Requires an existing Discord bot project set up with a Python Discord library.
Flaken is a command line tool for people building Discord bots in Python. Its main idea is to let someone drop in a ready-made chunk of bot functionality, called a flake, instead of writing that feature from scratch each time. The example given is a leveling system, a common feature where users gain experience and levels for being active in a server. A typical workflow is to install Flaken through pip, run flaken init to set up a project, then use flaken add followed by a flake's name to pull in a specific piece of functionality, such as flaken/leveling. Once added, the flake can be imported directly into the bot's Python code and registered like a normal extension. Flaken also has commands to search its registry of available flakes, list what is already installed, remove a flake, view details about one, or update everything to the newest versions. The README itself is quite short and mostly shows the install and command list rather than explaining how flakes are built, what the registry looks like, or what other flakes exist besides the leveling example. Fuller documentation is pointed to at a separate website rather than included in the repository itself. There is also an option to install a flake in a prefix only style, for bots that use text commands instead of Discord's newer slash command system, though the README does not elaborate further on what that changes in practice. The README displays a license badge linking to a LICENSE file in the repository, but it does not state in the text itself which license that is, so the exact terms are not spelled out here.
