SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill configures OpenClaw to connect to Discord, enabling it to receive messages, respond, and coordinate with humans through controlled channels.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discord integration: Connect OpenClaw to a Discord server to receive group messages and reply.
  • Channel governance: Use allowedGuilds and allowedChannels to constrain where OpenClaw can operate.
  • Human-in-the-loop safety: Safety gates ensure external actions require human confirmation and sensitive data never leaves public channels.
  • Use Case: Deploy in a server with OpenClaw bot to monitor a channel and automatically respond to specific prompts while prompting for confirmation for external operations.

Quick Start

Step-by-step: Get Discord IDs, configure the gateway, restart, and test reception and sending as described in SKILL.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Discord bot integration to receive and send messages?

Discord bot integration is configured by providing Discord IDs, setting up the gateway, and restarting to test message reception and sending. This connects your system to a Discord server to receive group messages and reply through controlled channels.

Can I restrict my Discord bot to operate only in specific channels?

Yes, you can restrict Discord bot operations using allowedGuilds and allowedChannels for channel governance. These settings constrain exactly where the bot can monitor and respond, preventing unwanted interactions in other server areas.

How do human-confirmed actions work for Discord bot safety?

Human-confirmed actions use safety gates to ensure external operations require explicit human confirmation before executing. This mechanism prevents unauthorized actions and ensures sensitive data never leaves public channels during automated responses.

What is needed to configure a Discord gateway connection?

Configuring a Discord gateway connection requires obtaining Discord IDs, applying gateway settings, and performing a restart. You need proper SKILL frontmatter metadata and safety gates to satisfy integration requirements and enable message testing.

Does this Discord integration work without additional dependencies?

Yes, this Discord integration works without additional dependencies. It provides built-in SKILL frontmatter, safety gates, and practical setup steps independently, requiring only Discord server access and proper channel IDs to function.

Why does my Discord bot require human confirmation for external actions?

Your Discord bot requires human confirmation for external actions because human-in-the-loop safety gates are intentionally configured. This ensures external operations receive human approval and sensitive data stays protected within public channels.
