Discord Ignore

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 13, 2026.

Overview

This skill appears to do what it says: filter selected Discord messages and temporarily cool down channels, but users should configure it carefully because it can hide messages from the agent.

This skill looks benign for Discord moderation and spam-control use. Before installing, confirm that you want it to be active at startup and that trusted users only can use /cooldown, because misconfiguration or strict cooldown thresholds can cause the agent to miss Discord messages.

Findings (3)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

An authorized user can make the agent ignore messages in a Discord channel until the cooldown expires or is turned off.

Why it was flagged

The plugin registers a Discord /cooldown command that can suppress messages in the current channel. It requires auth and matches the stated purpose, but it is still a message-flow control capability users should understand.

Skill content
api.registerCommand({ ... name: "cooldown", requireAuth: true }); ... cooldownUntilByChannelId.set(channelId, until);
Recommendation

Install only if you want Discord message filtering, and ensure only trusted users can invoke the /cooldown command.

What this means

If automatic cooldown is enabled or thresholds are too strict, bursts of Discord activity may temporarily silence a channel for the agent.

Why it was flagged

When enabled, automatic cooldown can cause later messages in the same Discord channel to be ignored after a request threshold is reached. This is disclosed and disabled by default, but it can affect multiple subsequent messages.

Skill content
Automatically put a channel on cooldown when too many requests arrive in a configured time window.
Recommendation

Leave autoCooldown disabled unless needed, or tune request count, time window, and cooldown duration to avoid accidental channel silencing.

What this means

The filtering behavior can apply whenever OpenClaw is running, not only when the user manually invokes the skill.

Why it was flagged

The plugin starts automatically with OpenClaw so it can filter messages before dispatch. This is purpose-aligned and disclosed, but users should know it operates continuously once installed.

Recommendation

Review the plugin configuration after installation and disable or uninstall it if you do not want ongoing Discord message filtering.
