Categories

Yetibot commands can be organized under categories. In some cases, commands can be enabled or disabled according to channel settings (e.g. :fun). In the future, help might rely on categories.

Categories are stored as metadata directly on command handler functions under a :yb/cat prefix with a Set of keywords as the value.

Current known categories are as follows. Please add to this list as needed. Some categories will overlap but are semantically distinct.

See the category command code for the most up-to-date reference. Pasted here for reference:

{:img "returns an image url"
 :fun "generally fun and not work-related"
 :meme "returns a meme"
 :gif "returns a gif"
 :ci "continuous integration"
 :issue "issue tracker"
 :infra "infrastructure automation"
 :chart "returns a chart of some kind"
 :info "information lookups (e.g. wiki, wolfram, weather)"
 :repl "language REPLs"
 :util "utilities that help transform expressions or operate Yetibot"
 :crude "may return crude, racy and potentially NSFW results (e.g. urban)"
 :collection "operates on collections"
 :broken "known to be broken, probably due to an API that disappeared"}

Channel-based category toggle

Each category can be disabled or enabled at the channel level. By default all categories are enabled. To disable them, use !disable :category-name.

n.b. disabled categories are stored using the normal channel settings, so you'll see them in !room if you set them. !category is merely a convenience wrapper.

Show the list of categories and their docs:
