feat: skills as branches, channels as forks
Replace the custom skills engine with standard git operations. Feature skills are now git branches (on upstream or channel forks) applied via `git merge`. Channels are separate fork repos. - Remove skills-engine/ (6,300+ lines), apply/uninstall/rebase scripts - Remove old skill format (add/, modify/, manifest.yaml) from all skills - Remove old CI (skill-drift.yml, skill-pr.yml) - Add merge-forward CI for upstream skill branches - Add fork notification (repository_dispatch to channel forks) - Add marketplace config (.claude/settings.json) - Add /update-skills operational skill - Update /setup and /customize for marketplace plugin install - Add docs/skills-as-branches.md architecture doc Channel forks created: nanoclaw-whatsapp (with 5 skill branches), nanoclaw-telegram, nanoclaw-discord, nanoclaw-slack, nanoclaw-gmail. Upstream retains: skill/ollama-tool, skill/apple-container, skill/compact. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Add Discord Channel
|
||||
|
||||
This skill adds Discord support to NanoClaw using the skills engine for deterministic code changes, then walks through interactive setup.
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 1: Pre-flight
|
||||
|
||||
### Check if already applied
|
||||
|
||||
Read `.nanoclaw/state.yaml`. If `discord` is in `applied_skills`, 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
|
||||
|
||||
Run the skills engine to apply this skill's code package. The package files are in this directory alongside this SKILL.md.
|
||||
|
||||
### Initialize skills system (if needed)
|
||||
|
||||
If `.nanoclaw/` directory doesn't exist yet:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx tsx scripts/apply-skill.ts --init
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or call `initSkillsSystem()` from `skills-engine/migrate.ts`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Apply the skill
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx tsx scripts/apply-skill.ts .claude/skills/add-discord
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This deterministically:
|
||||
- Adds `src/channels/discord.ts` (DiscordChannel class with self-registration via `registerChannel`)
|
||||
- Adds `src/channels/discord.test.ts` (unit tests with discord.js mock)
|
||||
- Appends `import './discord.js'` to the channel barrel file `src/channels/index.ts`
|
||||
- Installs the `discord.js` npm dependency
|
||||
- Records the application in `.nanoclaw/state.yaml`
|
||||
|
||||
If the apply reports merge conflicts, read the intent file:
|
||||
- `modify/src/channels/index.ts.intent.md` — what changed and invariants
|
||||
|
||||
### Validate code changes
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm test
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
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](https://discord.com/developers/applications)
|
||||
> 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
|
||||
|
||||
Wait for the user to provide the token.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configure environment
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `.env`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=<their-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Channels auto-enable when their credentials are present — no extra configuration needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Sync to container environment:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The container reads environment from `data/env/env`, not `.env` directly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Build and restart
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.nanoclaw
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 4: Registration
|
||||
|
||||
### Get Channel ID
|
||||
|
||||
Tell the user:
|
||||
|
||||
> To get the channel ID for registration:
|
||||
>
|
||||
> 1. In Discord, go to **User Settings** > **Advanced** > Enable **Developer Mode**
|
||||
> 2. Right-click the text channel you want the bot to respond in
|
||||
> 3. Click **Copy Channel ID**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> The channel ID will be a long number like `1234567890123456`.
|
||||
|
||||
Wait for the user to provide the channel ID (format: `dc:1234567890123456`).
|
||||
|
||||
### Register the channel
|
||||
|
||||
Use the IPC register flow or register directly. The channel ID, name, and folder name are needed.
|
||||
|
||||
For a main channel (responds to all messages):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
registerGroup("dc:<channel-id>", {
|
||||
name: "<server-name> #<channel-name>",
|
||||
folder: "discord_main",
|
||||
trigger: `@${ASSISTANT_NAME}`,
|
||||
added_at: new Date().toISOString(),
|
||||
requiresTrigger: false,
|
||||
isMain: true,
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For additional channels (trigger-only):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
registerGroup("dc:<channel-id>", {
|
||||
name: "<server-name> #<channel-name>",
|
||||
folder: "discord_<channel-name>",
|
||||
trigger: `@${ASSISTANT_NAME}`,
|
||||
added_at: new Date().toISOString(),
|
||||
requiresTrigger: true,
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 5: Verify
|
||||
|
||||
### Test the connection
|
||||
|
||||
Tell the user:
|
||||
|
||||
> Send a message in your registered Discord channel:
|
||||
> - For main channel: Any message works
|
||||
> - For non-main: @mention the bot in Discord
|
||||
>
|
||||
> The bot should respond within a few seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
### Check logs if needed
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tail -f logs/nanoclaw.log
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Bot not responding
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` is set in `.env` AND synced to `data/env/env`
|
||||
2. Check channel is registered: `sqlite3 store/messages.db "SELECT * FROM registered_groups WHERE jid LIKE 'dc:%'"`
|
||||
3. For non-main channels: message must include trigger pattern (@mention the bot)
|
||||
4. Service is running: `launchctl list | grep nanoclaw`
|
||||
5. Verify the bot has been invited to the server (check OAuth2 URL was used)
|
||||
|
||||
### Bot only responds to @mentions
|
||||
|
||||
This is the default behavior for non-main channels (`requiresTrigger: true`). To change:
|
||||
- Update the registered group's `requiresTrigger` to `false`
|
||||
- Or register the channel as the main channel
|
||||
|
||||
### Message Content Intent not enabled
|
||||
|
||||
If the bot connects but can't read messages, ensure:
|
||||
1. Go to [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications)
|
||||
2. Select your application > **Bot** tab
|
||||
3. Under **Privileged Gateway Intents**, enable **Message Content Intent**
|
||||
4. Restart NanoClaw
|
||||
|
||||
### Getting Channel ID
|
||||
|
||||
If you can't copy the channel ID:
|
||||
- Ensure **Developer Mode** is enabled: User Settings > Advanced > Developer Mode
|
||||
- Right-click the channel name in the server sidebar > Copy Channel ID
|
||||
|
||||
## After Setup
|
||||
|
||||
The Discord bot supports:
|
||||
- Text messages in registered channels
|
||||
- Attachment descriptions (images, videos, files shown as placeholders)
|
||||
- Reply context (shows who the user is replying to)
|
||||
- @mention translation (Discord `<@botId>` → NanoClaw trigger format)
|
||||
- Message splitting for responses over 2000 characters
|
||||
- Typing indicators while the agent processes
