# /gateway:discord-configure — Configure Discord
Use this skill to set up the Discord channel for an agent.
## Required setup
### 1. Save the bot token
```
/gateway:discord-configure token <BOT_TOKEN>
```
Writes `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=<token>` to `$DISCORD_STATE_DIR/.env`.
### 2. Set required env vars in agent config
Add to the agent's `.env` file:
```
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=<your-bot-token>
DISCORD_STATE_DIR=~/.claude-gateway/agents/<id>/.discord-state
DISCORD_DM_POLICY=disabled # open | allowlist | disabled
DISCORD_GUILD_ALLOWLIST= # comma-separated guild IDs (empty = all)
DISCORD_CHANNEL_ALLOWLIST= # comma-separated channel IDs (empty = all)
DISCORD_AUTO_THREAD=false # create thread per conversation
DISCORD_USE_EMBEDS=false # use embeds for long responses
```
## Discord Developer Portal checklist
1. Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications
2. Select your application → Bot settings
3. Enable **MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT** (privileged intent) — **required**: without
it the bot still receives message events but with **empty content**, so it can
neither respond nor pair. This is the #1 cause of a bot that joins a server but
stays silent.
4. Required bot permissions:
- View Channel *(and Read Message History — without these the bot never sees messages in the channel)*
- Send Messages
- Read Message History
- Create Public Threads
- Send Messages in Threads
- Attach Files
- Embed Links
- Add Reactions
