Send files, photos, audio, or videos to the current chat. MUST use whenever you need to deliver any file to the user.

Send File Skill

Send files directly to the current Telegram chat. The

Tips

  • Photos are compressed by Telegram. If quality matters, send as 
    file
    instead.
  • Caption is optional — omit it if not needed.
  • ALMA_CHAT_ID
    is set automatically. You do NOT need to figure out the chat ID.
  • If you want to send to a different chat, use 
    --chat <chatId>
    : 
    alma send photo --chat 12345 /path/to/img.jpg
  • Always verify the file exists before sending.

⚠️ IMPORTANT

When you generate an image, create a file, or produce any output the user should receive as a file:
  1. Generate/create the file
  2. Use 
    alma send
    to deliver it
  3. Mention what you sent in your text reply (but do NOT include the raw file path)
Do NOT just paste file paths in your reply and expect them to be auto-sent. YOU must explicitly send files.
