# Discord / OpenClaw Configuration

## Date: 2026-02-23

## Working Config (Slash Commands + Agent Responses)

**File Location:** `~/.openclaw/config/config.json`

### Critical Setup

Both layers required for full functionality:

```json
"channels": {
  "discord": {
    "enabled": true,
    "token": "YOUR_TOKEN",
    "groupPolicy": "open",
    "guilds": {
      "1465924568119251006": {
        "users": [
          "458667380332036117",
          "1465926559134257294"
        ],
        "channels": {
          "1466074219829006599": {
            "allow": true
          }
        },
        "requireMention": false
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Why Both Layers?

| Layer | Location | Purpose | Without It |
|-------|----------|---------|------------|
| `users` | Guild level | Slash commands working | `/compact`, `/status` don't register |
| `channels.allow` | Channel level | Agent can respond | Agent stops responding to messages |

### Bug/Design Issue

The `users` whitelist prevents agent responses — it's a bug where:
1. `users` enables slash commands ✅
2. But also breaks message processing ❌
3. `channels.allow` is the workaround to re-enable responses

**Both required** until OpenClaw fixes the bug.
