Full skill instructions

Discord Read

Read locally synced Discord messages and search for specific content.

When to Use

  • User asks "what's in #channel"
  • User asks about recent Discord conversations
  • User wants to search Discord messages
  • User asks "show me messages from Discord"
  • User wants to find specific Discord discussion

How to Execute

Read all messages from a channel:

python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/​tools/​discord_read.py --channel CHANNEL_NAME

Read last N messages:

python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/​tools/​discord_read.py --channel general --last 20

Search for keyword:

python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/​tools/​discord_read.py --channel general --search "project update"

Filter by date range:

python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/​tools/​discord_read.py --channel general --from 2026-01-01 --to 2026-01-03

Read from specific server:

python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/​tools/​discord_read.py --channel general --server SERVER_ID

Alternative: Direct File Read

For simpler access, first check what data exists using the manifest:

python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/​tools/​discord_manifest.py

Then read the markdown file directly (paths from manifest are relative to cwd):

cat ./​data/​{server_id}/​{channel_name}/​messages.md

Output Format

Messages are formatted in Markdown with:

  • Date headers (## YYYY-MM-DD)
  • Message headers (### Time - @author)
  • Reply indicators (↳ replying to @user)
  • Attachments and embeds
  • Reactions

Prerequisites

  • Messages must be synced first using discord-sync skill
  • Channel name must match synced channel (case-insensitive)

Error Handling

If messages are not found, the tool suggests running sync first.
