Can I sync private Discord DMs?

Yes, this skill uses a user token, which allows it to access and sync direct messages that standard bots are restricted from viewing.

Is the sync process slow for large servers?

The skill uses incremental sync by default to only fetch new messages since your last session, significantly speeding up subsequent runs.

Where are the synced messages stored?

Messages are saved as organized Markdown files in your local 'data' or 'dms' directory, making them easily readable by Claude or other tools.

What is the difference between this and the bot-token version?

The user token sync provides access to DMs and rich profile data (like bios), while bot tokens are limited to servers but offer higher rate limits for large-scale syncing.
