--- name: add-discord description: Add Discord bot channel integration via the Chat SDK. --- # Add Discord Channel Adds Discord bot support via the Chat SDK bridge. ## Install NanoClaw does not include channels in the trunk. This skill copies the Discord adapter from the channels branch. ### Pre-flight (idempotent) Skip to Credentials if all of the following are already in place: - src/channels/discord.ts exists - src/channels/discord-registration.test.ts exists - src/channels/index.ts contains import './discord.js'; - @chat-adapter/discord is listed in package.json dependencies Otherwise, continue. Every step below is safe to re-run. ### 1. Fetch the channels branch ``bash git fetch origin channels ` ### 2. Copy the adapter and its registration test `bash git show origin/channels:src/channels/discord.ts > src/channels/discord.ts git show origin/channels:src/channels/discord-registration.test.ts > src/channels/discord-registration.test.ts ` ### 3. Append the self-registration import Append to src/channels/ index.ts (skip if the line is already present): `typescript import './discord.js'; ` ### 4. Install the adapter package (pinned) `bash pnpm install @chat-adapter/discord@4.27.0 ` ### 5. Build and validate `bash pnpm run build pnpm exec vitest run src/channels/discord-registration.test.ts ` Both must be clean before proceeding. discord-registration. test.ts is the one integration test: it imports the real channel barrel and asserts the registry contains discord . It goes red if the import './discord.js'; line is deleted or drifts, if the barrel fails to evaluate, or if @chat-adapter /discord isn't installed (the import throws) : so it also implicitly verifies the dependency from step 4. The adapter also calls core's createChatSdkBridge(...); that typed core-API consumption is guarded by pnpm run build . ## Credentials ### Create Discord Bot 1. Go to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications) 2. Click **New Application** and give it a name (e.g., "NanoClaw Assistant") 3. From the **General Information** tab, copy the **Application ID** and **Public Key** 4. Go to the **Bot** tab and click **Add Bot** if needed 5. Copy the Bot Token (click **Reset Token** if you need a new one : you can only see it once) 6. Under **Privileged Gateway Intents**, enable **Message Content Intent** 7. Go to **OAuth2** > **URL Generator**: - Scopes: select bot - Bot Permissions: select Send Messages , Read Message History , Add Reactions , Attach Files , Use Slash Commands 8. Copy the generated URL and open it in your browser to invite the bot to your server ### Configure environment All three values are required : the adapter will fail to start without DISCORDPUBLICKEY and DISCORDAPPLICATIONID. Add to .env : bash DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your-bot-token DISCORD_APPLICATION_ID=your-application-id DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY=your-public-key Sync to container: mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env ## Next Steps If you're in the middle of /setup, return to the setup flow now. Otherwise, run /manage-channels to wire this channel to an agent group. ## Channel Info - **type**: discord - **terminology**: Discord has "servers" (also called "guilds") containing "channels." Text channels start with #. The bot can also receive direct messages. - **how-to-find-id**: Enable Developer Mode in Discord (Settings > App Settings > Advanced > Developer Mode). Then right-click a server and select "Copy Server ID" for the guild ID, and right-click the text channel and select "Copy Channel ID." The platform ID format used in registration is discord:{guildId}:{channelId}` : both IDs are required. - supports-threads: yes - typical-use: Interactive chat : server channels or direct messages - default-isolation: Same-agent-group for your personal server. Separate-agent-group for servers with different communities or where different members have different information boundaries.
