/discord-bot:configure — Discord Channel Setup

Writes the bot token to the state directory's .env and orients the user on access policy. The server reads both files at boot.

The state directory is ${DISCORD_STATE_DIR:-~/.claude/channels/discord}/ unless the environment variable DISCORD_STATE_DIR is set (check with echo "${DISCORD_STATE_DIR:-}" before touching any file). Every path below is written as ${DISCORD_STATE_DIR:-~/.claude/channels/discord} to mean "that directory". Running several bots on one machine relies on this variable to keep their tokens and allowlists apart.

Arguments passed: $ARGUMENTS

Dispatch on arguments

No args — status and guidance

Read both state files and give the user a complete picture:

1. Token — check ${DISCORD_STATE_DIR:-~/.claude/channels/discord}/.env for DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN. Show set/not-set; if set, show first 6 chars masked.
2. Access — read ${DISCORD_STATE_DIR:-~/.claude/channels/discord}/access.json (missing file = defaults: dmPolicy: "pairing", empty allowlist). Show:
   • DM policy and what it means in one line
   • Allowed senders: count, and list display names or snowflakes
   • Pending pairings: count, with codes and display names if any
   • Guild channels opted in: count
3. What next — end with a concrete next step based on state:
   • No token → "Run /discord-bot:configure <token> with your bot token from the Developer Portal → Bot → Reset Token."
   • Token set, policy is pairing, nobody allowed → "DM your bot on Discord. It replies with a code; approve with /discord-bot:access pair <code>."
   • Token set, someone allowed → "Ready. DM your bot to reach the assistant."

Push toward lockdown. The goal for every setup is allowlist with a defined list. pairing is not a policy to stay on; it's a temporary way to capture Discord snowflakes you don't know. Once the IDs are in, pairing has done its job and should be turned off.

Drive the conversation this way:

1. Read the allowlist. Tell the user who's in it.
2. Ask: "Is that everyone who should reach you through this bot?"
3. If yes and policy is still pairing → "Good. Let's lock it down so nobody else can trigger pairing codes:" and offer to run /discord-bot:access policy allowlist. Do this proactively — don't wait to be asked.
4. If no, people are missing → "Have them DM the bot; you'll approve each with /discord-bot:access pair <code>. Run this skill again once everyone's in and we'll lock it." Or, if they can get snowflakes directly: "Enable Developer Mode in Discord (User Settings → Advanced), right-click them → Copy User ID, then /discord-bot:access allow <id>."
5. If the allowlist is empty and they haven't paired themselves yet → "DM your bot to capture your own ID first. Then we'll add anyone else and lock it down."
6. If policy is already allowlist → confirm this is the locked state. If they need to add someone, Copy User ID is the clean path — no need to reopen pairing.

Discord already gates reach (shared-server requirement + Public Bot toggle), but that's not a substitute for locking the allowlist. Never frame pairing as the correct long-term choice. Don't skip the lockdown offer.

<token> — save it

1. Treat $ARGUMENTS as the token (trim whitespace). Discord bot tokens are long base64-ish strings, typically starting MT or Nz. Generated from Developer Portal → Bot → Reset Token; only shown once.
2. mkdir -p ${DISCORD_STATE_DIR:-~/.claude/channels/discord}
3. Read existing .env if present; update/add the DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN= line, preserve other keys. Write back, no quotes around the value.
4. chmod 600 ${DISCORD_STATE_DIR:-~/.claude/channels/discord}/.env — the token is a credential.
5. Confirm, then show the no-args status so the user sees where they stand.

clear — remove the token

Delete the DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN= line (or the file if that's the only line).

Implementation notes

• The channels dir might not exist if the server hasn't run yet. Missing file = not configured, not an error.
• The server reads .env once at boot. Token changes need a session restart or /reload-plugins. Say so after saving.
• access.json is re-read on every inbound message — policy changes via /discord-bot:access take effect immediately, no restart.
