What permissions does the bot need?

Depending on your use case, you should enable 'Send Messages', 'Read Messages', and specific Privileged Gateway Intents like 'Message Content' or 'Server Members' in the Discord Developer Portal.

Can I use this for simple webhooks?

While this skill supports webhooks, the specialized 'discord-webhook' skill is recommended for simpler message-only posting needs without full bot overhead.

Why are some commands wrapped in bash -c?

This is a specialized workaround for a Claude Code limitation to ensure environment variables like your bot token are not cleared when piping command output to utilities like jq.

How do I authenticate the Discord skill?

You must create a Discord Application in the Developer Portal, generate a Bot Token, and export it as an environment variable named DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN for the skill to access.

Does this skill support rich content like embeds?

Yes, it fully supports sending complex JSON payloads including embeds with titles, descriptions, and custom colors to create professional-looking bot messages.
