Discord Bot Architect

This gets you from zero to a production Discord bot with modern slash commands, interaction handling, and proper intent management. The Discord.js and Pycord patterns are solid, with clear examples of the critical 3-second interaction acknowledgment rule and minimal intent requests to avoid privileged permission headaches. The codebase structure separates commands and events cleanly, which scales better than cramming everything in one file. Covers the essentials like command deployment scripts, error handling in interaction flows, and cog loading for Python. If you're building a bot today, you need slash commands anyway since message content parsing is basically deprecated. The sharding and rate limiting principles are mentioned but not deeply implemented, so you'll need to level up there as you grow past a few hundred servers.
