Read-only Discord skill for financial research using opencli.
Reads Discord for financial research — reading trading server messages, searching for market discussions, monitoring crypto/market groups, and tracking sentiment in financial communities. Capabilities include:
- Servers — list all joined servers
- Channels — list channels in the active server
- Messages — read recent messages from the active channel
- Search — find messages by keyword in the active channel
- Members — list online members in the active server
This skill is read-only. It does NOT support sending messages, reacting, editing, deleting, or any write operations.
No bot account or token extraction needed — opencli connects to Discord Desktop via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). Just have Discord running with --remote-debugging-port=9232.
- "check my Discord", "search Discord for", "read Discord messages"
- "what's happening in the trading Discord", "show Discord channels"
- "Discord sentiment on BTC", "what are people saying in Discord about AAPL"
- "monitor crypto Discord", "list my servers"
- Any mention of Discord in context of financial news or market research
Works on Claude Code and other CLI-based agents. Does not work on Claude.ai — the sandbox restricts network access and binaries required by opencli.
