Talking to Claude

Before you start: link your subscription

claudecord has no shared Claude credential — the bot will only answer you once you’ve run /link-claude link and pasted a token from claude setup-token into the modal that pops up. See Getting started for the full walkthrough.

Conversations

Start: mention the bot anywhere it’s allowed:

@Claude what’s a good name for a cat that only knocks things off tables?

The bot reacts 👀, creates a thread named after your question, and answers inside it. While it thinks you’ll see the reply grow in place — Discord doesn’t support true streaming, so the bot edits its message every couple of seconds.

Continue: just type in the thread. No mention needed; the whole thread is one conversation and Claude remembers all of it (it survives bot restarts, too).

Stay quiet: start a message with // inside a thread and the bot ignores it — handy for talking to other humans mid-conversation.

Forget: /reset inside a thread wipes Claude’s memory of it. The thread keeps working, starting fresh.

Attachments

Drop files into your message:

• Text files (.md, .txt, code files, JSON, CSV, … up to 256 KB) are passed to Claude inline.
• Images (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF up to 5 MB) are passed as images — ask questions about screenshots, diagrams, photos.
• Anything else is politely skipped (you’ll see a note).

Long answers

Replies longer than one Discord message are split — never inside a code block. Very long answers arrive as a response.md attachment with a preview.
