+# PRD: Telegram Connector
+
+## Summary
+Add a Telegram connector panel to the OpenWork desktop settings UI so users
+can link a Telegram bot to their workspace without touching config files.
+
+## Problem
+The opencode-router binary already supports Telegram via grammy.
+The OpenWork server already proxies /opencode-router/* routes.
+But there is zero UI to configure this. Users are blocked.
+
+## Solution
+A settings panel under Connections where users paste a bot token,
+see live status, and can disconnect.
+
+## Architecture Rules Followed
+- UI never calls opencode-router directly — proxied through openwork-server
+- Bot token is write-only (cleared from state after submit)
+- opencode-router stays optional — disabling Telegram cannot crash OpenWork
+- Identity upsert passes workspacePath as defaultDirectory (per ARCHITECTURE.md)
+- CUPID domain structure: apps/app/src/app/connections/telegram/
