## Description

Add Discord bot channel integration via Chat SDK.

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

# Add Discord Channel

Adds Discord bot support via the Chat SDK bridge. NanoClaw doesn't ship channels
in trunk, this skill copies the Discord adapter in from the `channels` branch.

The mechanical steps under **Apply** carry `nc:` directive fences: an agent
reads the prose and applies them, and a parser can apply them deterministically
from the same document. Every directive is idempotent, so the whole skill is
safe to re-run; anything a parser can't apply falls back to the prose beside it.

## Apply

### 1. Copy the adapter and its registration test

Fetch the `channels` branch and copy the Discord adapter and its registration
test into `src/channels/` (overwrite, the branch is canonical):

```nc:copy from-branch:channels
src/channels/discord.ts
src/channels/discord-registration.test.ts
```

### 2. Register the adapter

Append the self-registration import to the channel barrel (skipped if the line
is already present). This one line is the skill's only reach-in into core:

```nc:append to:src/channels/index.ts
import './discord.js';
```

### 3. Install the adapter package

Pinned to an exact version, the supply-chain policy rejects ranges and `latest`:

```nc:dep
@chat-adapter/discord@4.41.1
```

### 4. Build and validate

Build first: it guards the typed `createChatSdkBridge(...)` core call and proves
the dependency is installed. Then run the one integration test.

```nc:run effect:build
pnpm run build
```
```nc:run effect:test
pnpm exec vitest run src/channels/discord-registration.test.ts
```

`discord-registration.test.ts` imports the real channel barrel and asserts the
registry contains `discord`. It goes red if the import line is deleted or drifts,
if the barrel fails to evaluate, or if `@chat-adapter/discord` isn't installed
(the import throws), so it also covers the dependency from step 3. End-to-end
delivery against a real server is verified manually once the service runs.
