# Setup

A Guide to the prefix and setup commands.

We, as said in the description of the discord bot, we believe that customization is important part of a bot.

## %prefix

A command to change the prefix of Spike for the server.\
Not specifing a prefix will return a message containing the current's bot prefix for the guild.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Example" %}

```
%prefix [new prefix]
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Author permission level" %}
Administrator
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Bot's permission needed" %}
Send Messages
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

* The limit for the prefix is three charachters (this is made in order to keep our bot safe).

## %setup

The first command of the group, replies with all the setup informations that have already been setted.\
