 # swiftspiracy
+
+A playful Discord bot that sends random praises and (occasionally) a conspiracy theory — and cleans up after itself.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Configuration
+
+Create a `.env` file in the root of your project with the following keys:
+
+- `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`: Your bot token from the Discord developer portal.
+- `DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID`: The ID of the channel where the bot should send messages.
+
+- `SEND_MESSAGE_INTERVAL_MIN`: Minimum interval between messages (as an integer).
+- `SEND_MESSAGE_INTERVAL_MAX`: Maximum interval between messages (as an integer).
+- `SEND_MESSAGE_UNIT`: Time unit for the interval. Acceptable values: "second", "seconds", "minute", "minutes",
+  "millisecond", "milliseconds".
+
+- `DELETE_CONSPIRACY_DELAY`: Time to wait before deleting a conspiracy message. Use Go duration format (eg "3s",
+  "500ms", "1m").
+- `CONSPIRACY_PROBABILITY`: Probability (from 0.0 to 1.0) that a conspiracy message is sent after a praise. Eg, 0.4 =
+  40% chance.
+
+You can view the [.env-sample](./.env-sample) as an example.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The bot gracefully shuts down on CTRL+C.
