Introduction
Knife is a prefix-first Discord bot focused on moderation, utilities, and community tools. Most actions are triggered with the default prefix . (customizable per server).
Use the live commands catalog for an always-up-to-date list synced from the bot. This guide covers hosting expectations; command syntax lives beside each entry there.
Invite the bot
Add Knife with the bot scope (and applications.commands if you rely on other slash integrations your host documents). Vanity scanning uses prefix .vanities / .vanity only.
Place the bot role below roles it should assign and aboveroles it should manage, matching Discord's hierarchy rules.
Intents & access
Knife uses privileged intents where features require them — for example Message Content for prefix commands and Server Members for moderation and joins. Enable these in the Discord Developer Portal for your application, then re-authorize if prompted.
The dashboard surfaces guild-centric tools when you are signed in with Discord — keep your server selected when triaging settings.
