Root Cause

When using ACP sessions (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) via Discord, users cannot send slash commands like /help or /compact to the harness because:

Fix / Workaround

Currently the only workaround is to describe the action in natural language, which is less efficient.

Problem

When using ACP sessions (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) via Discord, users cannot send slash commands like /help or /compact to the harness because:

  1. Discord intercepts / prefixed messages as bot commands
  2. Quoting the command ('/help') passes it literally to the harness, which rejects the malformed format

This makes it impossible to invoke harness-native slash commands from Discord.

Proposed Solution

Add a pre-processing layer in acpx that:

  1. Detects quoted/escaped slash commands (e.g., '/help', "/help", `/help`)
  2. Strips the wrapper before forwarding to the harness
  3. Allows users to invoke harness-native slash commands from Discord

Use Case

Users in Discord thread-bound ACP sessions want to:

  • Use /help to see available commands
  • Use /compact to manage conversation context
  • Use other Claude Code native slash commands

Currently the only workaround is to describe the action in natural language, which is less efficient.

Fix Plan

To address the issue, we will implement a pre-processing layer in acpx to detect and strip quoted/escaped slash commands.

Steps:

  • Detect quoted/escaped slash commands using regular expressions
  • Strip the wrapper before forwarding to the harness
  • Test the implementation with various input formats

Example Code (Python):

import re

def preprocess_command(command):
    # Regular expression patterns to match quoted/escaped slash commands
    patterns = [r"^'/(.*)'$", r'^"/(.*)"$', r'^`` (.*) ``$']
    
    # Iterate over patterns and strip the wrapper if a match is found
    for pattern in patterns:
        match = re.match(pattern, command)
        if match:
            return match.group(1)
    
    # If no match is found, return the original command
    return command

# Example usage:
commands = ["'/help'", '"/help"', "`` /help ``"]
for command in commands:
    print(preprocess_command(command))  # Output: /help

Verification

To verify the fix, test the acpx implementation with various input formats, including quoted/escaped slash commands. Ensure that the harness receives the correct, stripped command.

Extra Tips

  • Consider adding support for other types of escaped commands
  • Test the implementation with different Discord clients and platforms to ensure compatibility
  • Document the pre-processing layer and its behavior for future reference and maintenance
