An agent harness is software that can install the skill, run Python commands, and present results to the user. It needs Python 3.10 or newer, a Discord desktop client on the same machine, and read access to that client's cache directory. It is free under the MIT license. This listing delivers the complete package, including the Python scripts.\r\n\r\nThe local-only CLI scans cached message response URLs, decompresses supported gzip and zstd streams, parses cached JSON arrays, deduplicates messages by identifier, groups them by channel, and sorts them chronologically. Scan produces a channel summary and writes nothing. --channel filters summaries and exports after the whole selected cache has been scanned and parsed; it does not restrict cache reads to selected channels. Export is approval-gated: dry-run previews creation of --out itself if missing and records a digest of the fully resolved path, output and parent directory identities (st_dev, st_ino), and exact rendered plan inside it, the harness confirms the output and channel scope with the user, and a live export refuses to write anything unless that approval exists and still matches a fresh scan. Dry-run resolves --out once with os.path.realpath, shows and binds that path, and permits existing symlink prefixes; live mode uses the stored resolved path. Dry-run also fchmods an existing empty output directory to 0700 for privacy. The parent must already exist; no directories above --out are created. Scan defaults support macOS, Windows, and Linux. Export (including dry-run) supports macOS and Linux with os.O_NOFOLLOW, os.O_DIRECTORY, and os.open in os.supports_dir_fd; unsupported platforms, including Windows, are refused before any export write. All export writes use verified directory descriptors and exclusive no-follow opens; live mode compares opened directory identities from os.fstat with the approved digest before any mutation and refuses changed identities or symlinks in resolved components. The resulting messages.json retains cached message objects, while transcripts render one header line per message (timestamp, display name, first content line) and mark every further content line with four spaces and a bar, so message text cannot imitate another speaker.\r\n\r\nCache coverage is opportunistic and can never be assumed complete. The cache is a snapshot: a message deleted or edited in Discord after it was cached can still appear in its cached form, and the tool cannot tell. The tool uses the Python standard library only; zstd streams need Python 3.14 or newer. Unreadable files or skipped zstd streams mark the result incomplete and produce exit status 2 unless the user explicitly accepts partial coverage. The tool reads no account token, makes no network request, and never accesses another machine. Recovered content can include other people's private messages, so it should remain local and be treated as untrusted data rather than instructions.\r\n\r\nWhen complete history is required, use Discord Settings, Data & Privacy, Request all of my Data.","intended_users":"People who need an agent harness to inspect or export the partial message snapshot retained in their own Discord desktop client's local cache, without account credentials or network access.","example_tasks":"Scan my local Discord desktop cache and summarize the channels it retained.\r\nReturn the scan summary as structured JSON.\r\nPreview the exact export files and record an approval digest before writing them.\r\nExport only the channel identifiers I selected to a local directory I chose.\r\nCreate a grouped JSON export and one readable transcript per selected channel.\r\nReport unreadable files and skipped zstd streams as a partial result.\r\nExplain how to request complete history through Discord's own data request.","setup_instructions":"Copy the skill folder into the skills directory used by the agent harness and keep scripts/ beside SKILL.md. Run commands from the skill directory with Python 3.10 or newer.\r\n\r\nStart with a read-only scan:\r\npython3 scripts/discord_cache_export.py scan\r\n\r\nChoose the client with --client discord, discordptb, or discordcanary, or supply the exact cache directory with --cache-dir PATH. The resolved directory is printed on stderr.\r\n\r\nReview the channel identifiers, choose a new or empty output directory outside the skill directory, with an existing parent, then preview the exact write set:\r\npython3 scripts/discord_cache_export.py export --out \"/path/to/export\" --channel CHANNEL_ID --dry-run\r\n\r\nDry-run resolves --out once with os.path.realpath, shows and binds that path, permits existing symlink prefixes, and writes only approval state inside it. It creates --out if missing or fchmods an existing empty output directory to 0700 for privacy; no directories above --out are created. The digest binds the fully resolved output path, output and parent directory identities (st_dev, st_ino), and rendered plan. After confirming the digest, path, identities, and scope, repeat the command without --dry-run. A live export without that matching approval state is refused and writes nothing. Live mode uses the stored resolved path; both modes refuse symlinks in resolved components; changed identities are refused before any live write; preview and confirm changed plans again. Repeat --channel to select more channels. Use Python 3.14 or newer when zstd coverage is needed; no package installation is required.","limitations":"This tool recovers only the opportunistic subset retained in the local desktop client's HTTP cache. Cache eviction, browsing history, unsupported compression, unreadable files, messages deleted before caching, and API changes can reduce coverage. The cache is a snapshot: a message deleted or edited in Discord after it was cached can still appear, in its cached form, in the export, and the tool cannot tell. It cannot distinguish every direct-message channel from every server channel reliably. For complete history, use Discord Settings, Data & Privacy, Request all of my Data.\r\n\r\nThe tool uses the Python standard library only. Gzip works with Python 3.10 or newer. Zstd coverage needs Python 3.14 or newer (compression.zstd); on older versions zstd streams are skipped and the result is incomplete, as is any failed decoding. Cache files larger than 128 MiB and decompressed candidates larger than 64 MiB are counted as unreadable.\r\n\r\nExport (including dry-run) requires supported no-follow directory-descriptor operations (macOS and Linux; Windows is refused). The output parent must already exist. The output directory must be new or empty so stale transcripts cannot survive a narrower export. The tool never reads account tokens, contacts the network, or accesses another machine. Exported files contain other people's messages and must be kept local.\r\n\r\nVersion 0.1.2 is an early release with no support commitment; fixes and updates ship as new package versions on this listing.","data_handling":"The CLI reads only regular non-symlink files directly inside the selected local Discord desktop cache directory. --channel filters summaries and exports after the whole selected cache has been scanned and parsed; it does not restrict cache reads to selected channels. It does not recurse, read Local Storage or account tokens, contact the network, or send telemetry.\r\n\r\nDry-run may create --out itself and writes approval state there; its parent must already exist, and no directories above --out are created. The digest binds the fully resolved destination, destination and parent directory identities (st_dev, st_ino), and rendered plan. Dry-run resolves --out once with os.path.realpath, shows and binds that path, and permits existing symlink prefixes. Both modes walk resolved components with no-follow directory descriptors and refuse later symlinks. Live mode uses the stored path and compares os.fstat identities of opened parent and output directories with the approved digest before any mutation; files use O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW relative to the verified descriptor. A parent replaced by a symlink after approval is refused before any export write. Scan defaults support macOS, Windows, and Linux. Export (including dry-run) supports macOS and Linux with os.O_NOFOLLOW, os.O_DIRECTORY, and os.open in os.supports_dir_fd; unsupported platforms, including Windows, are refused before any export write. On macOS and Linux new directories use mode 0700 and files mode 0600; dry-run also fchmods an existing empty output directory to 0700 for privacy.\r\n\r\nRecovered content can contain other people's private messages. Keep it local.
