discord-setup

Set up prerequisites for the Claude Code Discord channel plugin.

Step 1: Check and install bun

Check if bun is installed:

command -v bun

If bun is not found, install it:

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

After installation, detect the user's shell and add bun to the appropriate rc file:

echo $SHELL

• If zsh: add export BUN_INSTALL="$HOME/.bun" and export PATH="$BUN_INSTALL/bin:$PATH" to ~/.zshrc
• If bash: add the same lines to ~/.bashrc

Skip this step if bun is already on PATH.

Step 2: Configure the dangercc-discord alias

Check if the alias already exists in the user's shell rc file (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc based on Step 1).

If not present, add this alias:

alias dangercc-discord='DISCORD_STATE_DIR="$(pwd)/.claude/channels/discord" claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --channels plugin:discord@claude-plugins-official'

This alias launches Claude Code with:

• --dangerously-skip-permissions for unattended operation
• --channels plugin:discord@claude-plugins-official to connect the Discord bot
• DISCORD_STATE_DIR set to the current project directory so each project gets isolated Discord state

Step 3: Verify

Confirm both are configured:

command -v bun && echo "bun: OK" || echo "bun: NOT FOUND"

Check the appropriate rc file (from Step 1) for the alias:

grep -q "dangercc-discord" ~/.zshrc 2>/dev/null || grep -q "dangercc-discord" ~/.bashrc 2>/dev/null && echo "alias: OK" || echo "alias: NOT FOUND"

Inform the user to restart their shell or run source on their rc file for changes to take effect.
