Discord slash commands (native) and inline text shortcuts (/status, /new, /help) stopped working after upgrading from ~2026.3.22 to 2026.3.23/2026.3.24. Issue persists across both versions.

Root Cause

Discord slash commands (native) and inline text shortcuts (/status, /new, /help) stopped working after upgrading from ~2026.3.22 to 2026.3.23/2026.3.24. Issue persists across both versions.

Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

No errors logged for command dispatch — the interaction completes but with minimal/empty response.

Code Example

[EventQueue] Slow listener detected: InteractionEventListener took 1407ms for event INTERACTION_CREATE
discord: native commands using Carbon reconcile path (×9 accounts on every restart)

{
  "native": "auto",
  "nativeSkills": "auto",
  "restart": true,
  "ownerDisplay": "raw",
  "allowFrom": {
    "*": ["openclaw-control-ui"],

Description

Discord slash commands (native) and inline text shortcuts (/status, /new, /help) stopped working after upgrading from ~2026.3.22 to 2026.3.23/2026.3.24. Issue persists across both versions.

Environment

OpenClaw version: 2026.3.24 (also reproduced on 2026.3.23-2)
Node: v22.20.0 (nvm)
OS: macOS (Apple Silicon)
Channel: Discord, multi-account setup (9 bot accounts, each mapped to an agent)
Config: commands.native: "auto", commands.text: true (default), commands.allowFrom.discord includes the user ID

Symptoms

Native slash commands

/status and /new via Discord slash command popup return an ephemeral "✅ Done." with no actual content (no session info, no status card)
Gateway logs show InteractionEventListener took ~1200ms for event INTERACTION_CREATE (slow but completes)
Commands appear to execute in an isolated slash session (agent:<id>:discord:slash:<userId>) but produce no meaningful output

Inline text shortcuts

Sending hey /status as a regular message does not strip /status — the full text including /status reaches the agent model
No status card is sent as a separate reply
Per docs, /status should be an inline shortcut that runs immediately and is stripped before the model sees the message

CLI agent path works fine

openclaw agent --agent lovelace --message "/status" produces correct status output
This confirms the command handler itself works; the issue is in Discord channel command parsing

Relevant logs

[EventQueue] Slow listener detected: InteractionEventListener took 1407ms for event INTERACTION_CREATE
discord: native commands using Carbon reconcile path (×9 accounts on every restart)

No errors logged for command dispatch — the interaction completes but with minimal/empty response.

Commands config

{
  "native": "auto",
  "nativeSkills": "auto",
  "restart": true,
  "ownerDisplay": "raw",
  "allowFrom": {
    "*": ["openclaw-control-ui"],
    "discord": ["user:<owner-id>", "user:<bot-id>"]
  }
}

Steps to reproduce

Configure OpenClaw with multiple Discord bot accounts (multi-agent setup)
Set commands.allowFrom.discord with the owner user ID
In any allowed channel, use Discord slash command /status → get "Done" with no content
In any allowed channel, send message hey /status → agent receives full text with /status not stripped
Run openclaw agent --message "/status" → works correctly

Expected behavior

/status slash command should return session status info
/new slash command should reset the channel session
Inline /status in messages should be stripped and produce a status card reply

Fix Plan

To resolve the issue with Discord slash commands and inline text shortcuts, follow these steps:

Update the commands.native configuration: Change the value from "auto" to a specific set of commands that should be handled natively, such as ["status", "new"].
Implement a custom command handler: Create a custom command handler to process the native commands and inline text shortcuts. This handler should strip the command from the message text and send a response accordingly.

Example code for the custom command handler:

// commands.js
const commands = {
  status: async (ctx) => {
    // Send session status info
    const status = await getSessionStatus(ctx);
    ctx.send(`Session Status: ${status}`);
  },
  new: async (ctx) => {
    // Reset the channel session
    await resetSession(ctx);
    ctx.send('Session reset');
  },
};

const handleCommand = async (ctx, command, args) => {
  if (commands[command]) {
    await commands[command](ctx, args);
  }
};

const handleInlineCommand = async (ctx, message) => {
  const commandMatch = message.match(/^\/(\w+)/);
  if (commandMatch) {
    const command = commandMatch[1];
    const strippedMessage = message.replace(commandMatch[0], '');
    await handleCommand(ctx, command, strippedMessage);
  }
};

module.exports = { handleCommand, handleInlineCommand };

// discord.js
const { handleCommand, handleInlineCommand } = require('./commands');

// ...

discord.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
  if (message.content.startsWith('/')) {
    const command = message.content.slice(1).split(' ')[0];
    await handleCommand(message, command, message.content.slice(command.length + 2));
  } else {
    await handleInlineCommand(message, message.content);
  }
});

discord.on('interactionCreate', async (interaction) => {
  if (interaction.type === 'APPLICATION_COMMAND') {
    const command = interaction.commandName;
    await handleCommand(interaction, command, interaction.options);
  }
});

Verification

To verify that the fix worked:

Restart the OpenClaw server with the updated configuration and custom command handler.
Test the Discord slash commands /status and /new to ensure they return the expected responses.
Test inline text shortcuts by sending messages with /status and /new to ensure they are stripped and produce the expected responses.

Extra Tips

Make sure to update the commands.allowFrom configuration to include the user IDs that should be allowed to use the native commands.
Consider adding error handling and logging to the custom command handler to diagnose any issues that may arise.
If you're using a multi-agent setup, ensure that the custom command handler is properly configured for each agent.
