discord-bot-cli

Agent + CLI that gives an agent Discord access via a bot.

What you get

• An agent-first CLI cited from teken (afi-cli) — the runtime package has no third-party dependencies.
• A mesh identity — culture.yaml (suffix + backend) and the matching prompt file (CLAUDE.md for backend: claude).
• The canonical guildmaster skill kit (11 skills) under .claude/skills/, vendored cite-don't-import. See docs/skill-sources.md.
• A build + deploy baseline — pytest, lint, the agent-first rubric gate, and PyPI Trusted Publishing wired into GitHub Actions.

Quickstart

uv sync
uv run pytest -n auto                 # run the test suite
uv run discord-bot-cli whoami  # identity from culture.yaml
uv run discord-bot-cli learn   # self-teaching prompt (add --json)
uv run teken cli doctor . --strict    # the agent-first rubric gate CI runs

CLI

Introspection verbs

Verb	What it does
whoami	Report this agent's nick, version, backend, and model from culture.yaml.
learn	Print a structured self-teaching prompt.
explain <path>	Markdown docs for any noun/verb path.
overview	Read-only descriptive snapshot of the agent.
doctor	Check the agent-identity invariants (prompt-file-present, backend-consistency).
cli overview	Describe the CLI surface itself.

Every command supports --json. Results go to stdout, errors/diagnostics to stderr (never mixed). Exit codes: 0 success, 1 user error, 2 environment error, 3+ reserved.

Discord verbs

Give an agent Discord access through a bot. These need a bot token and the optional discord extra (which pulls in discord.py):

uv pip install 'discord-bot-cli[discord]'   # or: pip install 'discord-bot-cli[discord]'
export DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=...                 # read from the env, never a flag

Verb	What it does
channel list <guild_id>	List a guild's channels.
channel messages <channel_id> [--limit N]	Read the last N messages (1–100, default 20).
message post <channel_id> <content>	Post a message; returns its id.
message reply <channel_id> <message_id> <content>	Reply to a message.
message react <channel_id> <message_id> <emoji>	Add a reaction.
thread create <channel_id> --name <name> [--message <id>]	Create a thread (anchored or standalone).
thread post <thread_id> <content>	Post a message into a thread.
user get <user_id>	Look up a user's public profile.

Each verb is one-shot: it connects, performs one action, and exits (no daemon, no gateway subscription). post/reply/thread create return the created id in --json so output composes into the next call. A missing token or the absent extra exits 2 with a hint; bad ids exit 1.

# discover, read, write, compose
discord channel list 1234567890 --json
discord channel messages 1234567890 --limit 50 --json
MSG=$(discord message post 1234567890 "hello" --json | python3 -c 'import sys,json;print(json.load(sys.stdin)["id"])')
discord message react 1234567890 "$MSG" 👍

The runtime package itself stays dependency-free — discord.py is imported lazily inside the verb handlers, so a plain install never pulls it in.

Make it your own

1. Rename the package discord_bot_cli/ and the discord-bot-cli CLI/dist name throughout pyproject.toml, the package, tests/, sonar-project.properties, and this README.md. The name is hard-coded in ~100 places, so list every occurrence first — see the git grep discovery command in CLAUDE.md, the authoritative rename procedure.
2. Edit culture.yaml with your suffix and backend.
3. Rewrite CLAUDE.md for your agent and run /init.
4. Re-vendor only the skills you need from guildmaster (see docs/skill-sources.md).

See CLAUDE.md for the full conventions (version-bump-every-PR, the cicd PR lane, deploy setup).
