Troubleshooting

• Run opensoul status --deep for a broad probe.
• Use opensoul doctor for guided fixes.
• opensoul channels list prints Claude: HTTP 403 ... user:profile → usage snapshot needs the user:profile scope. Use --no-usage, or provide a claude.ai session key (CLAUDE_WEB_SESSION_KEY / CLAUDE_WEB_COOKIE), or re-auth via Claude Code CLI.

Capabilities probe

Fetch provider capability hints (intents/scopes where available) plus static feature support:

opensoul channels capabilities
opensoul channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:123

Notes:

• --channel is optional; omit it to list every channel (including extensions).
• --target accepts channel:<id> or a raw numeric channel id and only applies to Discord.
• Probes are provider-specific: Discord intents + optional channel permissions; Slack bot + user scopes; Telegram bot flags + webhook; Signal daemon version; MS Teams app token + Graph roles/scopes (annotated where known). Channels without probes report Probe: unavailable.

Resolve names to IDs

Resolve channel/user names to IDs using the provider directory:

opensoul channels resolve --channel slack "#general" "@jane"
opensoul channels resolve --channel discord "My Server/#support" "@someone"
opensoul channels resolve --channel matrix "Project Room"

Notes:

• Use --kind user|group|auto to force the target type.
• Resolution prefers active matches when multiple entries share the same name.
