Show HN: Let your Claude Code message you on Telegram when it needs decisions

https://github.com/vibe-with-me-tools/agent-reachout
1•brainsofbots•15h ago
I’ve been running longer AI agent tasks (mostly in Claude Code), and I kept running into the same problem: the agent would finish or get stuck asking a question, and I wouldn’t notice until much later because I wasn’t watching the terminal.

So I built a small tool called Agent Reachout.

It lets an AI agent send me messages on Telegram when: • it finishes a task • it hits a blocker • it needs a human decision to continue

I can reply directly from Telegram, and the agent continues where it left off.

This turned long-running agent work into something asynchronous — I don’t have to babysit the CLI anymore.

What it does • Simple Telegram bot integration • One-way notifications or two-way conversations • Designed for “human-in-the-loop” agent workflows • Works today as a Claude Code plugin

Why I built it Fully autonomous agents sound nice, but in practice I often want: • approvals before destructive actions • clarification on ambiguous decisions • a quick “yes/no” without stopping my day

Telegram was already where I am, so I used that.

What it’s not • Not a general chatbot framework • Not a workflow engine • Just a small bridge between agents and humans

Repo https://github.com/vibe-with-me-tools/agent-reachout

Would love feedback on: • whether others hit this problem • what notification channels would be useful next (Slack, WhatsApp, etc.) • whether this should stay a plugin or evolve into something broader

Thanks!

The problem with current approaches is the lack of feedback loops with independent validators that never lose track of the acceptance criteria. That's the next level that will truly allow no-babysitting implementatons that are feature complete and production grade. Check out this repo that offers that: https://github.com/covibes/zeroshot/
