Inputs

Reply to a message with .quote or provide .quote <text>. The bot removes user mentions from displayed text and uses the original author’s display name when quoting a message.

​
Limits and fallback

Generation is rate-limited to one command per user every six seconds. Server configuration sets the maximum input length (180–1,200 characters; default 720). If Pillow or media download fails, Headless tries an alternate image path and may ultimately send a plain-text quote without notifications.

​
Privacy

The renderer may download required assets from Discord CDN or URLs attached to the source message. Do not use private messages or content without permission as the source for a public quote.

​
Card appearance and use

The renderer centers quote text in the right-hand area and signs it with the author’s display name; the username and Headless Quote watermark may appear depending on configuration. The dark background can incorporate available message media. Keep quotes short for readability; use them for announcements, jokes, or memorable moments. Output can fall back to plain text when dependencies or media downloads fail.

​
.quote [text]

Also works: .q short text · .cuote short text
Respect the author’s consent and privacy when reusing content. The renderer may use attachments or stickers available on the quoted message.
