Discord Actions

Overview

Use discord to manage messages, reactions, threads, polls, and moderation. You can disable groups via discord.actions.* (defaults to enabled, except roles/moderation). The tool uses the bot token configured for Otto.

Inputs to collect

• For reactions: channelId, messageId, and an emoji.
• For fetchMessage: guildId, channelId, messageId, or a messageLink like https://discord.com/channels/<guildId>/<channelId>/<messageId>.
• For stickers/polls/sendMessage: a to target (channel:<id> or user:<id>). Optional content text.
• Polls also need a question plus 2–10 answers.
• For media: mediaUrl with file:///path for local files or https://... for remote.
• For emoji uploads: guildId, name, mediaUrl, optional roleIds (limit 256KB, PNG/JPG/GIF).
• For sticker uploads: guildId, name, description, tags, mediaUrl (limit 512KB, PNG/APNG/Lottie JSON).

Message context lines include discord message id and channel fields you can reuse directly.

Note: sendMessage uses to: "channel:<id>" format, not channelId. Other actions like react, readMessages, editMessage use channelId directly. Note: fetchMessage accepts message IDs or full links like https://discord.com/channels/<guildId>/<channelId>/<messageId>.

Bot presence/activity (disabled by default)

Set the bot's online status and activity. Enable via discord.actions.presence: true.

Discord bots can only set name, state, type, and url on an activity. Other Activity fields (details, emoji, assets) are accepted by the gateway but silently ignored by Discord for bots.

How fields render by activity type:

• playing, streaming, listening, watching, competing: activityName is shown in the sidebar under the bot's name (e.g. "with fire" for type "playing" and name "with fire"). activityState is shown in the profile flyout.
• custom: activityName is ignored. Only activityState is displayed as the status text in the sidebar.
• streaming: activityUrl may be displayed or embedded by the client.

Set playing status:

{
  "action": "setPresence",
  "activityType": "playing",
  "activityName": "with fire"
}

Result in sidebar: "with fire". Flyout shows: "Playing: with fire"

With state (shown in flyout):

{
  "action": "setPresence",
  "activityType": "playing",
  "activityName": "My Game",
  "activityState": "In the lobby"
}

Result in sidebar: "My Game". Flyout shows: "Playing: My Game (newline) In the lobby".

Set streaming (optional URL, may not render for bots):

{
  "action": "setPresence",
  "activityType": "streaming",
  "activityName": "Live coding",
  "activityUrl": "https://twitch.tv/example"
}

Set listening/watching:

{
  "action": "setPresence",
  "activityType": "listening",
  "activityName": "Spotify"
}

{
  "action": "setPresence",
  "activityType": "watching",
  "activityName": "the logs"
}

Set a custom status (text in sidebar):

{
  "action": "setPresence",
  "activityType": "custom",
  "activityState": "Vibing"
}

Result in sidebar: "Vibing". Note: activityName is ignored for custom type.

Set bot status only (no activity/clear status):

{
  "action": "setPresence",
  "status": "dnd"
}

Parameters:

• activityType: playing, streaming, listening, watching, competing, custom
• activityName: text shown in the sidebar for non-custom types (ignored for custom)
• activityUrl: Twitch or YouTube URL for streaming type (optional; may not render for bots)
• activityState: for custom this is the status text; for other types it shows in the profile flyout
• status: online (default), dnd, idle, invisible

Discord Writing Style Guide

Keep it conversational! Discord is a chat platform, not documentation.

Do

• Short, punchy messages (1-3 sentences ideal)
• Multiple quick replies > one wall of text
• Use emoji for tone/emphasis 🦞
• Lowercase casual style is fine
• Break up info into digestible chunks
• Match the energy of the conversation

Don't

• No markdown tables (Discord renders them as ugly raw | text |)
• No ## Headers for casual chat (use bold or CAPS for emphasis)
• Avoid multi-paragraph essays
• Don't over-explain simple things
• Skip the "I'd be happy to help!" fluff

Formatting that works

• bold for emphasis
• code for technical terms
• Lists for multiple items

• quotes for referencing

• Wrap multiple links in <> to suppress embeds

Example transformations

❌ Bad:

I'd be happy to help with that! Here's a comprehensive overview of the versioning strategies available:

## Semantic Versioning
Semver uses MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format where...

## Calendar Versioning
CalVer uses date-based versions like...

✅ Good:

versioning options: semver (1.2.3), calver (2026.01.04), or yolo (`latest` forever). what fits your release cadence?
