nanoflash: Skill for Claude Code

Add Discord Channel

This skill adds Discord support to NanoClaw, then walks through interactive setup.

Phase 1: Pre-flight

Check if already applied

Check if src/channels/discord.ts exists. If it does, skip to Phase 3 (Setup). The code changes are already in place.

Ask the user

Use AskUserQuestion to collect configuration:

AskUserQuestion: Do you have a Discord bot token, or do you need to create one?

If they have one, collect it now. If not, we'll create one in Phase 3.

Phase 2: Apply Code Changes

Ensure channel remote

git remote -v

If discord is missing, add it:

git remote add discord https://github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw-discord.git

Merge the skill branch

git fetch discord main
git merge discord/main || {
  git checkout --theirs package-lock.json
  git add package-lock.json
  git merge --continue
}

This merges in:

• src/channels/discord.ts (DiscordChannel class with self-registration via registerChannel)
• src/channels/discord.test.ts (unit tests with discord.js mock)
• import './discord.js' appended to the channel barrel file src/channels/index.ts
• discord.js npm dependency in package.json
• DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN in .env.example

If the merge reports conflicts, resolve them by reading the conflicted files and understanding the intent of both sides.

Validate code changes

npm install
npm run build
npx vitest run src/channels/discord.test.ts

All tests must pass (including the new Discord tests) and build must be clean before proceeding.

Phase 3: Setup

Create Discord Bot (if needed)

If the user doesn't have a bot token, tell them:

I need you to create a Discord bot:

1. Go to the Discord Developer Portal
2. Click New Application and give it a name (e.g., "Andy Assistant")
3. Go to the Bot tab on the left sidebar
4. Click Reset Token to generate a new bot token — copy it immediately (you can only see it once)
5. Under Privileged Gateway Intents, enable:
   • Message Content Intent (required to read message text)
   • Server Members Intent (optional, for member display names)
6. Go to OAuth2 > URL Generator:
   • Scopes: select bot
   • Bot Permissions: select Send Messages, Read Message History, View Channels
   • Copy the generated URL and open it in your browser to invite the bot to your server
