Discord Operations

Use HybridClaw's message tool for Discord work. This skill is for actions, not long-form catchups.

Use Cases

• read recent channel traffic before replying
• send or edit a message in a specific channel
• react with a status emoji
• pin or unpin an important message
• create or reply inside a thread
• inspect channel or member information

Working Rules

• Prefer explicit numeric guildId, channelId, messageId, and userId values.
• If the user gives a channel name, include guildId so the tool can resolve it safely.
• Read first, act second.
• Alert and webhook messages (Monit, CI, deploy bots) usually have an empty content and carry their payload in embeds. read returns an embeds array per message (title, description, url, timestamp, author.name, footer.text, and fields[].name/fields[].value) — check it before concluding a message is empty. It is capped at 5 embeds per message and 10 fields per embed.
• Keep outbound Discord copy short and conversational.
• Do not use markdown tables in Discord messages.
• Confirm before deleting, mass-posting, or editing a message that materially changes meaning.

Common Patterns

Read recent messages:

{"action":"read","channelId":"1234567890","guildId":"9876543210","limit":20}

Send a message:

{"action":"send","channelId":"1234567890","guildId":"9876543210","content":"Status update: the migration finished cleanly."}

React to a message:

{"action":"react","channelId":"1234567890","guildId":"9876543210","messageId":"112233445566","emoji":"white_check_mark"}

Pin a message:

{"action":"pin","channelId":"1234567890","guildId":"9876543210","messageId":"112233445566"}

Create a thread from a message:

{"action":"thread-create","channelId":"1234567890","guildId":"9876543210","messageId":"112233445566","name":"Release follow-up"}

Reply in a thread:

{"action":"thread-reply","channelId":"1234567890","guildId":"9876543210","messageId":"998877665544","content":"I checked the logs and the alert is resolved."}

Decision Rules

• If the user wants a summary of channel activity, use channel-catchup.
• If the user wants to quote or answer a specific message, read the surrounding context first.
• If the user asks to notify a team broadly, draft the message and confirm before sending.
• For user mentions, prefer known Discord IDs over guessing display names.
