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:

Generate/create the file
Use
```
alma send
```
to deliver it
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.
