Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/openhands/extensions --skill discord
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads discord automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Discord

Use this skill when implementing or automating Discord integrations.

Pick the right approach

  1. Incoming webhooks (best for one-way posting)

  2. Bot token + REST API (two-way / richer automation)

    • Use when you need to post as a bot, manage channels, read history, moderate, etc.
    • REST API base: https://discord.com/api/v10
    • Most REST calls use Authorization: Bot <token>.

  3. Interactions / slash commands (user-invoked commands)

    • Use application commands and interaction webhooks.
    • Typically requires running a web server to receive interactions and respond quickly.

Secrets & safety

  • Never hard-code tokens. Use environment variables:
    • DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL for incoming webhooks
    • DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN for bot REST API calls
  • Treat webhook URLs as secrets (they include a token).
  • Do not automate normal user accounts (“self-bots”). Use official bot/OAuth flows.

Footguns / safety notes (read this)

  • Webhook URLs are secrets (the token is embedded in the URL). Don’t paste them into issues, logs, CI output, or chat.
  • Mentions are dangerous by default: always set allowed_mentions to something strict (these examples use {"parse": []}) to avoid accidentally pinging @everyone / roles.
  • Watch for accidental secret logging:
    • If you build your own scripts, avoid including full webhook URLs in exception messages.
    • The bundled scripts sanitize webhook URLs in error output, but you should still avoid printing the URL yourself.
  • Rate limits: handle HTTP 429 with retry_after/Retry-After, and don’t retry forever.

Quick recipes

The shell snippets below use POSIX-style environment variables and line continuations. On Windows PowerShell, use curl.exe for the shown flags and $env:DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL / $env:DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN for environment variables, or translate the request to Invoke-RestMethod.

Post a message via an incoming webhook (recommended)

Discord requires at least one of content, embeds, components, file, or poll.

curl -sS -X POST \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"content":"Hello from OpenHands","allowed_mentions":{"parse":[]}}' \
  "$DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL"

Post a message to a channel with a bot token

Endpoint: POST /channels/{channel_id}/messages (Create Message)

CHANNEL_ID="..."

curl -sS -X POST "https://discord.com/api/v10/channels/${CHANNEL_ID}/messages" \
  -H "Authorization: Bot $DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"content":"Hello from my bot","allowed_mentions":{"parse":[]}}'

Docs: https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#create-message

Automation scripts (bundled)

These scripts are self-contained and only use the Python standard library.

  • Post to a webhook:

    python3 -m skills.discord.scripts.post_webhook --content "Build finished" --wait

  • Post to a channel using a bot token:

    python3 -m skills.discord.scripts.send_message --channel-id "$CHANNEL_ID" --content "Hello"

Rate limits

  • Don’t hard-code limits. Use Discord’s Retry-After / retry_after and rate-limit headers when present.
  • On HTTP 429, wait for the provided delay (clamp to a sane maximum, add small jitter), then retry.

Docs: https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits

Slash commands / application commands

  • Use guild commands for fast iteration (instant updates).
  • Use global commands when ready; propagation can take longer.

How do I install discord?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/openhands/extensions --skill discord in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/discord/ (personal) or .claude/skills/discord/ (project).

Which AI agents can use discord?

Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.

Is discord safe to install?

No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

Who maintains discord?

It is published by openhands in openhands/extensions. It has 58 recorded installs.
