Can I use this skill to sync Discord Direct Messages (DMs)?

No, Discord bot tokens are restricted to server channels and do not have the permissions required to access private user DMs.

What permissions does the Discord bot need?

The bot must be added to your target server with the 'Read Message History' and 'View Channels' permissions enabled.

Does this skill support incremental syncing?

Yes, you can use the quick sync flag for limited messages or the custom days flag to sync specific time ranges of history.

Why use a bot token instead of a user token for syncing?

Bot tokens provide much higher rate limits and are fully compliant with Discord’s Terms of Service, making them safer and faster for large servers.

Where are the synced Discord messages stored?

Messages are saved locally in a structured Markdown format within the ./data/discord/ directory for easy processing by Claude.
