DisClaw Setup Guide

Walk me through setting up DisClaw step by step. Check each prerequisite and help me configure everything.

Steps to follow

1. Check prerequisites

• Verify Node.js is installed (v20+): run node --version
• Verify Claude Code CLI is installed: run claude --version
• If Claude Code is not installed, tell me to run: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

2. Create a Discord Bot

• Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications
• Click "New Application" and give it a name (e.g., "DisClaw")
• Go to the "Bot" section in the left sidebar
• Click "Reset Token" to generate a new bot token -- SAVE THIS TOKEN
• Under "Privileged Gateway Intents", enable:
  • PRESENCE INTENT
  • SERVER MEMBERS INTENT
  • MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT
• Go to "OAuth2" > "URL Generator"
  • Select scopes: bot, applications.commands
  • Select bot permissions: Send Messages, Manage Channels, Read Message History
  • Copy the generated URL and open it in a browser to invite the bot to your server

3. Configure environment

• Copy .env.example to .env
• Set DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN to the token from step 2
• Set DISCORD_GUILD_ID to your Discord server's ID (right-click server name > Copy Server ID, requires Developer Mode in Discord settings)
• Optionally set CLAUDE_PATH if the claude CLI is not on your PATH

4. Install dependencies

• Run npm install

5. Build the project

• Run npm run build

6. Start the bot

• Run npm run start
• The bot should come online and create a #disclaw management channel
• Use /new-agent in that channel to create your first agent

Troubleshooting

• If the bot does not come online, check the DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN
• If agents do not respond, verify claude --version works in your terminal
• If you get ENOENT errors, set CLAUDE_PATH in your .env file
