Setup Discord

Set up a Discord bot that connects to a server and routes messages through Claude Code via the Agent SDK.

Setup Flow

Step 1: Install dependencies

cd "$SKILL_DIR/../dispatch-discord" && npm install

Step 2: Create a Discord Application

If the user passed a bot token as $ARGUMENTS, skip to Step 5.

Otherwise, guide the user through the Discord Developer Portal:

Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications
Click "New Application" and give it a name (e.g., "Claude Agent")
Copy the Application ID from the General Information page

Store it:

node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/store-env.js DISCORD_APPLICATION_ID <application-id>

Step 3: Get the Bot Token

Go to the Bot tab (the bot is auto-created with the application)
Click "Reset Token" and copy the token (shown only once)

Step 4: Enable Privileged Intents

On the same Bot tab, scroll to Privileged Gateway Intents and enable:

Message Content Intent (required to read message text)

Step 5: Store the Bot Token

node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/store-env.js DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN <bot-token>

Step 6: Invite the Bot to a Server

Generate and open the invite URL:

node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/generate-invite-url.js

This outputs a URL. Ask the user to open it in their browser, select a server, and authorize.

Step 7: Start the bot

Tell the user to run /dispatch-discord:dispatch to start the bot.

Customization

After setup, the user can customize bot behavior with env vars:

CLAUDE_CWD — Working directory for Claude Code (defaults to project root)
CLAUDE_SYSTEM_PROMPT — Custom system prompt for the bot's Claude instance

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

Bot doesn't respond to messages — Make sure Message Content Intent is enabled in the Bot tab
Bot doesn't receive DMs — This is expected by default; users must share a server with the bot
"Used disallowed intents" error — Enable the required intents in the Developer Portal
