Aster can answer from your Telegram account, so the agent in your repository is reachable from your phone.
  • ASTER_TELEGRAM_TOKEN (or --token): the bot token from @BotFather.
  • ASTER_REMOTE_USERS (or --user, repeatable): Telegram user ids allowed to talk. Anything else is ignored.
  • --mode manual asks before every edit and command; auto applies the permission rules without prompting.
Transport is long-polling against Telegram. No public URL, no port, no tunnel; the machine running aster remote telegram only makes outbound requests. Approval prompts arrive as inline buttons, and long output is sent back as documents instead of flooding the chat.

​
Notes

  • One bot token serves one poller. Two processes polling the same token split updates randomly.
  • The remote session uses the same aster.yaml, keys, and permission rules as the terminal on that machine.
