Description

  • Chat command helptext is currently exactly what the developer writes
  • Standards for optional vs required arguments (possible to enforce?) ex. [optional] <required> (required)
  • Fallback for if no helptext is written
  • Communicate aliases somehow

Developer experience:

  • Fix #397
  • Hidden commands? (For deprecating an old command name)
