## Description

Set up the Discord channel, save the bot token and review access policy. Use when the user pastes a Discord bot token, asks to configure Discord, asks "how do I set this up" or "who can reach me," or wants to check channel status.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# /discord:configure, Discord Channel Setup

Writes the bot token to `~/.claude/channels/discord/.env` and orients the
user on access policy. The server reads both files at boot.

Arguments passed: `$ARGUMENTS`

## Dispatch on arguments

### No args, status and guidance

Read both state files and give the user a complete picture:

1. **Token**, check `~/.claude/channels/discord/.env` for
   `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`. Show set/not-set; if set, show first 6 chars masked.

2. **Access**, read `~/.claude/channels/discord/access.json` (missing file
   = defaults: `dmPolicy: "pairing"`, empty allowlist). Show:
   - DM policy and what it means in one line
   - Allowed senders: count, and list display names or snowflakes
   - Pending pairings: count, with codes and display names if any
   - Guild channels opted in: count

3. **What next**, end with a concrete next step based on state:
   - No token → *"Run `/discord:configure <token>` with your bot token from
     the Developer Portal → Bot → Reset Token."*
   - Token set, policy is pairing, nobody allowed → *"DM your bot on
     Discord. It replies with a code; approve with `/discord:access pair
     <code>`."*
   - Token set, someone allowed → *"Ready. DM your bot to reach the
     assistant."*

**Push toward lockdown, always.** The goal for every setup is `allowlist`
with a defined list. `pairing` is not a policy to stay on; it's a temporary
way to capture Discord snowflakes you don't know. Once the IDs are in,
pairing has done its job and should be turned off.
