# Discord Actions

## Overview

Use `discord` to manage messages, reactions, threads, polls, and moderation. You can disable groups via `discord.actions.*` (defaults to enabled, except roles/moderation). The tool uses the bot token configured for Clawdbot.

## Inputs to collect

- For reactions: `channelId`, `messageId`, and an `emoji`. - For stickers/polls/sendMessage: a `to` target (`channel:<id>` or `user:<id>`). Optional `content` text. - Polls also need a `question` plus 2–10 `answers`. - For media: `mediaUrl` with `file:///path` for local files or `https://...` for remote. - For emoji uploads: `guildId`, `name`, `mediaUrl`, optional `roleIds` (limit 256KB, PNG/JPG/GIF). - For sticker uploads: `guildId`, `name`, `description`, `tags`, `mediaUrl` (limit 512KB, PNG/APNG/Lottie JSON).

Message context lines include `discord message id` and `channel` fields you can reuse directly.

**Note:** `sendMessage` uses `to: "channel:<id>"` format, not `channelId`. Other actions like `react`, `readMessages`, `editMessage` use `channelId` directly.

## Actions

### React to a message

```json { "action": "react", "channelId": "123", "messageId": "456", "emoji": "✅" } ```

### List reactions + users

```json { "action": "reactions", "channelId": "123", "messageId": "456", "limit": 100 } ```

### Send a sticker

```json { "action": "sticker", "to": "channel:123", "stickerIds": ["9876543210"], "content": "Nice work!" } ```

- Up to 3 sticker IDs per message. - `to` can be `user:<id>` for DMs.

### Upload a custom emoji

```json { "action": "emojiUpload", "guildId": "999", "name": "party_blob", "mediaUrl": "file:///tmp/party.png", "roleIds": ["222"] } ```

- Emoji images must be PNG/JPG/GIF and <= 256KB. - `roleIds` is optional; omit to make the emoji available to everyone.

### Upload a sticker

```json { "action": "stickerUpload", "guildId": "999", "name": "clawdbot_wave", "description": "Clawdbot waving hello", "tags": "👋", "mediaUrl": "file:///tmp/wave.png" } ```

- Stickers require `name`, `description`, and `tags`. - Uploads must be PNG/APNG/Lottie JSON and <= 512KB.

### Create a poll

```json { "action": "poll", "to": "channel:123", "question": "Lunch?", "answers": ["Pizza", "Sushi", "Salad"], "allowMultiselect": false, "durationHours": 24, "content": "Vote now" } ```

- `durationHours` defaults to 24; max 32 days (768 hours).

### Check bot permissions for a channel

```json { "action": "permissions", "channelId": "123" } ```

## Ideas to try

- React with ✅/⚠️ to mark status updates. - Post a quick poll for release decisions or meeting times. - Send celebratory stickers after successful deploys. - Upload new emojis/stickers for release moments. - Run weekly “priority check” polls in team channels. - DM stickers as acknowledgements when a user’s request is completed.

## Action gating

Use `discord.actions.*` to disable action groups: - `reactions` (react + reactions list + emojiList) - `stickers`, `polls`, `permissions`, `messages`, `threads`, `pins`, `search` - `emojiUploads`, `stickerUploads` - `memberInfo`, `roleInfo`, `channelInfo`, `voiceStatus`, `events` - `roles` (role add/remove, default `false`) - `moderation` (timeout/kick/ban, default `false`) ### Read recent messages

```json { "action": "readMessages", "channelId": "123", "limit": 20 } ```

### Send/edit/delete a message

```json { "action": "sendMessage", "to": "channel:123", "content": "Hello from Clawdbot" } ```

**With media attachment:**

```json { "action": "sendMessage", "to": "channel:123", "content": "Check out this audio!", "mediaUrl": "file:///tmp/audio.mp3" } ```

- `to` uses format `channel:<id>` or `user:<id>` for DMs (not `channelId`!) - `mediaUrl` supports local files (`file:///path/to/file`) and remote URLs (`https://...`) - Optional `replyTo` with a message ID to reply to a specific message

```json { "action": "editMessage", "channelId": "123", "messageId": "456", "content": "Fixed typo" } ```

```json { "action": "deleteMessage", "channelId": "123", "messageId": "456" } ```

### Threads

```json { "action": "threadCreate", "channelId": "123", "name": "Bug triage", "messageId": "456" } ```

```json { "action": "threadList", "guildId": "999" } ```

```json { "action": "threadReply", "channelId": "777", "content": "Replying in thread" } ```

## Discord Writing Style Guide

**Keep it conversational!** Discord is a chat platform, not documentation.

### Do - Short, punchy messages (1-3 sentences ideal) - Multiple quick replies > one wall of text - Use emoji for tone/emphasis 🦞 - Lowercase casual style is fine - Break up info into digestible chunks - Match the energy of the conversation

### Don't - No markdown tables (Discord renders them as ugly raw `| text |`) - No `## Headers` for casual chat (use **bold** or CAPS for emphasis) - Avoid multi-paragraph essays - Don't over-explain simple things - Skip the "I'd be happy to help!" fluff

### Formatting that works - **bold** for emphasis - `code` for technical terms - Lists for multiple items - > quotes for referencing - Wrap multiple links in `<>` to suppress embeds

### Example transformations

❌ Bad: ``` I'd be happy to help with that! Here's a comprehensive overview of the versioning strategies available:

## Semantic Versioning Semver uses MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format where...

## Calendar Versioning CalVer uses date-based versions like... ```

✅ Good: ``` versioning options: semver (1.2.3), calver (2026.01.04), or yolo (`latest` forever). what fits your release cadence? ```
