answeroverflow

A search tool for public Discord support discussions indexed by Answer Overflow. Discord is a chat platform, and Answer Overflow makes selected community conversations searchable outside Discord.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search community solutions for coding and library problems, then retrieve the full text of matching discussion threads.
Why use it?
It helps find coding answers that may only have been discussed in a community chat rather than in official documentation or search-friendly forums.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 35 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 705 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

answeroverflow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Answer Overflow Skill

Search indexed Discord community discussions via Answer Overflow. Great for finding solutions to coding problems, library issues, and community Q&A.

What is Answer Overflow?

Answer Overflow indexes public Discord support channels and makes them searchable via Google and direct API access. Perfect for finding answers that only exist in Discord conversations.

Use web_search to find Answer Overflow results:

# Search for a topic (Answer Overflow results often appear in Google)
web_search "site:answeroverflow.com prisma connection pooling"

Fetching Thread Content

Markdown URLs

Add /m/ prefix or .md suffix to get markdown-formatted content:

# Standard URL
https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1234567890123456789

# With .md suffix (alternative)
https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1234567890123456789.md

Using web_fetch

# Fetch a thread in markdown format
web_fetch url="https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/<message-id>"

Accept Header

When making requests, the API checks for Accept: text/markdown header to return markdown format.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
