Discord App Setup

What it does

This skill walks an operator step-by-step through creating a Discord Application, configuring the bot user (privileged intents), generating and validating the bot token, and producing an OAuth invite URL to add the bot to a guild. It emphasizes security and order: the token is collected only via the assistant's secure credential prompt and never pasted in chat.

When to use it

Use this when you need to connect a Discord bot to an assistant or automation platform, especially when you must ensure correct privileged intents (Message Content, Server Members) and follow Discord's verification rules. Ideal for initial setup, token rotation, or onboarding bots into test or production servers.

What's included

• Scripts: the repo includes scripts for checking configuration, storing the bot token, validating the token, and printing an invite URL (has_scripts = true).
• References: troubleshooting guidance and rationale for permissions and intents (has_references = true).
• Instructions: a strict, ordered procedure (Step 0 → Step 6) detailing check-config, create app, configure bot, reset/token collection rules, validate token, invite bot, and final success checklist. Emphasizes least-privilege OAuth and secure credential handling.

Compatible agents

Designed for assistant frameworks that can prompt for secure credentials and run repository scripts (e.g., Claude Code / Vellum personal assistant tooling).
