Commands

This bot implements a few interactions (a.k.a. "slash commands"):

Command	Description
/attention	Prints an "Attention! Attention!" message
/about	Prints the bot version and invite link
/sync	Performs a full command tree sync -- This command is only available to the bot owner in the administrative guild

Runtime requirements

There are a few environment variables that can control the runtime behaviour of the bot:

Environment Variable	Description
DISCORD_TOKEN	The discord bot token to log in with
LIBOPUS_PATH	The path to the libopus library if it cannot be determined automatically by python
DISCORD_COMMAND_SYNC	Set this to any value to perform a full command tree sync on launch. This is required to perform the initial command tree sync when bootstrapping the bot. Once this is done, the /sync command in the administrative guid can be used for subsequent command tree syncs.
