Discord

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user mentions Discord
• A Discord server/guild
• Slash commands/application commands

Example prompts

• “/discord”

Requirements

• Python 3
• A credential in DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Incoming webhooks (best for one-way posting)
2. 2Bot token + REST API (two-way / richer automation)
3. 3Interactions / slash commands (user-invoked commands)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d008b81. 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

  Ships 4 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl
  • python3

  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

  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 loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 392 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~65

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

~1.1k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~1.8k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
