Configure RCS Notifications

Unified and only entry point for notification setup.

• Native integrations (first-class): Discord, Telegram, Slack
• Generic extensibility integrations: custom_webhook_command, custom_cli_command

Standalone configure skills (configure-discord, configure-telegram, configure-slack, configure-openclaw) are removed.

Step 1: Inspect Current State

CONFIG_FILE="$HOME/.codex/.rcs-config.json"

if [ -f "$CONFIG_FILE" ]; then
  jq -r '
    {
      notifications_enabled: (.notifications.enabled // false),
      discord: (.notifications.discord.enabled // false),
      discord_bot: (.notifications["discord-bot"].enabled // false),
      telegram: (.notifications.telegram.enabled // false),
      slack: (.notifications.slack.enabled // false),
      openclaw: (.notifications.openclaw.enabled // false),
      custom_webhook_command: (.notifications.custom_webhook_command.enabled // false),
      custom_cli_command: (.notifications.custom_cli_command.enabled // false),
      verbosity: (.notifications.verbosity // "session"),
      idleCooldownSeconds: (.notifications.idleCooldownSeconds // 60),
      reply_enabled: (.notifications.reply.enabled // false)
    }
  ' "$CONFIG_FILE"
else
  echo "NO_CONFIG_FILE"
fi

Step 2: Main Menu

Use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "What would you like to configure?"

Options:

1. Discord (native) - webhook or bot
2. Telegram (native) - bot token + chat id
3. Slack (native) - incoming webhook
4. Generic webhook command - custom_webhook_command
5. Generic CLI command - custom_cli_command
6. Cross-cutting settings - verbosity, idle cooldown, profiles, reply listener
7. Disable all notifications - set notifications.enabled = false

Step 3: Configure Native Platforms (Discord / Telegram / Slack)

Collect and validate platform-specific values, then write directly under native keys:

• Discord webhook: notifications.discord
• Discord bot: notifications["discord-bot"]
• Telegram: notifications.telegram
• Slack: notifications.slack

Do not write these as generic command/webhook aliases.

Step 4: Configure Generic Extensibility

4a) custom_webhook_command

Use AskUserQuestion to collect:

• URL
• Optional headers
• Optional method (POST default, or PUT)
• Optional event list (session-end, ask-user-question, session-start, session-idle, stop)
• Optional instruction template

Write:

jq \
  --arg url "$URL" \
  --arg method "${METHOD:-POST}" \
  --arg instruction "${INSTRUCTION:-RCS event {{event}} for {{projectPath}}}" \
  '.notifications = (.notifications // {enabled: true}) |
   .notifications.enabled = true |
   .notifications.custom_webhook_command = {
     enabled: true,
     url: $url,
     method: $method,
     instruction: $instruction,
     events: ["session-end", "ask-user-question"]
   }' "$CONFIG_FILE" > "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" && mv "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" "$CONFIG_FILE"

4b) custom_cli_command

Use AskUserQuestion to collect:

• Command template (supports {{event}}, {{instruction}}, {{sessionId}}, {{projectPath}})
• Optional event list
• Optional instruction template

Write:

jq \
  --arg command "$COMMAND_TEMPLATE" \
  --arg instruction "${INSTRUCTION:-RCS event {{event}} for {{projectPath}}}" \
  '.notifications = (.notifications // {enabled: true}) |
   .notifications.enabled = true |
   .notifications.custom_cli_command = {
     enabled: true,
     command: $command,
     instruction: $instruction,
     events: ["session-end", "ask-user-question"]
   }' "$CONFIG_FILE" > "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" && mv "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" "$CONFIG_FILE"

Activation gate: OpenClaw-backed dispatch is active only when RCS_OPENCLAW=1. For command gateways, also require RCS_OPENCLAW_COMMAND=1. Optional timeout env override: RCS_OPENCLAW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT_MS (ms).

4b-1) OpenClaw + Clawdbot Agent Workflow (recommended for dev)

If the user explicitly asks to route hook notifications through clawdbot agent turns (not direct message/webhook forwarding), use a command gateway that invokes clawdbot agent and delivers back to Discord.

Notes:

• Hook name mapping is intentional: notifications session-stop -> OpenClaw hook stop.
• RCS shell-escapes template substitutions for command gateways (including {{instruction}}).
• Keep instruction templates concise and avoid untrusted shell metacharacters.
• During troubleshooting, avoid swallowing command output; route it to a log file.
• Timeout precedence: gateways.<name>.timeout > RCS_OPENCLAW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT_MS > 5000.
• For clawdbot agent workflows, set gateways.<name>.timeout to 120000 (recommended).
• For dev operations, enforce Korean output in all hook instructions.
• Include both session={{sessionId}} and tmux={{tmuxSession}} in hook text for traceability.
• If follow-up is needed, explicitly instruct clawdbot to consult SOUL.md and continue in #omc-dev.
• Error handling: Append || true to prevent RCS hook failures from blocking the session.
• JSONL logging: Use .jsonl extension and append (>>) for structured log aggregation.
• Reply target format: Use --reply-to 'channel:CHANNEL_ID' for reliability (preferred over channel aliases).

Example (targeting #omc-dev with production-tested settings):

jq \
  --arg command "(clawdbot agent --session-id rcs-hooks --message {{instruction}} --thinking minimal --deliver --reply-channel discord --reply-to 'channel:1468539002985644084' --timeout 120 --json >>/tmp/rcs-openclaw-agent.jsonl 2>&1 || true)" \
  '.notifications = (.notifications // {enabled: true}) |
   .notifications.enabled = true |
   .notifications.verbosity = "verbose" |
   .notifications.events = (.notifications.events // {}) |
   .notifications.events["session-start"] = {enabled: true} |
   .notifications.events["session-idle"] = {enabled: true} |
   .notifications.events["ask-user-question"] = {enabled: true} |
   .notifications.events["session-stop"] = {enabled: true} |
   .notifications.events["session-end"] = {enabled: true} |
   .notifications.openclaw = (.notifications.openclaw // {}) |
   .notifications.openclaw.enabled = true |
   .notifications.openclaw.gateways = (.notifications.openclaw.gateways // {}) |
   .notifications.openclaw.gateways["local"] = {
     type: "command",
     command: $command,
     timeout: 120000
   } |
   .notifications.openclaw.hooks = (.notifications.openclaw.hooks // {}) |
   .notifications.openclaw.hooks["session-start"] = {
     enabled: true,
     gateway: "local",
     instruction: "RCS hook=session-start project={{projectName}} session={{sessionId}} tmux={{tmuxSession}}. 한국어로 상태를 공유하고 SOUL.md를 참고해 필요한 후속 조치를 #omc-dev에 안내하세요."
   } |
   .notifications.openclaw.hooks["session-idle"] = {
     enabled: true,
     gateway: "local",
     instruction: "RCS hook=session-idle project={{projectName}} session={{sessionId}} tmux={{tmuxSession}}. 한국어로 idle 상황을 간단히 공유하고 진행중인 작업 팔로업을 안내하세요."
   } |
   .notifications.openclaw.hooks["ask-user-question"] = {
     enabled: true,
     gateway: "local",
     instruction: "RCS hook=ask-user-question session={{sessionId}} tmux={{tmuxSession}} question={{question}}. 한국어로 사용자 응답 필요를 #omc-dev에 알리고 즉시 액션 아이템을 제시하세요."
   } |
   .notifications.openclaw.hooks["stop"] = {
     enabled: true,
     gateway: "local",
     instruction: "RCS hook=session-stop project={{projectName}} session={{sessionId}} tmux={{tmuxSession}}. 한국어로 중단 상태와 정리 액션을 SOUL.md 기준으로 전달하세요."
   } |
   .notifications.openclaw.hooks["session-end"] = {
     enabled: true,
     gateway: "local",
     instruction: "RCS hook=session-end project={{projectName}} session={{sessionId}} tmux={{tmuxSession}} reason={{reason}}. 한국어로 완료 요약을 1줄로 남기고 필요한 후속 조치를 안내하세요."
   }' "$CONFIG_FILE" > "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" && mv "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" "$CONFIG_FILE"

Verification for this mode:

clawdbot agent --session-id rcs-hooks --message "RCS hook test via clawdbot agent path" \
  --thinking minimal --deliver --reply-channel discord --reply-to 'channel:1468539002985644084' --timeout 120 --json

Dev runbook (Korean + tmux follow-up):

# 1) identify active RCS tmux sessions
tmux list-sessions -F '#{session_name}' | rg '^rcs-' || true

# 2) confirm hook templates include session/tmux context
jq '.notifications.openclaw.hooks' "$CONFIG_FILE"

# 3) inspect agent JSONL logs when delivery looks broken
tail -n 120 /tmp/rcs-openclaw-agent.jsonl | jq -s '.[] | {timestamp: (.timestamp // .time), status: (.status // .error // "ok")}'

# 4) check for recent errors in logs
rg '"error"|"failed"|"timeout"' /tmp/rcs-openclaw-agent.jsonl | tail -20

4c) Compatibility + precedence contract

RCS accepts both:

• explicit notifications.openclaw schema (legacy/runtime shape)
• generic aliases (custom_webhook_command, custom_cli_command)

Deterministic precedence:

1. notifications.openclaw wins when present and valid.
2. Generic aliases are ignored in that case (with warning).

Step 5: Cross-Cutting Settings

Verbosity

• minimal / session (recommended) / agent / verbose

Idle cooldown

• notifications.idleCooldownSeconds

Profiles

• notifications.profiles
• notifications.defaultProfile

Reply listener

• notifications.reply.enabled
• env gates: RCS_REPLY_ENABLED=true, and for Discord RCS_REPLY_DISCORD_USER_IDS=...
• For Discord bot replies, an authorized operator can reply with exact-match status to a tracked RCS notification to receive a bounded read-only session summary. This is a reply-thread-scoped status probe, not a general remote control surface.

Step 6: Disable All Notifications

jq '.notifications.enabled = false' "$CONFIG_FILE" > "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" && mv "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" "$CONFIG_FILE"

Step 7: Verification Guidance

After writing config, run a smoke check:

npm run build

For OpenClaw-like HTTP integrations, verify both:

• /hooks/wake smoke test
• /hooks/agent delivery verification

Final Summary Template

Show:

• Native platforms enabled
• Generic aliases enabled (custom_webhook_command, custom_cli_command)
• Whether explicit notifications.openclaw exists (and therefore overrides aliases)
• Verbosity + idle cooldown + reply listener state
• Config path (~/.codex/.rcs-config.json)
