What this skill does
Send test or generated images directly to Telegram chats using the message tool with Picsum.photos URLs or custom media. Use when the user requests to 'send photo', 'generate image here in TG', or show/test images in Telegram (e.g., 'пришли фото', 'покажи картинку').
TG Image Sender is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
How to install TG Image Sender
The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:
- Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
- Open the in-app Skills panel.
- Search for
tg-image-senderand click Install. - The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.
Install from the command line
If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add TG Image Sender with a single command:
openclaw skills add tg-image-sender
This pulls tg-image-sender from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/tg-image-sender/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use TG Image Sender
Once installed, TG Image Sender activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.
Turning images into video
TG Image Sender works with images. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — turns stills into motion — pans and transitions, synced captions, and a vertical export for short-form feeds.
It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.
