What it does

Answeroverflow is an agent skill from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot. Search indexed Discord community discussions via Answer Overflow. Find solutions to coding problems, library issues, and community Q&A that only exist in Discord conversations.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `.clawhub/origin.json` and `_meta.json`).

It works with Discord and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: One agent. Every kind of work. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/answeroverflow”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b50970c. 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 (its code samples are bash).
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:
- answeroverflow.com
Also links to:
- docs.answeroverflow.com
- discord.answeroverflow.com
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

Answeroverflow loads about 740 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 219 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~740

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.

Quick Search

Use web_search to find Answer Overflow results:

bash

# Search for a topic (Answer Overflow results often appear in Google)
web_search "site:answeroverflow.com prisma connection pooling"

Fetching Thread Content

Markdown URLs

Add /m/ prefix or .md suffix to get markdown-formatted content:

# Standard URL
https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1234567890123456789

# With .md suffix (alternative)
https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1234567890123456789.md

Using web_fetch

bash

# Fetch a thread in markdown format
web_fetch url="https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/<message-id>"

Accept Header

MCP Server (Reference)

Answer Overflow has an MCP server at https://www.answeroverflow.com/mcp with these tools:

Tool	Description

web_search "site:answeroverflow.com discord.js slash commands"

# Find Next.js solutions
web_search "site:answeroverflow.com nextjs app router error"

# Find Prisma answers
web_search "site:answeroverflow.com prisma many-to-many"

Tips

Results are real Discord conversations, so context may be informal
Threads often have back-and-forth discussion before the solution
Check the server/channel name to understand the context (e.g., official support vs community)
