Discord terms
Guild (Server)
A Discord guild is what most people call a server: a community space with channels, roles, and members.
Role
A role is a permission + label group you can assign to members (and bots). Role hierarchy matters for moderation and role assignment.
Intent
A Discord intent is a permission that controls what events/data your bot can receive (for example, member events or message content).
Slash command
A slash command is a command users invoke by typing / in Discord (for example, /help).
Bot token
A bot token is a secret credential (like a password) that lets your bot connect to Discord. Never share it.
VibeCord terms
Project
A project is your workspace inside VibeCord for one bot. It includes your chat history, generated code, deployments, and settings.
Build credit
A build credit is consumed when the AI generates or updates your bot’s code.
Deployment
A deployment is a running instance of your bot in the cloud.
Test deployment (Free plan)
A test deployment runs temporarily (for example, 15 minutes) so you can validate behavior before upgrading.
