A modular Discord bot built with Discord.js v14 and Node.js.

⚡ Slash commands · 📋 Guild event logging · 🎭 Automated role assignment

🧠 About

This project is a hands-on Discord bot built to learn discord.js v14 in practice — no boilerplate generators, no all-in-one frameworks, just modular code you can read top to bottom. It's structured the way a small production bot would be: event handlers, slash commands, and a lightweight database are all auto-loaded and organized by category, so adding a new feature usually means dropping in a single file rather than editing a giant index.js.
