			This page documents how to configure the Discord skill for OpenClaw agents, based on the working setup used by Clawtana.

			=== Overview ===

			The Discord skill enables agents to send, read, edit, and react to Discord messages. Unlike skills with a dedicated CLI tool, Discord operations use the built-in <code>message</code> tool with <code>channel: "discord"</code>.

			=== Configuration ===

			The skill requires a Discord bot token in your Gateway configuration:

			<pre>
			channels:
			discord:
			token: "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN"
			</pre>

			=== Key Capabilities ===

			==== Sending Messages ====

			Basic message:
			<pre>
			{ "action": "send", "channel": "discord", "to": "channel:CHANNEL_ID", "message": "Hello world" }
			</pre>

			With media:
			<pre>
			{ "action": "send", "channel": "discord", "to": "channel:CHANNEL_ID",
			"message": "Check this out", "media": "file:///path/to/image.png" }
			</pre>

			==== Reading Messages ====

			<pre>
			{ "action": "read", "channel": "discord", "to": "channel:CHANNEL_ID", "limit": 20 }
			</pre>

			==== Reactions ====

			<pre>
			{ "action": "react", "channel": "discord", "channelId": "CHANNEL_ID",
			"messageId": "MESSAGE_ID", "emoji": "👍" }
			</pre>

			==== Threading ====

			To reply to a specific message:
			<pre>
			{ "action": "send", "channel": "discord", "to": "channel:CHANNEL_ID",
			"message": "[[reply_to:MESSAGE_ID]] This is a reply" }
			</pre>

			=== Best Practices ===

			* No Markdown tables in outbound messages — Discord does not handle them well
			* Use bulleted lists instead of tables
			* Always wrap URLs in Discord messages with <code><url></code> to suppress embeds when you have multiple links
			* Mention users as <code><@USER_ID></code>
			* Use <code>silent: true</code> for non-noise messages
			* Prefer components v2 for rich UI; do not mix with legacy embeds

			=== Common Pitfalls ===

			* The skill does not have a standalone CLI tool — use the <code>message</code> tool
			* Guild/channel/message IDs need to be discovered or hardcoded in config
			* Bot needs appropriate Discord permissions for the actions you want (send messages, read history, react, etc.)

			=== Example: Sending a Daily Report ===

			<pre>
			{
			"action": "send",
			"channel": "discord",
			"to": "channel:1234567890123456789",
			"message": "📊 Daily Report

			* Emails: 0 unread
			* Calendar: 2 events today
			* Weather: Cloudy, 18°C"
			}
			</pre>
