Configuration

Set environment variables before running the bot. A .env.example file shows the expected variables.

Core - DISCORD_TOKEN: required - OPENAI_API_KEY: required - OPENAI_MODEL: default gpt-5-mini (override with --model) - COMMAND_PREFIX: default ~ - MAX_TURNS: default 20 - DISCORD_OWNER_ID: optional; required for ~reboot

Storage - Context is persisted as JSON at ~/.cache/llm-chatbot-kit/context.json (or XDG_CACHE_HOME). Legacy path is auto-migrated on first run. - To reset all memory, delete this file or use ~reboot (owner only).

Discord setup - Enable “Message Content Intent” in the Developer Portal. - Invite your bot with appropriate permissions (send messages, read history).
