How to read commands

Every command card on the category pages follows the same format. Here's how to read it.

+ban

The command name. Swap + for whatever prefix your server uses.

<member>

A required argument inside angle brackets. Leaving it out makes the bot reply with usage help.

[reason]

An optional argument inside square brackets. The command works fine without it.

arg=value

A default value. The bot uses this if you skip the argument.

3 / 15s

Cooldown. 3 uses per 15 seconds, then the command refuses until the window resets.

Want to look up a single command in chat? Type +help <command> and Katana replies with the same details you see here: description, aliases, usage, examples.

Argument types

Katana figures out what an argument is from its type:

  • Member / user: a mention, ID, username or display name (whichever resolves first).
  • Role: a mention, ID, or name.
  • Channel: a #channel mention, ID, or name.
  • Number: plain digits.
  • Duration: natural strings like 10m, 2h30m, 1d12h.
  • Text: anything else. If a command takes a multi-word string at the end, the rest of the line is consumed as that text.
