discord-reader

Read Discord for financial research through opencli connected to the Discord desktop app: servers, channels, members, recent messages in the active channel, and message search. Use this skill whenever the user wants to check their Discord, list servers or channels, read or search messages in trading, crypto, or market communities, or gauge what a Discord community is saying about a ticker or coin. Read-only: it cannot send, react to, edit, or delete messages.

Quality

Content

81%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body delivers fully executable, well-sequenced guidance with explicit status checks, setup branches, and an error-recovery diagnostics loop, plus a clearly signaled reference file. Its main weakness is redundancy: repeated setup commands and near-duplicate error tables inflate token cost without adding guidance value.

Suggestions

Merge the 'Common setup issues' table (Step 1) and the 'Error Reference' table, which cover the same failures (CDP connection refused, OPENCLI_CDP_ENDPOINT not set), into a single diagnostics table.

Remove the setup commands repeated verbatim in Step 5 Diagnostics and instead point back to Step 1's Setup section rather than restating the Discord launch command and export line.

Consolidate the three overlapping command listings (the Step 2 request table, Step 3 'General pattern', and 'Typical workflow') into one section, moving exhaustive flag combinations to references/commands.md.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient — concrete commands and tables, no explanations of concepts Claude already knows — but it could be tightened: the Step 1 setup commands are repeated verbatim in Step 5 Diagnostics, the "Common setup issues" table is nearly duplicated by the "Error Reference" table, and example commands appear in three places (Step 2 table, Step 3 "General pattern", and "Typical workflow"). Not 4: the redundancy is more than minor over-explanation, fitting the "could be tightened" anchor.

3 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands throughout ("npm install -g @jackwener/opencli", "opencli discord-app read 50 -f json", "opencli discord-app search \"AAPL earnings\" -f json") covering the common cases, plus an output-format flag table and concrete request-to-command mapping. Not 4: there are no gaps — every step from install to diagnostics has runnable commands.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear Step 1–5 sequence with explicit validation checkpoints — the status probe branches on READY/SETUP_NEEDED/NOT_INSTALLED, and "Check connection first — run opencli discord-app status before any other command" — plus a feedback loop in Diagnostics (check port, check env var, restart with CDP flag, retry). Not 4: error recovery and checkpoints are explicit, not implicit. This is a read-only skill, so the destructive/batch validation cap does not apply.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Good structure with a real, clearly signaled one-level-deep reference ("references/commands.md — Complete read command reference with all flags and usage examples"; the file exists) and a usage instruction for when to consult it. Not 5: content is not cleanly split — setup commands and basic read commands are duplicated between SKILL.md and commands.md, and the ~200-line body inlines two overlapping error tables that could live in the reference.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is exemplary: it names concrete read capabilities, an explicit "Use this skill whenever..." trigger clause with natural phrasing and domain synonyms, and a clear read-only boundary statement. It fully answers both what and when with minimal conflict risk, written in third person about the user.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete read actions with named objects — "servers, channels, members, recent messages in the active channel, and message search" — and even scopes the capability boundary explicitly ("Read-only: it cannot send, react to, edit, or delete messages"). Not 4: coverage is comprehensive with no minor gaps; every capability is concretely named rather than implied.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("Read Discord for financial research through opencli... servers, channels, members, recent messages... and message search") and when ("Use this skill whenever the user wants to check their Discord... or gauge what a Discord community is saying about a ticker or coin") with concrete trigger phrases, exactly matching the anchor-5 example pattern.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user phrasings and synonyms are comprehensively covered: "check their Discord", "list servers or channels", "read or search messages", "trading, crypto, or market communities", "ticker or coin". Not 4: the description includes domain synonyms (trading/crypto/market, ticker/coin) rather than just a few good keywords, matching the comprehensive anchor.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche — reading Discord via opencli for financial research — with distinct triggers like "check their Discord" and "ticker or coin". Not 4: it is not merely mostly distinct; the combination of the opencli tool, read-only scope, and financial-research framing leaves virtually no overlap risk with other skills.
