# Discord Chat Summary

Generate summaries of synced Discord chat messages. Claude reads the message files directly and produces a concise summary of key discussions, topics, and activity.

## When to Use

- User asks for a summary of Discord chats
- User wants a digest or recap of Discord conversations
- User asks "what's been happening" in Discord
- User wants highlights from Discord channels
- User asks for an overview of Discord activity
- User wants to catch up on Discord messages

## How to Execute

### Step 1: Get the Manifest

First, get the manifest to understand what data is available. Use the manifest tool which auto-creates the data directory and manifest if they don't exist:

```bash
python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/discord_manifest.py
```

This shows all synced servers, channels, message counts, and last sync times.

If no data exists, the tool will guide the user to sync first.

**CRITICAL PATH RESOLUTION:** All data paths shown in the manifest are relative to the **current working directory** (cwd) where Claude is running - NOT relative to this skill file or the plugin directory.

### Step 2: Determine Scope

Ask user or infer from their request which scope to summarize:

| Scope | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| All servers | Summarize across all synced servers |
| Specific server | Summarize all channels in one server |
| Specific channel | Summarize a single channel |

### Step 3: Read Messages

Read the relevant `messages.md` files based on scope:

**For all servers:**
```
Read each: ./data/{server-dir}/{channel}/messages.md
```

**For specific server (e.g., "Midjourney"):**
```
Read: ./data/662267976984297473-midjourney/*/messages.md
```

**For specific channel:**
```
Read: ./data/{server-dir}/{channel-name}/messages.md
```

### Step 4: Apply Time Filtering (Optional)

If user specifies a time range, filter messages by date headers in the markdown:

| User Request | Filter Logic |
|--------------|--------------|
| "last 7 days" | Only include messages under `## YYYY-MM-DD` headers from the past 7 days |
| "this week" | Messages from current week (Monday-Sunday) |
| "since Jan 1" | Messages from `## 2026-01-01` onwards |
| "yesterday" | Messages from yesterday's date only |

Date headers in messages.md look like: `## 2026-01-03`

### Step 5: Generate Summary

Produce a summary including:

- **Key topics**: Main subjects discussed
- **Active participants**: Most active users (by message count)
- **Notable discussions**: Important conversations or decisions
- **Questions asked**: Unanswered questions if relevant
- **Sentiment**: Overall tone (helpful, heated, casual, etc.)

## Example Usage

**User:** "Summarize the Discord chats from last week"

**Claude:**
1. Runs `python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/discord_manifest.py` to list available servers
2. Reads all `messages.md` files from paths in manifest
3. Filters to only include `## 2025-12-27` through `## 2026-01-03`
4. Generates summary

**User:** "What's been happening in the Midjourney server?"

**Claude:**
1. Runs `python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/discord_manifest.py`
2. Finds Midjourney server directory from manifest
3. Reads all channel messages.md files in that server
4. Generates server-wide summary

**User:** "Give me a quick digest of #general"

**Claude:**
1. Runs `python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/discord_manifest.py` to find #general channel path
2. Reads that specific `messages.md`
3. Generates channel-focused summary

## Message Format Reference

Messages in `messages.md` are structured as:

```markdown
## 2026-01-03

### 4:12 AM - @username (user_id)
Message content here

### 4:30 AM - @another_user (user_id)
↳ replying to @username:
Reply content

Reactions: heart 2 | rocket 1
```

## Prerequisites

- Messages must be synced first using the `discord-sync` skill
- At least one server/channel should have data in `./data/` directory (relative to cwd)

## Limitations

- Only summarizes locally synced messages (not live Discord data)
- Cannot summarize messages not yet pulled via `discord-sync`
- Large message volumes may require focusing on specific channels or date ranges

## Next Steps

- Use `discord-sync` to pull fresh messages before summarizing
- Use `discord-read` to view full message details after identifying interesting discussions
