Discord TLDR

Automatically summarize Discord server conversations and post digests to a dedicated channel. Never miss important discussions again.

Two Ways to Use

🤖 Option 1: Clawdbot Skill (Recommended if you use Clawdbot)

Zero code required. Just configure cron jobs and let Clawdbot handle the rest.

Pros:

No separate bot to host
Uses your existing Clawdbot setup
AI summarization built-in
Easy to customize prompts

Setup: See skill/SKILL.md

🐍 Option 2: Standalone Bot

A self-contained Python Discord bot. Deploy anywhere.

Pros:

Works without Clawdbot
Full control over deployment
Docker-ready
Manual trigger commands

Setup: See standalone/README.md

How It Works

Collect - Reads messages from all accessible channels since last summary
Summarize - Uses Claude/GPT to create a concise digest
Post - Sends the summary to your #tldr channel
Repeat - Runs on schedule (default: 6 AM, 1 PM, 10 PM)

Example Output
