# Getting Started with Squint

Welcome to Squint, your Discord bot for server management, fun, and utility. This guide helps server administrators and moderators understand and configure Squint's features.

## Inviting Squint to Your Server

To invite Squint to your server, use the official invite link:

[Invite Squint to your server](https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1207122422642253934\&permissions=1099511627775\&response_type=code\&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fsquint.cc%2Fhelp%3Fwarn%3Dtrue\&integration_type=0\&scope=bot+applications.commands)

## Basic Setup

Squint uses prefix commands. By default, the bot's prefix is `;`. You can change this prefix using the `prefix` command.

### Changing Your Server's Prefix

To change your server's prefix, you need the **Manage Server** permission. Use the `prefix` command with your desired new prefix:

**Syntax:**

```
;prefix <newprefix>
```

**Examples:**

```
;prefix !          # Changes prefix to !
;prefix ?          # Changes prefix to ?
;prefix squint     # Changes prefix to squint
```

**Important Notes:**

* Only users with **Manage Server** permission can change the prefix
* Changes may take up to 15 seconds to take effect
* The prefix can be any text, including symbols or words

### Finding Your Server's Prefix

If you forget your server's custom prefix, you can:

1. **Use mention + prefix command:**

   ```
   @>-< prefix
   ```
2. **Use the slash command (always available):**

   ```
   /prefix
   ```

Both methods will show your current server prefix without requiring any permissions.

## Command Structure

All commands follow a similar structure:

`;command_name <maybe_required_parameter> [optional_parameter]`

* `;`: This is the default command prefix. Your server's prefix may be different.
* `<maybe_required_parameter>`: Parameters enclosed in angle brackets are often mandatory for the command to function.
* `[optional_parameter]`: Parameters enclosed in square brackets are optional and can be omitted.
