Prefix & basics
How commands are triggered, and how to change it.
The prefix
Every chat command starts with the server's prefix.
The default is +, so to ban someone you type
+ban @user spam.
Admins can change it from Manage → Prefix. The prefix can be 1 to 10 characters with no leading or trailing whitespace. Pick something short that doesn't collide with other bots in your server.
Mentioning the bot
Mentioning Katana ✨ always works as a prefix, regardless of what's
configured. @Katana ✨ ping is a guaranteed way to
invoke any command even when you've forgotten the prefix or the bot
role has been renamed.
@Katana ✨ help.
Prefixless aliases
Admins can register prefixless aliases. These are
single shortcuts that don't need any prefix at all. Once you wire
b up as an alias for +ban, members can
just type b @someone and it works.
Manage them per-command from the gear icon on each command card in
Manage → Commands. Up to 50 aliases per server.
Names follow [a-z0-9_-]{1,32} and can't collide with an
existing command.
Toggles
Admins can disable any individual command or an entire category from
Manage → Commands. Disabled commands stay
visible in +help but politely refuse to run for
non-admins. Useful for trimming Katana down to just the slice your
server actually uses.
