What problem does it solve?

This Skill connects a self-hosted Hermes agent to Discord without manual server tinkering, while preventing unsafe open access and catching common intent or token mistakes before they cause failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Secure Discord Wiring: Stores the bot token on the remote Hermes host, enables Discord only after validation, and enforces a hard allowlist so only approved users can interact.
• Intent and Token Verification: Checks that the bot token is valid and warns when Message Content or Server Members privileged intents are not enabled in the Discord Developer Portal.
• Operational Reliability: Reloads the gateway in the correct order, verifies the connection in logs, and includes rollback steps to disable Discord safely if setup fails.
• Use Case: A team wants their Hermes agent to answer Discord messages in a shared server while keeping access restricted to specific user IDs and avoiding silent intent misconfiguration.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to connect your remote Hermes agent to Discord by collecting the bot token, allowlisted user IDs, and privileged intent settings, then complete the SSH-based setup and verification flow.
