Discord Skill (Read-Only)
Reads Discord for financial research using opencli, a universal CLI tool that bridges desktop apps and web services to the terminal via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP).
This skill is read-only. It is designed for financial research: searching trading server discussions, monitoring crypto/market groups, tracking sentiment in financial communities, and reading messages. It does NOT support sending messages, reacting, editing, deleting, or any write operations.
Important: opencli connects to the Discord desktop app via CDP — no bot account or token extraction needed. Just have Discord Desktop running.
Step 1: Ensure opencli Is Installed and Discord Is Ready
Current environment status:
!`(command -v opencli && opencli discord-app status 2>&1 | head -5 && echo "READY" || echo "SETUP_NEEDED") 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"`
If the status above shows READY, skip to Step 2. If NOT_INSTALLED, install first:
# Install opencli globally
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli
If SETUP_NEEDED, guide the user through setup:
Setup
opencli requires Node.js >= 21. It connects to Discord Desktop via CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) — no Browser Bridge extension is needed for the Discord adapter. Two things are required:
- Start Discord with remote debugging enabled:
# macOS
/Applications/Discord.app/Contents/MacOS/Discord --remote-debugging-port=9232 &
# Linux
discord --remote-debugging-port=9232 &
- Set the CDP endpoint environment variable:
export OPENCLI_CDP_ENDPOINT="http://127.0.0.1:9232"
Add this to your shell profile (.zshrc / .bashrc) so it persists across sessions.
- Verify connectivity:
opencli discord-app status
Common setup issues
| Symptom | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| CDP connection refused | Ensure Discord is running with --remote-debugging-port=9232 |
| OPENCLI_CDP_ENDPOINT not set | Run export OPENCLI_CDP_ENDPOINT="http://127.0.0.1:9232" |
| status shows disconnected | Restart Discord with the CDP flag and retry |
| Discord not on expected port | Check that no other app is using port 9232, or use a different port |
Tip: create a shell alias
alias discord-cdp='/Applications/Discord.app/Contents/MacOS/Discord --remote-debugging-port=9232 &'
Step 2: Identify What the User Needs
Match the user's request to one of the read commands below, then use the corresponding command from references/commands.md.
| User Request | Command | Key Flags |
|---|---|---|
| Connection check | opencli discord-app status | — |
| List servers | opencli discord-app servers | -f json |
| List channels | opencli discord-app channels | -f json |
| List online members | opencli discord-app members | -f json |
| Read recent messages | opencli discord-app read | N (count), -f json |
| Search messages | opencli discord-app search "QUERY" | -f json |
Note: opencli operates on the currently active server and channel in Discord. To read from a different channel, the user must navigate to it in the Discord app first, or use the channels command to identify what's available.
Step 3: Execute the Command
General pattern
# Use -f json or -f yaml for structured output
opencli discord-app servers -f json
opencli discord-app channels -f json
# Read recent messages from the active channel
opencli discord-app read 50 -f json
# Search for financial topics in the active channel
opencli discord-app search "AAPL earnings" -f json
opencli discord-app search "BTC pump" -f json
Key rules
- Check connection first — run
opencli discord-app statusbefore any other command - Use
-f jsonor-f yamlfor structured output when processing data programmatically - Navigate in Discord first — opencli reads from the currently active server/channel in the Discord app
- Start with small reads — use
opencli discord-app read 20unless the user asks for more - Use search for keywords —
opencli discord-app searchuses Discord's built-in search (Cmd+F / Ctrl+F) - NEVER execute write operations — this skill is read-only. opencli exposes
discord-app sendanddiscord-app deletecommands; do not invoke them. Do not send messages, react, edit, delete, or manage server settings.
Output format flag (-f)
| Format | Flag | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Table | -f table (default) | Human-readable terminal output |
| JSON | -f json | Programmatic processing, LLM context |
| YAML | -f yaml | Structured output, readable |
| Markdown | -f md | Documentation, reports |
| CSV | -f csv | Spreadsheet export |
Typical workflow for reading a server
# 1. Verify connection
opencli discord-app status
# 2. List servers to confirm you're in the right one
opencli discord-app servers -f json
# 3. List channels in the current server
opencli discord-app channels -f json
# 4. Read recent messages (navigate to target channel in Discord first)
opencli discord-app read 50 -f json
# 5. Search for topics of interest
opencli discord-app search "price target" -f json
Step 4: Present the Results
After fetching data, present it clearly for financial research:
- Summarize key content — highlight the most relevant messages for the user's financial research
- Include attribution — show username, message content, and timestamp
- For search results, group by relevance and highlight key themes, sentiment, or market signals
- For server/channel listings, present as a clean table with names and types
- Flag sentiment — note bullish/bearish sentiment, consensus vs contrarian views
- Treat sessions as private — never expose CDP endpoints or session details
Step 5: Diagnostics
If something isn't working, check:
- Is Discord running with CDP?
# Check if the port is open
lsof -i :9232
- Is the environment variable set?
echo $OPENCLI_CDP_ENDPOINT
- Can opencli connect?
opencli discord-app status
If all checks fail, restart Discord with the CDP flag:
/Applications/Discord.app/Contents/MacOS/Discord --remote-debugging-port=9232 &
export OPENCLI_CDP_ENDPOINT="http://127.0.0.1:9232"
opencli discord-app status
Error Reference
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| CDP connection refused | Discord not running with CDP or wrong port | Start Discord with --remote-debugging-port=9232 |
| OPENCLI_CDP_ENDPOINT not set | Missing environment variable | export OPENCLI_CDP_ENDPOINT="http://127.0.0.1:9232" |
| No active channel | Not viewing any channel in Discord | Navigate to a channel in the Discord app |
| Rate limited | Too many requests | Wait a few minutes, then retry |
