Discord messaging via messagesend (channel=discord). An agent skill from understudy-ai/understudy.

What it does

Discord is an agent skill from understudy-ai/understudy. Discord messaging via messagesend (channel=discord). Use for outbound sends, replies, edits, reactions, deletes, and attachment sends on Discord.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Discord. The repository describes itself as: An understudy watches. Then performs. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Attachment sends on Discord

Example prompts

  • “/discord”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): message_send

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 820cac1. 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:

    • message_send

    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 loads about 641 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 158 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~641

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.

message_send

Discord (Via message_send)

Use the message_send tool. Understudy does not expose a separate provider-specific discord tool.

Musts

  • Always: channel: "discord".
  • Use the canonical message_send schema: recipient, text, threadId, replyTo, messageId, emoji, attachmentUrl, attachmentType, attachmentName, attachmentMimeType.
  • Prefer explicit ids in the recipient string when possible, for example channel:1234567890 or user:1234567890.

Guidelines

  • Avoid Markdown tables in outbound Discord messages.
  • Mention users as <@USER_ID>.
  • Keep Discord actions within the current Understudy tool surface. Do not invent unsupported fields such as components, embeds, pollQuestion, thread-create, search, or set-presence.

Targets

  • Send-like actions: recipient: "channel:<id>" or recipient: "user:<id>".
  • Message-specific actions: use messageId, and include recipient when the adapter needs target context.

Common Actions (Examples)

Send message:

json
{
  "action": "send",
  "channel": "discord",
  "recipient": "channel:123",
  "text": "hello"
}

Reply to a message:

json
{
  "action": "reply",
  "channel": "discord",
  "recipient": "channel:123",
  "replyTo": "456",
  "text": "Thanks, looking now."
}

Send with attachment:

json
{
  "action": "sendAttachment",
  "channel": "discord",
  "recipient": "channel:123",
  "text": "see attachment",
  "attachmentUrl": "/tmp/example.png",
  "attachmentType": "image",
  "attachmentName": "example.png"
}
json
{
  "action": "edit",
  "channel": "discord",
  "recipient": "channel:123",
  "messageId": "456",
  "text": "fixed typo"
}
json
{
  "action": "react",
  "channel": "discord",
  "recipient": "channel:123",
  "messageId": "456",
  "emoji": "✅"
}
json
{
  "action": "delete",
  "channel": "discord",
  "recipient": "channel:123",
  "messageId": "456"
}

If you need polls, search, thread creation, pins, moderation, or presence changes, tell the user the current Understudy tool surface does not expose those Discord-specific operations directly.

Writing Style (Discord)

  • Short, conversational, low ceremony.
  • No markdown tables.
  • Mention users as <@USER_ID>.
