+## Telegram
+
+**Best for:** Broadcast channels — news, niche expertise, deals, crypto, education, entertainment — and markets where Telegram is a primary platform (among large channels, Russian, English and Persian lead)
+**Audience:** Channel subscribers; each post arrives in their chat list like a message
+**Posting frequency:** 1-2 posts per day for most channels; reach per post falls as frequency rises
+**Best times:** Barely matters (see below)
+
+**How reach works** (benchmarks from TGScope's studies of public channels; the contributor runs TGScope):
+- There is no ranking feed. Every post goes to every subscriber's chat list in order, and nothing is boosted or buried. Discovery happens outside the channel: links and paid posts in other channels, forwards, Telegram search, "similar channels" suggestions, and Telegram Ads
+- The public metric is the view counter under each post. Reactions and comments are optional per channel, so track views ÷ subscribers ("reach")
+- Typical reach for active channels: 8.3% of subscribers at 10K-20K, 6.4% at 50K-100K, 5.8% at 300K-1M, 4.0% above 1M. At every size a tenth of channels reach more than a quarter of subscribers and another tenth about 1% or less ([source](https://tgscope.io/rnd/telegram-channel-reach))
+- Views keep arriving for days: about 15% of a post's views come in the first hour, 50% in 24 hours, 67% in 72 hours. Judge a post after a week, not after an hour
+- Posting hour barely changes the total: in Russian- and Ukrainian-language channels, posts published between 9:00 and 21:00 ended within 1% of each other after a week
+- Reach per post falls as frequency rises: median 16.6% for channels posting less than every other day, 10.7% at 0.5-1 posts a day, 6.9% at 1-2, 5.1% at 2-4, about 4.5% above 4 ([source](https://tgscope.io/rnd/posting-frequency-reach-decay))
+- Ads cost reach: among channels with 10K-100K subscribers, ad-heavy channels are seen by 3.9% of subscribers per post, ad-free ones by 9.0%
+
+**What works:**
+- One clear topic and a predictable format
+- Fewer, stronger posts
+- Cross-promotion and paid posts in channels of similar size and topic (the main growth lever without a recommendation feed)
+- A pinned post that tells new subscribers what the channel is
+
+**What doesn't:**
+- Several ads a day
+- Judging a post in its first hours
+- Treating subscriber count as audience
+
+**Format tips:**
+- The first line is the headline: it is what shows in the chat list preview
+- Compare topics on their own baselines: war and news channels reach the most (9-14% median), shopping, deals and betting channels the least (3-4%)

+Upstream mvanhorn/last30days-skill 13a6cc5 (#217), 14 fixes.
+- The engine footer is a fenced `text` block. Relay it with the fence so Markdown keeps its `---` lines.
+- `--search` sources you name are kept. `--as-of` end dates are honored by YouTube, arXiv, Bluesky, and dev.to.
+- Reddit, GitHub person mode, Digg, and Hacker News comment order fixes. xAI default model follows upstream.

 Engine resync to upstream mvanhorn/last30days-skill 3.28.0 at 50998cd (MIT). Our engine was an older snapshot than the 5103ba4 pin, so this brings in everything up to 3.28.0, not only the 87 commits in #179.

For GENERAL / NEWS / PROMPTING / RECOMMENDATIONS the next line is the literal label `What I learned:` — not a custom title, not a `#` heading.

-- **LAW 5 — Pass the engine footer through verbatim.** The `✅ All agents reported back!` emoji-tree block (bounded by `<!-- PASS-THROUGH FOOTER -->` comments) goes into your output unchanged, after KEY PATTERNS and before the invitation. Do not recompute or reformat its stats.

Do not recompute or reformat its stats.
 - **LAW 6 — Do not dump raw evidence.** The `## Ranked Evidence Clusters` / `## Stats` blocks (inside `<!-- EVIDENCE FOR SYNTHESIS -->` comments) are input for YOU to read, not output. Transform them into prose. If your response contains `### 1.` followed by a `(score N, ...)` tuple, you dumped evidence - regenerate.
 - **LAW 7 — YOU are the planner. `--plan` is mandatory on named-entity topics.** You are the reasoning model; you write the JSON query plan and pass it via `--plan <file>`. You do NOT need an API key to plan - if the engine warns "no LLM provider configured," that is a reminder you skipped your own planning step, not a capability limit. Bare `last30days.py "$TOPIC"` on a named entity is a violation.
 - **LAW 8 — Cite readably.** On Claude Code (env `CLAUDECODE` set), inline-link every citation as `[label](url)` using URLs from the raw dump. On visible-URL hosts (Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI), use plain labels (`per @handle`, `per r/sub`) and let the footer carry URLs. Never a raw URL string, never a broken `[label]()`.
