Adding a Bot

We're selective about which bots we run. Each bot is a potential security surface, a source of channel noise, and something the team has to maintain awareness of. That means we don't add bots casually.

Before You Propose

Ask yourself: does this bot do something the server genuinely needs, that isn't already covered by a bot we have? If yes, go ahead. If it's a nice-to-have, the bar is higher.

Proposal Process

1. 01Post in #suggestions (through /suggest command) with the bot name, a link to its documentation or source, and a clear explanation and/or image of what it does and why it's useful.
2. 02Community members can react and comment under the suggestion thread.
3. 03The admin team reviews the proposal, checks permissions and security, and votes internally.
4. 04If approved, the bot is added with non-dangerous permissions. The proposer is credited in the announcement.

Requirements

• Open source.
• No excessive permissions.
