Discord Skill (Read-Only)
Reads Discord for financial research using discord-cli, a command-line tool that syncs Discord messages locally and provides search, analytics, and export capabilities.
This skill is read-only. It is designed for financial research: searching trading server discussions, monitoring crypto/market groups, tracking sentiment in financial communities, and exporting messages for analysis. It does NOT support sending messages, reacting, editing, deleting, or any write operations.
Important: This tool uses your Discord token extracted from a local Discord client or browser session. No bot account needed.
Step 1: Ensure discord-cli Is Installed and Authenticated
Current environment status:
!`(command -v discord && discord status 2>&1 | head -5 && echo "AUTH_OK" || echo "AUTH_NEEDED") 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"`
If the status above shows AUTH_OK, skip to Step 2. If NOT_INSTALLED, install first:
# Install (requires Python 3.10+)
uv tool install kabi-discord-cli
If AUTH_NEEDED, guide the user:
Authentication
Method A: Auto-extract from local Discord client (recommended)
discord auth --save
This extracts the token from the locally running Discord desktop app or browser session and saves it for future use.
Method B: Environment variable
export DISCORD_TOKEN="<token from browser DevTools>"
discord status
Common auth issues
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
Token not found | Open Discord desktop app or login in browser, then run discord auth --save |
Token expired / invalid | Re-login to Discord and run discord auth --save again |
Unauthorized (401) | Token is invalid — re-extract with discord auth --save |
Step 2: Identify What the User Needs
Match the user's request to one of the read commands below, then use the corresponding command from references/commands.md.
| User Request | Command | Key Flags |
|---|---|---|
| Auth check | discord status | — |
| Who am I | discord whoami | --json |
| List servers/guilds | discord dc guilds | --json |
| List channels in a server | discord dc channels GUILD_ID | --json |
| Server info | discord dc info GUILD_ID | --json |
| Server members | discord dc members GUILD_ID | --max N, --json |
| Fetch message history | discord dc history CHANNEL_ID | -n N |
| Sync messages locally | discord dc sync CHANNEL_ID | -n N |
| Sync all channels | discord dc sync-all | -n N |
| Tail (live/latest) | discord dc tail CHANNEL_ID | --once |
| Search server (API) | discord dc search GUILD_ID "QUERY" | -c CHANNEL_ID, --json |
| Search locally | discord search "QUERY" | -c CHANNEL, -n N, --json |
| Recent messages | discord recent | -c CHANNEL, --hours N, -n N, --json |
| Today's messages | discord today | -c CHANNEL, --json |
| Message stats | discord stats | --json |
| Top senders | discord top | -c CHANNEL, --hours N, --json |
| Activity timeline | discord timeline | -c CHANNEL, --hours N, --by day|hour, --json |
| Export messages | discord export CHANNEL | -f text|json, -o FILE, --hours N |
Step 3: Execute the Command
General pattern
# Use --json or --yaml for structured output
discord dc guilds --json
discord dc channels GUILD_ID --json
# Sync messages from a channel for local queries
discord dc sync CHANNEL_ID -n 1000
# Search for financial topics
discord dc search GUILD_ID "AAPL earnings" --json
discord search "BTC pump" -n 20 --json
# Recent activity
discord recent --hours 24 -n 50 --json
discord today -c CHANNEL_ID --json
Key rules
- Check auth first — run
discord statusbefore any other command - Use
--jsonor--yamlfor structured output when processing data programmatically - Sync before local queries — run
discord dc sync CHANNEL_IDbefore usingdiscord search,discord recent, etc. - Use
-n Nto limit results — start with 50–100 unless the user asks for more - Use
discord dc searchfor server-side search (no sync needed); usediscord searchfor local search (requires prior sync) - Use
--hours Nwithrecent,top,timeline, andexportto scope by time window - NEVER execute write operations — this skill is read-only; do not send messages, react, edit, delete, or manage server settings
- NEVER run
discord purge— this deletes local data and is not relevant for research
Output flags
| Flag | Purpose |
|---|---|
--json | JSON output |
--yaml | YAML output (default in non-TTY) |
-n N | Limit number of results |
-o FILE | Save output to file |
-c CHANNEL | Filter by channel |
Typical workflow for a new server
# 1. List guilds to find the server
discord dc guilds --json
# 2. List channels in the target guild
discord dc channels GUILD_ID --json
# 3. Sync messages from channels of interest
discord dc sync CHANNEL_ID -n 2000
# 4. Search or analyze
discord search "price target" -n 20 --json
discord recent -c CHANNEL_ID --hours 24 --json
discord top -c CHANNEL_ID --hours 168 --json
Step 4: Present the Results
After fetching data, present it clearly for financial research:
- Summarize key content — highlight the most relevant messages for the user's financial research
- Include attribution — show username, message content, and timestamp
- For search results, group by relevance and highlight key themes, sentiment, or market signals
- For server/channel listings, present as a clean table with names and IDs
- Flag sentiment — note bullish/bearish sentiment, consensus vs contrarian views
- For analytics (
stats,top,timeline), present activity patterns and notable contributors - Treat tokens as secrets — never echo Discord tokens to stdout
Step 5: Diagnostics
If authentication fails, re-run:
discord auth --save
discord status
Ensure Discord desktop app is running or you are logged into Discord in a browser.
Error Reference
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
Token not found | Not authenticated | Run discord auth --save with Discord open |
| HTTP 401 | Token expired/invalid | Re-login to Discord and re-extract token |
| HTTP 403 | No access to resource | Verify you have access to the server/channel |
| HTTP 429 | Rate limited | Wait a few minutes, then retry |

yfinance-data
himself65/finance-skills
Fetch financial and market data with the yfinance Python library (Yahoo Finance). Use this skill whenever the user wants stock data: current quotes and price history, financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow), options chains, dividends and splits, earnings and analyst estimates, price targets and ratings, institutional and insider holdings, news, multi-ticker comparisons, stock screens, or sector and industry data. Use it even when the user gives only a ticker symbol (AAPL, MSFT, TSLA) and the intent has to be inferred. For earnings previews or recaps, estimate revisions, valuation, correlation, liquidity, or ETF premium analysis, prefer the dedicated skill.
stock-correlation
himself65/finance-skills
Analyze how stocks move together using Yahoo Finance price history (yfinance): find correlated peers for a ticker, measure correlation, beta, and spread between specific tickers, cluster a group into a correlation matrix, and track rolling or regime-dependent correlation. Use this skill whenever the user asks what moves with a stock, what else drops when it drops, related tickers or sympathy plays, sector or supply-chain peers, pair trading or hedging pairs, beta or relative performance, correlation matrices, co-movement, or rolling/realized correlation — including well-known pairs like AMD/NVDA, GOOGL/AVGO, or LITE/COHR. With a single ticker, assume the user wants its correlated peers.
options-payoff
himself65/finance-skills
Render an interactive options payoff chart — expiry P&L plus Black-Scholes theoretical value — with sliders for strikes, premium, IV, DTE, and spot. Use this skill whenever the user describes or shares an options position or strategy and wants to see how it makes or loses money: vertical, calendar, diagonal, or ratio spreads, butterflies, condors and iron condors, straddles, strangles, covered calls, protective or naked puts, or any multi-leg structure. This includes pasted strikes, premiums, and expiries, requests like "show me the payoff" or "draw the P&L curve", and broker screenshots (IBKR, TastyTrade, Robinhood). Use it even when details are partial — defaults fill the gaps.
earnings-preview
himself65/finance-skills
Build a pre-earnings briefing for a stock from Yahoo Finance data (yfinance): the upcoming report date and timing, consensus EPS and revenue estimates with their range, the beat/miss track record, analyst ratings and price targets, and what to watch in the print. Use this skill whenever the user is preparing for an upcoming earnings report or asks what the street expects — consensus or whisper numbers, EPS expectations, whether a company will beat, an earnings setup, or an earnings-season preview — and whenever a ticker comes up in the context of upcoming earnings, even without the word "preview". For results that are already out, use earnings-recap.
earnings-recap
himself65/finance-skills
Analyze a company's most recent (or a specified past) earnings report from Yahoo Finance data (yfinance): actual vs estimated EPS, surprise size, revenue and margin trends, and the stock's price reaction. Use this skill whenever the user asks how earnings went — beat or miss, earnings surprise, quarterly results, the post-earnings move, or an earnings call recap — including casual references to a past report such as "AMZN reported last night" or "how did they do". For an upcoming report, use earnings-preview.
generative-ui
himself65/finance-skills
Design system and templates for interactive HTML/SVG visuals in Claude and Codex, using an available inline renderer or a standalone HTML file. Use this skill whenever the user wants visual or interactive output rather than plain text or markdown: charts and dashboards, diagrams, flowcharts and architecture drawings, mockups, comparison grids, illustrations, interactive explainers ("explain how X works" with a visual), or tools with sliders, toggles, and live-updating displays — including financial data shown visually and requests phrased as "show me", "visualize", "draw", or "chart this".
