Discord Channel Access

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Approving someone who sent a pairing code to your Discord bot
• Checking who is currently allowed to message the channel
• Switching the Discord channel between pairing, allowlist and disabled modes

Example prompts

• “Show the current Discord access status and any pending pairings.”
• “Approve the pairing request from the user who just messaged the bot.”
• “Switch the Discord DM policy to allowlist.”
• “Add the #dev-chat channel as a group that does not require a mention.”

Requirements

• The Discord channel plugin, with its state kept under ~/.claude/channels/discord
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash(ls *), Bash(mkdir *)

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Read ~/.claude/channels/discord/access.json (handle missing file).
2. 2Show: dmPolicy, allowFrom count and list, pending count with codes +

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d4226d0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Bash(ls *)
  • Bash(mkdir *)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  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 Channel Access loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 466 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~52

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.1k

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

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.
