Activity Notifier

Broadcast real-time agent activity to Discord channel.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when:

• Starting a long-running task (installing skills, downloading files, etc.)
• Waiting for rate limits or external APIs
• Running multiple sequential operations
• User might think you're stuck or buggy

Activity Types

Usage Examples

// Send activity update
message({
  action: "send",
  channel: "discord",
  to: "channel:1477516155655688306",
  message: "⏳ **Activity Update**\n\nInstalling 6 skills... (waiting for rate limit)"
})

Guidelines

• Be concise — short updates, not novels
• Use emoji — visual scanning is faster
• Include progress — "3/6 installed" is better than "installing..."
• Don't spam — only for tasks >5 seconds
• Final summary — always send completion message

Configuration

Optional: Set ACTIVITY_CHANNEL_ID in environment to override default channel.
