Edit Your Bot
TL;DR
Tell VibeCord what to change, and it updates your bot's code.
Iterate in small steps, then redeploy to validate.
Want to change your bot? Just tell VibeCoord what you need — no buttons or forms required.
How Editing Works
VibeCoord uses a conversational editing approach. Instead of clicking through settings, you describe what you want to change in the chat, and VibeCoord updates your bot’s code.
Making Changes
Step 1: Open Your Project
From the sidebar, click on the project you want to edit.
Step 2: Describe Your Change
In the chat, tell VibeCord what you want:
“Add a /coinflip command”
“Change the welcome message to say ‘Welcome to the family! 🎉’”
“Remove the /kick command”
Step 3: Watch VibeCord Update the Code
VibeCord will generate the updated code. You can watch the AI work in real-time:
Step 4: Review the Changes
You can see the updated files in the 📁 Files panel:
Step 5: Redeploy
After making changes, redeploy your bot for the updates to go live.

Tips for Good Edits
Be Specific
Tell VibeCoord exactly what you want:
✅ Good: “Change the welcome message to ‘Hey @username, welcome! Check out #rules first.’”
❌ Vague: “Make the welcome better”
Build on What Works
If you like something, say so:
“The /ban command is perfect. Just add a /tempban that unbans after a set time.”
One Change at a Time
For complex updates, break them into steps:
- “Add a /warn command”
- “Make /warn log to #mod-log”
- “After 3 warnings, automatically mute the user”
Reviewing Changes
View Updated Code
After each change, you can see the updated files:
- Click 📁 in the header to open the Files panel
- Look for files with recent modifications
- Click any file to review the code
Verify Commands
Check the commands/ folder to see what slash commands your bot has.
Deploying Updates
After making changes:
- Your bot needs to be redeployed for changes to take effect
- Ask VibeCoord to deploy, or use the deployment widget
- The new version replaces the old one
- Your bot stays connected to all servers — no need to re-add it
