Making Changes to Your Bot
TL;DR
Describe what you want to change in chat.
VibeCord updates your code so you can redeploy and test.
Changed your mind? Want to add features? VibeCord makes it easy to update your bot through conversation.
How Changes Work
VibeCord uses a conversational approach to editing. Just type what you want to change in the chat, and VibeCord will update your bot’s code.
Making Incremental Changes
For most updates, simply describe what you want in the chat:
Adding features:
“Add a /coinflip command that randomly picks heads or tails”
Modifying behavior:
“Change the welcome message to say ‘Welcome to the family! 🎉’”
Removing features:
“Remove the /kick command”
VibeCord will:
- Process your request
- Update the relevant code files
- Show you the changes in the Files panel
After making changes, redeploy for updates to take effect.
Full Regeneration (New Project)
For major overhauls — like completely changing what your bot does — create a new project instead:
- Click + New Project in the sidebar
- Describe your new bot from scratch
- Deploy the new bot
Tips for Making Changes
Build on What You Have
Add new features to your existing bot:
“Add a /help command that lists all available commands”
“The welcome message is good — also add a /rules command that shows server rules”
Be Specific
Tell VibeCord exactly what you want:
✅ Good: “Add a /ban command that only mods can use, and log it to #mod-log”
❌ Vague: “Add moderation”
One Step at a Time
For complex updates, break them into smaller requests:
- “Add a /warn command”
- “Make /warn log to #mod-log”
- “After 3 warnings, automatically mute the user”
Testing Your Changes
After updating your bot:
- Redeploy — Tell VibeCord to deploy or use the deployment widget
- Test in Discord — Try your commands in your server
- Check new features — Make sure additions work as expected
- Verify existing features — Confirm nothing else broke
