wormbot - a minimalistic IRC bot

Let's dive straight in:

Features

• rejoin on kick
• multiple channels
• modules

Module system

Every module is just an executable script in a special directory. It is called by the bot with commandline args, and it's output is piped to irc.

Example

$ cat scripts/commands.sh
#!/usr/bin/env sh

ls scripts/

So if someone writes !commands into a channel where the bot is present, the script above will get executed and the output will be seen.

Note that you can just use a prefix of the script's name and the first matching script will be used.

Configuring and Installing

Currently, this is done via editing the source of Bot.hs.

Installation via cabal-install

Assuming you have GHC and cabal-install:

$ git clone https://github.com/ibabushkin/wormbot
$ cd wormbot/
$ cabal build
$ cabal install

Now you have a binary called wormbot in your ~/.cabal/bin.
