parallels-discord-roundtrip

Verify two-way Discord messaging in a macOS virtual machine running in Parallels. Check installation and gateway health, confirm messages reach the host, and prove that the guest can read a new host reply.

OriginalShow the original description

Run macOS Parallels smoke with Discord send, host verification, host reply, and guest readback proof.

AI rating90/ 100See how to install

Good for

  • Checking Discord messaging after a fresh macOS installation
  • Verifying two-way delivery after an upgrade
  • Investigating intermittent Discord roundtrip failures
  • Reporting test results in JSON

Overview

What it does

Test two-way Discord messaging in a macOS virtual machine running in Parallels. The workflow covers installation on a fresh snapshot, initial setup, and gateway health checks. It then confirms that a message sent by the guest appears on the host, and that the guest can read a new message posted by the host. Results can also be output as JSON.

When it helps

Use it after a new installation or an upgrade to check actual Discord sending and receiving. For unstable communication, it also provides steps for inspecting logs from individual phases and checking the messages read back by the guest.

Example requests

  • “Verify Discord sending and reply readback in a fresh macOS environment.”
  • “Investigate the failed roundtrip logs and summarize the results as JSON.”

Notes

You need a Parallels runtime, a Discord bot token, a guild ID, a channel ID, and OPENAI_API_KEY. Guest messaging uses the openclaw wrapper. Test messages are deleted when the run ends. After verification, shut down the virtual machine configured for Discord to prevent continued reading or posting.

This overview was written by AI (OpenAI Codex) from the public SKILL.md. Check the original below for the exact behavior.

Objective evaluation

AI rated this skill on four points using only the contents of its SKILL.md. Stars and popularity are not taken into account.

Clear instructionsIs it clear when to use it and what it does?
AGoodThe goal explicitly covers guest sending, host verification and reply, and guest readback.
Concrete stepsAre steps, inputs, outputs, and examples spelled out?
AGoodIt specifies the run command, required inputs, log locations, and roundtrip pass criteria.
SafetyAre sending data, deleting files, and running commands disclosed?
AGoodCredential retrieval and external posting are shown, with test-message deletion and virtual-machine shutdown explicitly required.
Easy setupDoes it need few tools or API keys, and are they documented?
BPartly lackingTokens and IDs are listed, but installation instructions for prerequisites such as Parallels are absent.

The total counts each point as A = 25, B = 15, C = 5. Rated by AI (OpenAI Codex) as of Oct 19, 2026. Treat it as a guide and read the original before installing.

Parallels Discord Roundtrip

Use when macOS Parallels smoke must prove Discord two-way delivery end to end.

Goal

Cover:

  • install on fresh macOS snapshot
  • onboard + gateway health
  • guest message send to Discord
  • host sees that message on Discord
  • host posts a new Discord message
  • guest message read sees that new message

Inputs

  • host env var with Discord bot token
  • Discord guild ID
  • Discord channel ID
  • OPENAI_API_KEY

Preferred run

export OPENCLAW_PARALLELS_DISCORD_TOKEN="$(
  ssh peters-mac-studio-1 'jq -r ".channels.discord.token" ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json' | tr -d '\n'
)"

pnpm test:parallels:macos \
  --discord-token-env OPENCLAW_PARALLELS_DISCORD_TOKEN \
  --discord-guild-id 1456350064065904867 \
  --discord-channel-id 1456744319972282449 \
  --json

Notes

  • Snapshot target: closest to macOS 26.3.1 fresh.
  • Snapshot resolver now prefers matching *-poweroff* clones when the base hint also matches. That lets the harness reuse disk-only recovery snapshots without passing a longer hint.
  • If Windows/Linux snapshot restore logs show PET_QUESTION_SNAPSHOT_STATE_INCOMPATIBLE_CPU, drop the suspended state once, create a *-poweroff* replacement snapshot, and rerun. The smoke scripts now auto-start restored power-off snapshots.
  • Harness configures Discord inside the guest; no checked-in token/config.
  • Use the openclaw wrapper for guest message send/read; node openclaw.mjs message ... does not expose the lazy message subcommands the same way.
  • Write channels.discord.guilds in one JSON object (--strict-json), not dotted config set channels.discord.guilds.<snowflake>... paths; numeric snowflakes get treated like array indexes.
  • Avoid prlctl enter / expect for long Discord setup scripts; it line-wraps/corrupts long commands. Use prlctl exec --current-user /bin/sh -lc ... for the Discord config phase.
  • Full 3-OS sweeps: the shared build lock is safe in parallel, but snapshot restore is still a Parallels bottleneck. Prefer serialized Windows/Linux restore-heavy reruns if the host is already under load.
  • Harness cleanup deletes the temporary Discord smoke messages at exit.
  • After a successful Discord roundtrip, shut down the macOS guest before handoff (prlctl stop "macOS Tahoe"). The macOS smoke harness should do this automatically after successful Discord proof; still stop the VM manually after ad-hoc Discord checks. Do not leave the Discord-configured VM running; it can keep reading/posting in #maintainer and spam Discord after the proof is complete.
  • Per-phase logs: /tmp/openclaw-parallels-smoke.*
  • Machine summary: pass --json
  • If roundtrip flakes, inspect fresh.discord-roundtrip.log and discord-last-readback.json in the run dir first.

Pass criteria

  • fresh lane or upgrade lane requested passes
  • summary reports discord=pass for that lane
  • guest outbound nonce appears in channel history
  • host inbound nonce appears in openclaw message read output
