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: or user:). 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:" format, not channelId. Other actions like react, readMessages, editMessage use channelId directly.

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?
