What it does

Discord Get Messages is an agent skill from evolution-foundation/evo-nexus. Retrieve messages from Discord channels via the Discord API. Use this skill when the user wants to read, search, or analyze messages from a Discord channel.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `examples.md`).

It works with Discord. The repository describes itself as: The open source operating system for AI-powered businesses.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to read
  • Analyze messages from a Discord channel

Example prompts

  • “/discord-get-messages”

Requirements

  • A credential in DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Validate Requirements
  2. Prepare Query Parameters
  3. Make the API Request
  4. Process Response
  5. Handle Response Codes
  6. Present Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f5dd76. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • jq

    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:

    • discord.com
    • cdn.discordapp.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Discord Get Messages loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 539 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 539 words (~1,603 tokens).

“Retrieve messages from Discord channels using the Discord API v10. This skill supports pagination, filtering by message count, and retrieving message history.”
