is yours; reset any of it with one key.
abs, ceo, cto and friend — or write your own.
Persona, hooks, project and global CLAUDE.md, memory, and the locked mechanics.
A persona changes the voice, never the rails — those are appended after it.
No pings while you're working — reports come back the moment you step away. You never flip a switch.
