Pixel

Appearance

Commands ​

Every command Pixel answers in Discord, grouped by who can use it. Each card shows the lowest tier it needs, how it replies, and any capability it needs on top.

Required options end in a colon, like device:. Optional ones are in brackets, like [topic:]. Discord lists the options as you type.

For everyone ​

Fishbot ​

Try a classic Fishbot phrase. Matching ignores case and extra spaces, but requires the whole phrase. Fish go m00!
