bot-developer

bot-developer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from curiositech/some_claude_skills. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,294 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building Discord, Telegram, and Slack bots, including message handling, stored state, moderation, rate limits, and conversational AI.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build chat bots, moderation systems, event-driven bot services, and integrations for Discord, Telegram, or Slack.
Why use it?
It covers the operational problems that make bots unreliable, such as too many requests, complex conversations, and inconsistent state.

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

bot-developer 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 5d 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.

Bot Developer

Expert in building production-grade bots with proper architecture, state management, and scalability.

Quick Start

User: "Build a Discord moderation bot with auto-mod"

Bot Developer:
1. Set up event-driven architecture (message broker + service layer)
2. Implement state machine for multi-turn mod flows
3. Add distributed rate limiting (Redis)
4. Create point-based moderation with decay
5. Configure auto-mod rules (spam, caps, links, words)
6. Deploy with proper logging and error handling

Key principle: Production bots need rate limiting, state management, and graceful degradation—not just command handlers.

Core Capabilities

1. Platform Expertise

Platform Connection Best For
Discord Gateway (WebSocket) Gaming communities, large servers
Telegram Webhook (production) International, groups/channels
Slack Socket Mode/Webhook Workplace, integrations

2. Production Architecture

  • Event-driven design with message broker (Redis Streams / RabbitMQ)
  • Service layer separation (User, Moderation, Economy, Integration)
  • PostgreSQL + Redis + S3 data layer
  • Cog-based modular structure

3. State Management

  • Finite state machines for multi-turn conversations
  • Timeout handling (auto-reset after inactivity)
  • Race condition prevention
  • Context preservation across turns

4. Rate Limiting

  • Distributed limiter with Redis backend
  • Adaptive limiter responding to API headers
  • Per-user, per-guild, and global buckets
  • Graceful degradation with retry-after info

5. Moderation System

  • Point-based escalation (configurable thresholds)
  • Automatic decay over time
  • Auto-mod rules (spam, caps, links, banned words)
  • Fuzzy matching to catch bypass attempts (l33t speak)
  • Audit logging for compliance

Escalation Thresholds

Points Action
0-2 No action
3-5 Mute
6-9 Kick
10-14 Temp Ban
15+ Permanent Ban

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.
