Hi, before discourse-narrative-bot was merged into core, I did what was obvious to implement a custom command: fork it and implement what I wanted discobot to do, then configured the plugin from my repo, pretty simple and worked like a charm.
Now that the plugin is part of core I’m in doubt about whether to keep a branch of all the project and implement my command (something I’m not so fond of doing), or find a way to use the core codebase (which also eases site-wide administration workload) and pull my command implementation as a plugin of the plugin? Any ideas? Thanks.

What additional tricks did you teach your discobot?

Basically grab current Bitcoin price and tell how much of it you could buy with the amount of money entered as parameter, nothing particularly advanced.
