Prefix and slash commands
Check the current prefix with.prefix; an Administrator can change it with .prefix set <new> or reset it. You can also use /prefix with new_prefix when the slash command is available. Slash commands provide each argument in a Discord field.
Arguments and mentions
In documentation,<required> and [optional] are notation: do not type the brackets. A list such as <on|off> means choose one listed value. Use Discord’s mention/selector when a command expects a member, role, or channel argument.
Durations and flags
Headless has no universal duration grammar. For example, Honeyspot accepts compact values such as60m or 1w2d, while .vanity timeout 10 means ten minutes. -- options belong only to commands that document them; type two ASCII hyphens, not an em dash —.
Syntax that is not inherited
Theselect:ID format, --do punishment sets, and another bot’s duration units are not general Headless syntax. Follow the specific command page and do not copy flags from unrelated features.
Steps
1
Open the command guide
Confirm prefix, required arguments, options, and permissions before copying an example.
2
Replace only the values
Change mentions, channel, duration, or sample text to your server’s values; do not include notation brackets.
3
Test without sanction
For moderation rules, start in a logging or preview mode if the command provides one.
Examples by syntax family
Configure an Anti-Nuke module
Change the command prefix
.prefix
.prefix set
.prefix reset
.antinuke status
Anti-Nuke channel protection
The channel module uses the same action parser as other rules.stripstaff is a supported option, and .an is the short alias for .antinuke.
