Discord Automation via Rube MCP

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/discord-automation from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Discord Automation via Rube MCP Automate Discord operations through Composio's Discord/Discordbot toolkits via Rube MCP.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Common Patterns, Known Pitfalls, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automate Discord tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): messages, channels, roles, webhooks, reactions. Always search tools first for current schemas.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBESEARCHTOOLS responds
2. Call RUBEMANAGECONNECTIONS with toolkit discordbot (bot operations) or discord (user operations)
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Discord auth
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
5. DISCORDLISTMY_GUILDS - List guilds the bot belongs to [Prerequisite]
6. DISCORDBOTLISTGUILD_CHANNELS - List channels in a guild [Prerequisite]
7. DISCORDBOTCREATEMESSAGE - Send a message [Required]

Imported: Core Workflows

1. Send Messages

When to use: User wants to send messages to channels or DMs

Tool sequence:

1. DISCORD_LIST_MY_GUILDS - List guilds the bot belongs to [Prerequisite]
2. DISCORDBOT_LIST_GUILD_CHANNELS - List channels in a guild [Prerequisite]
3. DISCORDBOT_CREATE_MESSAGE - Send a message [Required]
4. DISCORDBOT_UPDATE_MESSAGE - Edit a sent message [Optional]

Key parameters:

• channel_id: Channel snowflake ID
• content: Message text (max 2000 characters)
• embeds: Array of embed objects for rich content
• guild_id: Guild ID for channel listing

Pitfalls:

• Bot must have SEND_MESSAGES permission in the channel
• High-frequency sends can hit per-route rate limits; respect Retry-After headers
• Only messages sent by the same bot can be edited

2. Send Direct Messages

When to use: User wants to DM a Discord user

Tool sequence:

1. DISCORDBOT_CREATE_DM - Create or get DM channel [Required]
2. DISCORDBOT_CREATE_MESSAGE - Send message to DM channel [Required]

Key parameters:

• recipient_id: User snowflake ID for DM
• channel_id: DM channel ID from CREATE_DM

Pitfalls:

• Cannot DM users who have DMs disabled or have blocked the bot
• CREATE_DM returns existing channel if one already exists

3. Manage Roles

When to use: User wants to create, assign, or remove roles

Tool sequence:

1. DISCORDBOT_CREATE_GUILD_ROLE - Create a new role [Optional]
2. DISCORDBOT_ADD_GUILD_MEMBER_ROLE - Assign role to member [Optional]

• name: Webhook name
• content/embeds: Message content for execution

Pitfalls:

• Webhook tokens are secrets; handle securely
• Webhooks can post with custom username and avatar per message
• MANAGE_WEBHOOKS permission required for creation

5. Manage Reactions

When to use: User wants to view or manage message reactions

Tool sequence:

1. DISCORDBOT_LIST_MESSAGE_REACTIONS_BY_EMOJI - List users who reacted [Optional]

• user_id: User ID for specific reaction removal

Pitfalls:

• Unicode emojis must be URL-encoded (e.g., '%F0%9F%91%8D' for thumbs up)
• Custom emojis use name:id format
• DELETE_ALL requires MANAGE_MESSAGES permission

Imported: Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
• Active Discord connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkits discord and discordbot
• Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @discord-automation to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @discord-automation against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @discord-automation for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @discord-automation using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/discord-automation, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: Quick Reference

Imported: Common Patterns

Snowflake IDs

Discord uses snowflake IDs (64-bit integers as strings) for all entities:

• Guilds, channels, users, roles, messages, webhooks

Permission Bitfields

Permissions are combined using bitwise OR:

• SEND_MESSAGES = 0x800
• MANAGE_ROLES = 0x10000000
• MANAGE_MESSAGES = 0x2000
• ADMINISTRATOR = 0x8

Pagination

• Most list endpoints support limit, before, after parameters
• Messages: max 100 per request
• Reactions: max 100 per request, use after for pagination

Imported: Known Pitfalls

Bot vs User Tokens:

• discordbot toolkit uses bot tokens; discord uses user OAuth
• Bot operations are preferred for automation

Rate Limits:

• Discord enforces per-route rate limits
• Respect Retry-After headers on 429 responses

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
