## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise.

## Documentation

### Discord Voice Plugin for Clawdbot

Real-time voice conversations in Discord voice channels. Join a voice channel, speak, and have your words transcribed, processed by Claude, and spoken back.

### Features

Join/Leave Voice Channels: Via slash commands, CLI, or agent tool
Voice Activity Detection (VAD): Automatically detects when users are speaking
Speech-to-Text: Whisper API (OpenAI), Deepgram, or Local Whisper (Offline)
Streaming STT: Real-time transcription with Deepgram WebSocket (~1s latency reduction)
Agent Integration: Transcribed speech is routed through the Clawdbot agent
Text-to-Speech: OpenAI TTS, ElevenLabs, or Kokoro (Local/Offline)
Audio Playback: Responses are spoken back in the voice channel
Barge-in Support: Stops speaking immediately when user starts talking
Auto-reconnect: Automatic heartbeat monitoring and reconnection on disconnect

### Requirements

Discord bot with voice permissions (Connect, Speak, Use Voice Activity)
API keys for STT and TTS providers
System dependencies for voice:

ffmpeg (audio processing)
Native build tools for @discordjs/opus and sodium-native

### 1. Install System Dependencies

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg build-essential python3

# Fedora/RHEL
sudo dnf install ffmpeg gcc-c++ make python3

# macOS
brew install ffmpeg

### 2. Install via ClawdHub

clawdhub install discord-voice

Or manually:

cd ~/.clawdbot/extensions
git clone <repository-url> discord-voice
cd discord-voice
npm install

### 3. Configure in clawdbot.json

{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      "discord-voice": {
        enabled: true,
        config: {
          sttProvider: "local-whisper",
          ttsProvider: "openai",
          ttsVoice: "nova",
          vadSensitivity: "medium",
          allowedUsers: [], // Empty = allow all users
          silenceThresholdMs: 1500,
          maxRecordingMs: 30000,
          openai: {
            apiKey: "sk-...", // Or use OPENAI_API_KEY env var
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

### 4. Discord Bot Setup

Ensure your Discord bot has these permissions:

Connect - Join voice channels
Speak - Play audio
Use Voice Activity - Detect when users speak

Add these to your bot's OAuth2 URL or configure in Discord Developer Portal.

### Provider Configuration

OpenAI (Whisper + TTS)

{
  openai: {
    apiKey: "sk-...",
    whisperModel: "whisper-1",
    ttsModel: "tts-1",
  },
}

ElevenLabs (TTS only)

{
  elevenlabs: {
    apiKey: "...",
    voiceId: "21m00Tcm4TlvDq8ikWAM", // Rachel
    modelId: "eleven_multilingual_v2",
  },
}

Deepgram (STT only)

{
  deepgram: {
    apiKey: "...",
    model: "nova-2",
  },
}

### Slash Commands (Discord)

Once registered with Discord, use these commands:

/discord_voice join <channel> - Join a voice channel
/discord_voice leave - Leave the current voice channel
/discord_voice status - Show voice connection status

### CLI Commands

# Join a voice channel
clawdbot discord_voice join <channelId>

# Leave voice
clawdbot discord_voice leave --guild <guildId>

# Check status
clawdbot discord_voice status

### Agent Tool

The agent can use the discord_voice tool:

Join voice channel 1234567890

The tool supports actions:

join - Join a voice channel (requires channelId)
leave - Leave voice channel
speak - Speak text in the voice channel
status - Get current voice status

### How It Works

Join: Bot joins the specified voice channel
Listen: VAD detects when users start/stop speaking
Record: Audio is buffered while user speaks
Transcribe: On silence, audio is sent to STT provider
Process: Transcribed text is sent to Clawdbot agent
Synthesize: Agent response is converted to audio via TTS
Play: Audio is played back in the voice channel

### Streaming STT (Deepgram)

When using Deepgram as your STT provider, streaming mode is enabled by default. This provides:

~1 second faster end-to-end latency
Real-time feedback with interim transcription results
Automatic keep-alive to prevent connection timeouts
Fallback to batch transcription if streaming fails

To use streaming STT:

{
  sttProvider: "deepgram",
  streamingSTT: true, // default
  deepgram: {
    apiKey: "...",
    model: "nova-2",
  },
}

### Barge-in Support

When enabled (default), the bot will immediately stop speaking if a user starts talking. This creates a more natural conversational flow where you can interrupt the bot.

To disable (let the bot finish speaking):

{
  bargeIn: false,
}

### Auto-reconnect

The plugin includes automatic connection health monitoring:

Heartbeat checks every 30 seconds (configurable)
Auto-reconnect on disconnect with exponential backoff
Max 3 attempts before giving up

If the connection drops, you'll see logs like:

[discord-voice] Disconnected from voice channel
[discord-voice] Reconnection attempt 1/3
[discord-voice] Reconnected successfully

### VAD Sensitivity

low: Picks up quiet speech, may trigger on background noise
medium: Balanced (recommended)
high: Requires louder, clearer speech

### "Discord client not available"

Ensure the Discord channel is configured and the bot is connected before using voice.

### Opus/Sodium build errors

Install build tools:

npm install -g node-gyp
npm rebuild @discordjs/opus sodium-native

### No audio heard

Check bot has Connect + Speak permissions
Check bot isn't server muted
Verify TTS API key is valid

### Transcription not working

Check STT API key is valid
Check audio is being recorded (see debug logs)
Try adjusting VAD sensitivity

### Enable debug logging

DEBUG=discord-voice clawdbot gateway start

### Environment Variables

VariableDescriptionDISCORD_TOKENDiscord bot token (required)OPENAI_API_KEYOpenAI API key (Whisper + TTS)ELEVENLABS_API_KEYElevenLabs API keyDEEPGRAM_API_KEYDeepgram API key

### Limitations

Only one voice channel per guild at a time
Maximum recording length: 30 seconds (configurable)
Requires stable network for real-time audio
TTS output may have slight delay due to synthesis
