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
#channelmention, 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.
