Based on your config, you need to set the owner in your configuration. The dmPolicy: pairing setting allows paired users to DM the bot, but if you want it to only respond to you, you need to specify yourself as the owner.

In your Clawdbot config file (~/.clawdbot/config.json5 or wherever your config is), add:

{
  owner: "your-discord-user-id",  // Your Discord user ID (838619052712132648)
  dmPolicy: "owner"  // or remove dmPolicy entirely
}

To find your Discord user ID:

  1. Right-click your username in Discord
  2. Select "Copy ID" (you need Developer Mode enabled: Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode)

The DM policy options:

  • pairing - responds to anyone who has paired with the bot
