Problem Statement

Setup discord

Proposed Solution

Must Be Done Manually (one-time)

  1. Create Discord server - Click "Add a Server" in Discord
  2. Create bot application - Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications, create app, get bot
    token
  3. Invite bot to server - Generate OAuth2 URL with permissions, authorize

Can Be Automated (via Discord API)

Once you have a bot token, a script can:

  • Create all channels (#general, #support, #contributing, #showcase, #announcements)
  • Set up roles and permissions
  • Configure welcome message
  • Set channel descriptions and categories

Want me to create a setup script?

I can write a Python script using discord.py that:

You run once after inviting the bot

python scripts/discord_setup.py --token $DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN

It would create all the channels, roles, and welcome config in seconds.

The manual work is ~5 minutes:

  1. Create server (30 sec)
  2. Create bot app in Developer Portal (2 min)
  3. Copy token, invite bot (2 min)
  4. Run script (instant)
