Description

It seems that Hubot is practically abandoned by Github at this point, there is a small community effort to try and keep it alive, but that is not progressing very well. botkit has a very substantial following and very active development. It would be quite nice if RocketChat could build a connector for botkit ( per howdyai/botkit#1126 they request that the platform wanting the connector start the effort ). Unfortunately, this is well beyond my JS skills.

Research direction

The issue names Botkit and references howdyai/botkit#1126, but it identifies no Rocket.Chat files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing that request and locating Rocket.Chat’s existing bot integration architecture; done means a supported Botkit connector is implemented and verified.
