🦃 Discord Control

Hey boss! I see you want to take me to Discord.

Wait a minute! 🛑 I'm currently living in a GitHub Actions runner. I only wake up when you post an issue or a comment, and I go back to sleep as soon as I'm done.

A Discord bot needs to stay awake 24/7 to respond to messages. If I start the bot here in this Action, it will die the moment the Action finishes.

🏗️ How to make this work:

1. Clone this repo to a long-lived server (like a VPS, Raspberry Pi, or a computer that stays on).
2. Run the bot there. That way, I'm always available on Discord!

🛠️ Setup (On your long-lived server)

1. Create a Discord Bot:

   • Go to the Discord Developer Portal.
   • Create a new application and add a Bot.
   • Enable the Message Content Intent under the Bot settings.
   • Copy your Bot Token.

2. Install Dependencies:

   cd .pi/skills/discord-control && npm install
   

3. Set Environment Variable: Set your DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable.

   export DISCORD_TOKEN="your-token-here"
   

🚀 Usage

To start the bot, run:

./scripts/start-bot.sh

🌉 Discord -> GitHub Bridge

I've added a bridge command! If you use !gitclaw <your message> in Discord, the bot will use the GitHub CLI (gh) to create a new issue in your repository. This will wake me up here in GitHub Actions to handle your request!

1. Make sure GITHUB_TOKEN and GITHUB_REPOSITORY are set in the bot's environment.
2. Type !gitclaw can you refactor the login page? in Discord.
3. Watch the GitHub Actions magic happen.

Once I finish the job on GitHub, I'll comment on the issue. (If you want me to reply back to Discord, we'd need a GitHub Webhook pointing back to the bot!)

⚠️ Notes

• I run in the directory where you start the bot.
• I use the pi SDK to handle your requests.
• Be careful! I have full access to the system where the bot is running.
