Guide v1

/setup

Configure Fork command-role access through a reviewed recommendation or the dashboard.

Public source-edition command; execution remains conditional on installation, server policy and the running service. This reference is built from the repository, not a live Discord registration probe. The builder does not declare explicit context restrictions; handler and policy checks still apply.

/setup [mode:String]

Angle brackets indicate required input; square brackets indicate optional input. In Discord, choose the command and fill its named options, rather than typing the brackets.

Name Type Required Allowed values / bounds Default when omitted Description
mode String No fork, manual fork Choose how to configure Fork

Required native member permission(s): Administrator (Administrator normally satisfies native permission checks).

Fork role access is evaluated using the underlying setup policy key, even when the slash name is grouped. Native Discord permission checks remain separate from Fork role grants. Sensitive commands fail closed before valid setup; native Administrator bypasses Fork’s role matrix, not Discord’s bot permissions or target hierarchy. See Permission model.

/setup
Prefix equivalent and aliases
Default prefix
f!setup

Default prefix: f!; installations can configure another. Handler aliases: config, perms, permission. Aliases are prefix names, not additional slash commands.

Grouped prefix routes also delegate to the original handlers, but aliases retain that handler’s argument parsing. Conflicting aliases are rejected as ambiguous. Prefix replies are generally visible in the channel; prefer slash privacy controls for sensitive personal data.

Fork mode prepares role-access recommendations; manual mode opens Role Permissions. Opening the dashboard alone does not complete setup. Native Discord permissions are not rewritten.

Administrator permission, preflight blockers, stale recommendations or persistence failures can prevent setup. Resume the existing state instead of creating duplicate work. Check the returned error, current bot status and the relevant server permissions. A timeout or uncertain receipt is not proof that nothing happened; inspect state before repeating a mutation.

No fixed command-specific cooldown is declared in this reviewed entry. Discord rate limits, provider budgets, service admission and server policy can still apply; this is not an unlimited-usage promise.
