  run: async (ctx) => {
    await ctx.reply('Pong!')
  }
})

const greetSlash = slash({
  name: 'greet',
  description: 'Greet someone',
  options: [{
    name: 'user',
    description: 'User to greet',
    type: 'string',
    required: true
  }],
  run: async (ctx) => {
    const user = ctx.options.user
    await ctx.reply(`Hello, ${user}!`)
  }
})

createBot({
  prefix: '!',
  commands: [pingCmd],
  slashCommands: [greetSlash]
})

• Prefix and slash commands can be used together
• The commands and prefixCommands parameters are equivalent
• Slash commands are automatically registered to the guild on bot startup
