I like it but it's one conversation at a time, no ability to manually compact the chat... I guess it's an early version still.

I don't see this said anywhere - maybe I missed it. Why is it only one conversation at a time?

Couldn't you have multiple sessions using different plugins or whatever?

Well, it's one conversation per bot. I set it up, connected the channel. DM'd it (only way to converse with it - wish I could have a Discord channel per project, different CWDs etc...) and asked what happens when I start 2 claude sessions connected to the channel and it said it'll just work with one.

Suppose you could have multiple bots, but it looks like it only supports one bot token anyway.

This is an API designed to build connectors, there's absolutely nothing preventing you from building one that connects to Discord and listens to a different channel for each instance.

I think they gave two sample implementations to demonstrate it.

I'm guessing their expecting the community to run with it
