# IRC Command Reference

This document covers everything available to IRC users when interacting with the Kosmi-IRC relay bot. All commands and vote syntax work in any channel the bot is present in.

## Commands

Commands are typed as regular messages in IRC. They are **not** relayed to other bridges -- the bot consumes them and acts on them directly.

There is no permission system; any user in the channel can issue any command.

### `!kreconnect`

Force-reconnect the Kosmi bridge. Useful if the Kosmi WebSocket has silently dropped.

**Response:** `Reconnecting Kosmi...` (sent to the channel immediately)

The reconnection happens asynchronously. If it fails, errors appear only in the bot's logs.

### `!jreconnect`

Force-reconnect the Jackbox Game Picker WebSocket. Only meaningful if the Jackbox integration is enabled.

**Response:** `Reconnecting Jackbox...`

### `!reconnect`

Reconnect all non-IRC services (Kosmi and Jackbox) at once.

**Response:** `Reconnecting all services...`

### `!votes`

Query the current vote tally for the game being played right now in the active Jackbox session.

**Response** (broadcast to all bridges -- IRC, Kosmi, etc.):

```
🗳️ Fibbage 4 • Today: 5👍 2👎 (Score: 3) • All-time: 46👍 3👎 (Score: 43)
```

**Requirements:**
- Jackbox integration must be enabled
- An active Jackbox session must exist
- A game must currently have status "playing" in that session

If any of these conditions are not met, the command is silently consumed (errors appear only in bot logs).

## Voting

Vote detection runs automatically on every non-relayed message. Votes are sent to the Jackbox Game Picker API when the integration is enabled and a session is active.

### Current Game Votes

Type anywhere in a message:

| Syntax | Effect |
|--------|--------|
| `thisgame++` | Upvote the currently playing game |
| `thisgame--` | Downvote the currently playing game |

- Case-insensitive (`ThisGame++`, `THISGAME++`, etc. all work)
- Can appear anywhere in the message text
- The message is still relayed to other bridges as normal chat

### Ticker Symbol Votes

Vote on a specific game by its ticker symbol:

| Syntax | Effect |
|--------|--------|
| `SYMBOL++` | Upvote the game identified by SYMBOL |
| `SYMBOL--` | Downvote the game identified by SYMBOL |

- Symbols are 2-4 alphanumeric characters
- Case-insensitive (`qpl3++` and `QPL3++` are equivalent)
- The symbol must exist in the ticker table below
- The message is still relayed to other bridges as normal chat

## Behavior Notes

### Loop Prevention

Messages that begin with `[irc]` or `[kosmi]` (case-insensitive) are treated as relayed from another bridge. Vote detection is skipped for these messages to prevent duplicate votes when the same text passes through multiple bridges.

### Command vs. Vote Processing Order

1. Vote detection runs first (on all non-relayed messages)
2. `!` commands are checked next
3. If the message is a `!` command, it is consumed and **not** relayed
4. If the message is not a command, it is relayed to other bridges

This means a vote phrase in a normal message (like "nice game thisgame++") both registers the vote and gets relayed. But `!votes` only triggers the votes query -- it is not relayed.

### What IRC Users See from Other Bridges

| Source | Format |
|--------|--------|
| Kosmi user message | `[kosmi] <username> message text` |
| Jackbox game announcement | System message (e.g. `🎮 Coming up next: Fibbage 4!`) |
| Jackbox room code | System message with room code (may include image link) |
| `!votes` result | `🗳️ Title • Today: X👍 Y👎 (Score: Z) • All-time: X👍 Y👎 (Score: Z)` |
| Reconnect confirmation | Plain text from "system" (e.g. `Reconnecting Kosmi...`) |

The `[kosmi]` prefix format is configurable via `RemoteNickFormat` in `matterbridge.toml`.

### Requirements for Jackbox Features

All Jackbox-related functionality (votes, `!votes`, game announcements, room codes) requires:

1. `[jackbox]` section in config with `Enabled=true`
2. Valid `APIURL` and `AdminPassword`
3. An active Jackbox session on the API
4. A game currently being played (for `!votes` and vote detection)

When the Jackbox integration is disabled or no session is active, vote syntax is ignored and `!votes` produces no output.
