Discord Multi-Bot Command Center

What You Get

A battle-tested configuration for running multiple specialized bots in one Discord server:

Architecture

Discord Server
├── #general      → Benji (Main Agent)
├── #trading      → Axelrod (Trading Bot)
├── #social       → Sol (Content Strategy)
├── #health       → Benji (Health Reports)
├── #system       → Benji (Notifications)
├── #years        → Vero (Product Agent)
└── #nexa         → Nex (Agency Agent)

What's Configured

• 5 bot accounts with separate tokens
• 7 channels with per-channel agent routing
• DM allowlists — control who can DM each bot
• Group policies — prevent bots from responding to non-authorized users
• requireMention: false — bots respond to all messages in their channel
• Cross-channel delivery — cron jobs deliver to the right channel

The 10 Things That Break (And How to Fix Them)

1. Bot responds in wrong channel
2. DMs not working
3. Bot ignores messages (groupPolicy misconfigured)
4. Cron job delivers to Telegram instead of Discord
5. Multiple bots respond to same message
6. Bot goes offline after gateway restart
7. Channel routing with channel: prefix
8. Thread handling and thread_label routing
9. Webhook vs. bot token auth
10. Rate limiting with multiple bots

Each with the exact config fix.
