Build and automate Discord integrations (bots, webhooks, slash commands, and REST API workflows). Use when the user mentions Discord, a Discord server/guild, channels, webhooks, bot tokens, slash commands/application commands, discord.js, or discord.py.

What this skill does


# Discord

Use this skill when implementing or automating Discord integrations.

## Pick the right approach

1. **Incoming webhooks (best for one-way posting)**
   - Good for CI notifications, alerts, build status, etc.
   - No bot user needed.
   - See: https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#execute-webhook

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

### Post a message via an incoming webhook (recommended)

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

```bash
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)

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

- Post to a channel using a bot token:
  ```bash
  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.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
