Lets your agent answer in Telegram with a sticker, the way a person reacts to a joke or good news: four default packs made by Telegram out of the box, then packs you list or send the bot in a direct chat; picked by emoji or by meaning, sent as a reply in the current chat and forum topic, paced per chat, with a per-chat off switch the agent cannot undo. Pace and packs can be set in words in your direct chat.

## Good to know before installing

Calls only the Telegram Bot API (api.telegram.org or the configured api_base) with the gateway's TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, read through Hermes' secret scope: getStickerSet for the packs in use (during the first-run setup also from a short background thread, only for a sender Hermes answers, at most 32 at once), sendSticker, and getFile plus one download per sticker for /stickers describe, which the owner starts and which sends each sticker image to the vision model configured in Hermes. A native Telegram handler sees stickers sent to the bot in direct chats (not in groups), skips forwarded ones and keeps pack name, sticker kind and sender id in memory for up to an hour; everyone the bot answers in a direct chat can add packs, up to max_learned_packs in all (default 100, 0 for no limit; learn_packs: false turns learning off). A pre_llm_call hook appends fixed text to the user message of Telegram turns: a sticker hint of about 540 characters, a settings note of about 310 characters when the message mentions stickers, or a setup paragraph during the first-run setup. Writes catalog.json, descriptions.json and state.json under plugin-data/telegram-stickers/ and reads Hermes' sticker_cache.jso

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN`), then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install telegram-stickers
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable telegram-stickers
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
