Discord CLI (daemon mode)

What it does

This skill provides a CLI wrapper around a persistent Discord client daemon (discord.py-self) so agents or local tooling can perform Discord operations instantly without reconnect overhead. It exposes commands to send, delete, pin messages, create and manage threads, list guilds and channels, and read messages. The daemon-client architecture uses a local Unix socket for low-latency command exchange and handles auto-restart on code changes.

When to use it

Use this skill when an agent needs programmatic, low-latency access to a Discord account for tasks like automated messaging, reading channel/thread history, or lightweight moderation/administration workflows that benefit from a persistent connection. It's aimed at developer tooling and MCP-style integrations rather than public webhooks.

What's included

• Scripts: client/daemon pair (scripts/dcli.py, scripts/daemon.py) for command dispatch and lifecycle management (has_scripts=false in fetch output indicates no packaged helper scripts in repo root, but usage docs and CLI examples are provided in SKILL.md).
• References: SKILL.md includes detailed usage examples and troubleshooting notes.
• Instructions: Setup venv, populate .env with DISCORD_TOKEN, install requirements, then use scripts/dcli.py to run commands or manage the daemon. Knowledge in the SKILL.md covers message operations, thread/forum handling, time formats, and socket locations.

Compatible agents

Best matched to agent tooling that can run local Python CLIs or shell commands (Copilot-style agents, local CLI-driven agents, or any automation that can execute python scripts). Not designed as a browser UI or web service integration.
