For server owners

Admin controls

Coral works out of the box the moment you add it. When you want to tune it, every feature is a slash-command toggle: mute a channel, turn features on or off, opt into trending auto-posts or idle games.

Who can run these

Admin commands are admin-only. On Discord you need the Manage Channels permission; on Telegram you must be a chat admin. /play is the exception: anyone can start a game where games are enabled. Changes take effect shortly (within about 5 minutes).

Every admin command at a glance

Coral is ready the moment you add it. Out of the box it cards tickers, answers Ask Coral, archives chat, and records intel. Most servers never change a thing. The full set of levers:

CommandWhat it does
/silent on|offPer-channel. Mute Coral’s $TICKER auto-replies in the current channel (slash commands + reactions still work).
/ask-coral on|offServer-wide. The conversational @-mention / /ask answers. Default on.
/coral-archive on|offServer-wide. Chat archiving (powers caller tracking + trending). Default on.
/coral-intel on|offServer-wide. Community intel signals. Default on.
/trending-autopost [type] on|offPer-channel, opt-in. Idle-fill trending cards when the channel is quiet. Types: tokens, list, tips. Default off.
/games [type] on|offPer-channel, opt-in. Idle games. Types: trivia, emoji, counting, hilo, ticker, wordle (or autoprompt). Default off.
/play [game]Anyone (not admin-only). Start a game in a games-enabled channel.
/raid <x-link> …Rally the community on an X post. See the Raids page for options.

Telegram vs Discord naming

Telegram uses underscores, Discord uses hyphens: /ask_coral vs /ask-coral, /trending_autopost vs /trending-autopost. /games, /play, and /silent are the same on both.

The basics

Quiet a noisy channel

/silent onmutes Coral's auto-replies in the current channel. Handy if another bot already cards tickers there. /silent off brings it back.

Everything is a toggle

Server-wide features (/ask-coral, /coral-archive, /coral-intel) are all on by default and reversible at any time.

Trending auto-posts (opt-in)

Off by default. Run /trending-autopost on in the channel you want Coral to post in, and when that channel goes quiet Coral drops an idle-fill card. It posts to the channel you ran the command in; run it again elsewhere to move the target.

CommandWhat it does
/trending-autopostToggle all trending auto-posts on or off in this channel.
/trending-autopost on|offEnable or disable every card type.
/trending-autopost <type> on|offToggle one card type: tokens, list, or tips.e.g. /trending-autopost list off

Three card types, each toggleable:

  • tokens. The default: a single trending token card, the bulk of the rotation.
  • list.An occasional “Trending” top-list (at most a couple a day, only when there's fresh data).
  • tips. An occasional Coral how-to card surfacing features like $rand, /chart, and the card reaction buttons.

Idle games (opt-in)

Keep a slow channel alive

Off by default. /games on in a channel turns on light games people can play solo or together: trivia, emoji guess, counting, hi-lo, guess-the-ticker, and a wordle. Anyone starts one with /play.
CommandWhat it does
/gamesToggle all games on or off in this channel.
/games on|offEnable or disable every game type.
/games <game> on|offToggle one game: trivia, emoji, counting, hilo, ticker, or wordle.e.g. /games trivia on
/games autoprompt on|offWhether Coral offers a game when the channel is quiet. On by default once games are on.
/play [game]Anyone can start a game. Omit the game for a random enabled one.

Examples

/games on turns on every game. /games wordle off turns just wordle off. /games autoprompt off keeps games on-demand only (no nudges). /play trivia starts trivia now.
