Tools¶

The Tools module provides specialized utility commands that integrate with external services and provide advanced functionality. These tools extend Tux's capabilities with features like documentation lookup and computational queries.

By offering powerful integrations, this module enhances your server's capabilities. From quick documentation lookups via TLDR pages to complex computational queries using Wolfram Alpha, these tools provide access to world-class resources directly from your Discord interface.

Commands¶

Common Use Cases¶

Documentation Lookup¶

Quickly find documentation for programming languages, Linux commands, and developer tools using TLDR pages.

Steps:

1. Use the /tldr command with a command name (e.g., git commit).
2. Tux will fetch the most relevant documentation and display it in an easy-to-read format.

Example:

/tldr command:git-commit
/tldr command:python-list

Computational Queries¶

Get answers to complex computational questions, unit conversions, and mathematical plots using Wolfram Alpha.

Steps:

1. Use the /wolfram command followed by your query.
2. Review the detailed results and data visualizations provided.

Example:

/wolfram query:"What is 2+2?"
/wolfram query:"plot sin(x)"
