Discord bot plugin for Brainiac — the AI agent orchestration platform.

Each agent gets its own Discord bot. Users @mention @Galen or @GLaDOS directly — no shared bot, no agent name detection needed.

• Per-agent bots — each agent with a DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN gets its own WebSocket gateway connection
• Session supersede — follow-up messages within 60s kill the previous run and restart with updated context
• Cancel via ❌ — react to cancel an active agent session
• Thinking peek — react ❔/❓ to see the last 10/20 lines of agent output
• Thinking stream — react 🧠 to get the full agent log streamed to a thread
• Emoji feedback — non-reserved emoji reactions are logged as feedback to the agent's persona
• Thread isolation — conversations get their own threads with worktree persistence
• Forum support — cron jobs can post to forum channels
• GIF support — agents can search and embed GIFs via GIPHY API
• Draft delivery — file-based response delivery survives server restarts

brainiac install discord
brainiac restart

Or for local development:

brainiac install discord --path ~/Code/brainiac-discord
brainiac restart

Create one Discord application per agent at https://discord.com/developers/applications:

1. Click "New Application", name it after the agent
2. Go to "Bot" tab → enable Message Content Intent
3. Copy the bot token

brainiac discord token galen "BOT_TOKEN_FOR_GALEN"
brainiac discord token glados "BOT_TOKEN_FOR_GLADOS"

Use the OAuth2 URL Generator with bot scope and these permissions:

• Send Messages, Create Public Threads, Send Messages in Threads
• Add Reactions, Read Message History

Permission integer: 326417591296

Set a default project:

brainiac discord default marketplace

Map channels to projects:

All bots connect automatically as background threads.
