Discord News Skill

Posts formatted news messages to the configured Discord channel via browser automation.

Configuration

• Server: YOUR_SERVER_NAME
• Channel: YOUR_CHANNEL_NAME
• Channel URL: https://discord.com/channels/YOUR_SERVER_ID/YOUR_CHANNEL_ID
• Post language: YOUR_POST_LANGUAGE (e.g. English or German)

Workflow

Step 1: Extract the article

Fetch the content of the shared link with your web fetch tool, or navigate to the URL in the browser. Extract:

• the article's title
• the main message (2–3 sentences)
• the key points (3–6 bullet points)
• the original URL (for the link at the end)

Step 2: Navigate to the Discord channel

Navigate to the channel URL:

https://discord.com/channels/YOUR_SERVER_ID/YOUR_CHANNEL_ID

Wait until Discord has fully loaded. If a login is required, tell the user and wait.

Step 3: Find the input field

Use the browser's find tool (find in Claude in Chrome) with a natural-language description such as:

• "message input field in the Discord channel"
• "text box for writing a message"

Click the field to focus it.

Step 4: Type the message

⚠️ CRITICAL: line breaks in Discord Discord sends the message on Enter. Line breaks must use Shift+Enter. Never put \n into a string. Type each line separately and end it with Shift+Enter.

Write the message in the configured post language and type it line by line in this format:

[Emoji] **Bold title** [optional emoji]
[Shift+Enter]
[Shift+Enter]
One or two sentences summarizing the article.
[Shift+Enter]
[Shift+Enter]
• Key point 1
[Shift+Enter]
• Key point 2
[Shift+Enter]
• Key point 3
[Shift+Enter]
[more bullet points if needed]
[Shift+Enter]
[Shift+Enter]

Emoji choice (pick one that fits the topic):

• 🔴 Breaking news / important alert
• 🤖 AI / tech
• 💼 Business / economy
• 🔒 Security / privacy
• 🚀 Startups / launches
• 🌍 Politics / society
• 💡 Innovation / science

Formatting rules:

• Title in **bold** (two asterisks)
• Bullet points with the • character
• At most 6 bullet points; keep them concise
• Summary: 1–2 sentences, no jargon
• Always put the URL at the end as plain text (not a Markdown link)
• The whole message must stay under Discord's limit of 2,000 characters

Step 5: Screenshot and confirmation

Take a screenshot that shows the finished message in the input field. Show it to the user and ask:

"The message is ready. Should I send it now?"

Wait for an explicit yes. Never send automatically.

Step 6: Send and confirm

Only after an explicit "yes" / "send" / "go":

1. Press Enter to send the message
2. Wait briefly until the message appears
3. Take a final screenshot as confirmation
4. Tell the user: "✅ Posted!"
