README (SKILL.md)
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.
Quick Search
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/\x3Cmessage-id>"
Accept Header
When making requests, the API checks for Accept: text/markdown header to return markdown format.
MCP Server (Reference)
Answer Overflow has an MCP server at https://www.answeroverflow.com/mcp with these tools:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_answeroverflow |
Search across all indexed Discord communities. Can filter by server or channel ID. |
search_servers |
Discover Discord servers indexed on Answer Overflow. Returns server IDs for filtered searching. |
get_thread_messages |
Get all messages from a specific thread/discussion. |
find_similar_threads |
Find threads similar to a given thread. |
URL Patterns
| Pattern | Example |
|---|---|
| Thread | https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/\x3Cmessage-id> |
| Server | https://www.answeroverflow.com/c/\x3Cserver-slug> |
| Channel | https://www.answeroverflow.com/c/\x3Cserver-slug>/\x3Cchannel-slug> |
Common Searches
# Find Discord.js help
web_search "site:answeroverflow.com discord.js slash commands"
# Find Next.js solutions
web_search "site:answeroverflow.com nextjs app router error"
# Find Prisma answers
web_search "site:answeroverflow.com prisma many-to-many"
Tips
- Results are real Discord conversations, so context may be informal
- Threads often have back-and-forth discussion before the solution
- Check the server/channel name to understand the context (e.g., official support vs community)
- Many open source projects index their Discord support channels here

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: it uses web_search and web_fetch to find and retrieve public Answer Overflow pages. Before installing, be aware that queries and fetched content are sent to external sites (answeroverflow.com and search engines). Avoid sending sensitive or proprietary code/snippets in queries. Note the minor metadata mismatches (ownerId/version) — these are administrative inconsistencies you may want to verify with the publisher. If you expect to use any private MCP API features, confirm whether authentication is required and how credentials would be provided (none are declared here). Otherwise this instruction-only skill is low-risk and coherent with its purpose.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: answeroverflow-1-0-2
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. The `SKILL.md` file provides instructions for an AI agent to interact with the Answer Overflow service using `web_search` and `web_fetch`. All examples and tool references are consistently directed at `answeroverflow.com` or Google searches constrained to that domain. There is no evidence of prompt injection attempts, data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, persistence mechanisms, or any other malicious behavior. The content aligns perfectly with the stated purpose of searching indexed Discord community discussions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description match the SKILL.md instructions: all guidance is about using web_search/web_fetch to find and fetch Answer Overflow pages. No credentials, binaries, or installs are required, which is appropriate for indexing public Discord content. Minor metadata inconsistencies exist: the registry metadata (ownerId and version) does not match the _meta.json contents, and the skill source/homepage are marked unknown/none while the SKILL.md lists site/docs/discord URLs — these are administrative mismatches but do not change the runtime behavior.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run web_search (Google-like site: queries) and web_fetch to retrieve markdown pages from answeroverflow.com. It does not instruct reading local files, environment variables, or unrelated system paths, nor does it direct data to unexpected endpoints. It mentions an MCP endpoint and its tools but does not include instructions that require hidden credentials or other out-of-scope actions.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — this is instruction-only. That minimizes disk writes and third-party package installation risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no primary credential, and no config paths. For a read-only search/fetch skill on public content, this is proportionate. Note: if the MCP API actually requires auth in practice, no credentials are declared here — you would need to provide them separately, but the SKILL.md does not request them.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled (always: false) and is user-invocable. disable-model-invocation is false (autonomous invocation permitted) which is the platform default and acceptable for this kind of read-only lookup skill. The skill does not request to modify agent/system configuration or persist credentials.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install answeroverflow-1-0-2 - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/answeroverflow-1-0-2 - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
