 # TARS
-A discord bot for a private discord server
+T.A.R.S. is a Discord bot for a private server with moderation, utility, and light recreational tooling.
+
+## Features
+- Moderation and safety: auto-moderation hooks, reports, lock/slowmode tools, and a configurable banned-word list.
+- Utility automation: reminders, message quoting, and server/user diagnostics.
+- Community engagement: chat revive prompts, MOTD rotation, and fun commands like dice and 8-ball.
+- Boost points: reward boosters and let them redeem perks through a simple shop flow.
+
+## Quick Start
+1. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+2. Configure environment variables:
+   - `DISCORD_TOKEN`
+   - `OWNER_ID`
+   - `GUILD_ID`
+   - `OPENAI_API_KEY` (optional, required for AI replies and revive prompts)
+3. Run the bot:
+   ```bash
+   python tars_bot.py
+   ```
+
+## Command Highlights
+### Moderation
+- `/tarsreport` — report a user to staff.
+- `/clean` — delete the last N messages (admin only).
+- `/lock` / `/unlock` — lock or unlock a channel (admin only).
+- `/slowmode` — set a channel slowmode delay (admin only).
+- `/addbannedword` / `/removebannedword` / `/listbannedwords` — manage banned words.
+
+### Utility & Diagnostics
+- `/tars` — command console and categorized help.
+- `/userinfo` / `/roleinfo` / `/serverinfo` — quick info commands.
+- `/status` — show system health.
+- `/remindme` — set reminders with flexible durations (e.g. `1h 30m`).
+- `/reactionrole` — create a reaction role (admin only).
+- `/setmotd` — set MOTD channel (owner only).
+- `/motd_add` / `/motd_remove` / `/motd_list` — manage the MOTD rotation (owner only).
+
+### Recreational
+- `/8ball` — ask the magic 8-ball.
+- `/dice` — roll dice with optional modifiers (e.g. `2d6+1`).
+- `/quote` / `/getquote` — save and retrieve memorable quotes.
+
+## Notes
+- MOTD messages rotate hourly when configured.
+- The AI subsystem can be disabled automatically if too many errors occur in a short window.
