  • The user asks to draft discord message
  • Reaches zotlit.aidenlx.site
  • Write discord announcement

What it does

Discord Announcement is an agent skill from aidenlx/zotlit. Draft a Discord announcement from a changelog entry. Use when the user asks to "draft discord message", "write discord announcement", "announce this release", or references a changelog file and wants a Discord post.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with Discord. The repository describes itself as: Bring your Zotero library into Obsidian. Create literature notes, insert citations, and annotate PDFs without leaving your vault. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to draft discord message
  • Write discord announcement
  • Announce this release
  • References a changelog file and wants a Discord post

Example prompts

  • “draft discord message”
  • “write discord announcement”
  • “announce this release”
  • “/discord-announcement”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Locate the changelog
  2. Read the entry
  3. Draft the message
  4. Write and validate the message
  5. Slop check

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 27f5752. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • zotlit.aidenlx.site

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Discord Announcement loads about 604 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 294 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~604

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Discord release announcement

Drafts a Discord message announcing a ZotLit release, derived from a changelog .mdx file.

The audience is plugin users in the ZotLit Discord server. They want to know what changed and where to read more.

Steps

1. Locate the changelog

If $ARGUMENTS names a version or file path, use it. Otherwise read apps/obsidian/package.json version and look for apps/docs/content/changelog/<version>.mdx. If neither resolves, ask.

2. Read the entry

Read the changelog .mdx file end to end. Note every section heading and its content.

3. Draft the message

Format:

ZotLit <version> is out. <one-sentence summary of the release>.

<companion line, if applicable>

https://zotlit.aidenlx.site/changelog/<version>

<sections>

The companion line depends on the frontmatter companion field. If the changelog has a companion version (Zotero add-on also updated), include: "Both Obsidian plugin and Zotero add-on have been updated, make sure to update both:". If companion is absent, omit the line entirely.

Section rules:

  • One section per changelog ## heading that has content. Use emoji prefixes: ⚠️ Breaking, ✨ Highlights, 🔗 New, 🐛 Bug fixes.
  • Each section: emoji + title line, then bullets underneath.
  • Bullets restate the user-facing change in one or two sentences. Keep template variable names and command names in backticks.
  • No @everyone or @here unless the user explicitly asks for a ping.
4. Write and validate the message

Write the draft to /tmp/discord-<version>.md. The complete Discord message must be at most 2,000 characters, including whitespace, Markdown, links, headings, and the companion line. Count the file contents after drafting. If it exceeds the limit, shorten the summary and bullets while keeping every changelog section represented. Verify the final count is at most 2,000 characters before reporting the file.

5. Slop check

Run /slop-check on the written file. Fix high and medium flags in place. Em dashes are the most common hit; split into two sentences or use a period instead.

Print the file path back to the user.
