Skilark — Telegram Bot

Getting Started

Open @MySkilarkBot on Telegram and tap Start.

Onboarding walks you through a 30-second setup:

Tap Let's go to create a new account, or I have an existing account to link an existing CLI account.
Pick your current role (e.g. Backend Engineer, Data Engineer, Full-Stack).
Pick your primary language (e.g. Python, Java, Go).
Pick your career direction — stay sharp, transition to a new role, or level up.
Choose your daily schedule: Morning (9am), Lunch (12pm), or Evening (7pm) — times are UTC.

Your first challenge is sent immediately after setup completes.

Get another challenge right now without waiting for the daily push.

`/signals [all]`

Top 5 market signals for the week — company hiring surges and salary outliers. Use /signals all for the full list.

`/fit <query>`

Semantic job search against current listings. Example:

/fit senior backend engineer Python

Or send a PDF resume directly (no command needed) for skill gap analysis. Max 5MB.

`/profile`

View your current profile (role, language, career direction) and tap inline buttons to update any field.

`/feedback`

Send feedback directly from Telegram. The bot asks for your message, then submits it.

`/status`

View your streak, weekly count, all-time completions, and top topics.

`/link [CODE]`

Cross-channel account linking. Without a code: generates a 6-character code (expires in 10 minutes). With a code: redeems it to link your Telegram and CLI accounts.

Answering Challenges

Just type your answer as a plain text message — no command prefix needed. The bot replies with whether you're correct and an explanation.

If you answer incorrectly, you get two self-assessment buttons:

Yeah, I knew that — marks as correct via self-correction
Nope, learned something new — records it as a learning moment

Daily Schedule

Challenges arrive automatically at your chosen time. To change your schedule, run /start again and select a new time slot. Schedule times are UTC.
