# extract-tg-exchange — Find and extract a Telegram exchange

## Arguments

The user provides context about a specific Telegram exchange. This context may be vague or specific:
- `/extract-tg-exchange the one where I asked about what gets logged`
- `/extract-tg-exchange message 2212`
- `/extract-tg-exchange the rule 4 exchange`
- `/extract-tg-exchange the one about the vibe physics article`
- `/extract-tg-exchange the first voice message` 
- `/extract-tg-exchange save to output.md` (optionally save to a file)

## Behavior

1. **Read `Telegram_calls.md`** in the project root. This file is an audit log of Telegram reply tool invocations, with entries separated by `---`. Each entry typically contains:
   - Timestamp
   - Mode (audio/text)
   - Chat ID
   - Reply text (Claude's response)
   - Input prior to tool use (raw channel metadata)

2. **Match the user's context** to the correct entry. Use any available signals:
   - Message IDs mentioned in the metadata
   - Keywords in the reply text
   - Timestamps
   - Mode (audio vs text)
   - Content similarity to what the user described

3. **If ambiguous**, present the top candidates and ask the user to pick.

4. **Return all available information** for the matched exchange:
   - The full metadata block (raw channel tag)
   - Claude's reply text
   - Timestamp
   - Mode

5. **If the user requests saving to a file** (via "save to <file>", "put it in <file>", or similar), write the extracted exchange to that file. Use `/new-md` conventions (underscore naming, project root default).

## Output Format

Present the extracted exchange clearly with labeled sections:
- **Timestamp**
- **Mode**
- **Metadata** (the raw channel block)
- **Claude's Reply Text**
