Display all commands. Does it make sense to put it in a code block for scrolling?
Possibility to query only a selection (e.g. '!help imninja' displays all commands under '!imninja')

My idea would be a generic hard-coded help text that doesn't cover commands but basic bot usage. From there we could refer to command specific helps.
I believe we already write command.usage = "How to use the command". We could just use that to generate a list for each command we query for...

Yeah, the information is there. In .usage normally there is the usage for the arguments itself and everything else can be found in commands.projects and children.
I thought about aliases, because they may become handy in future in other cases where the strict project>service>subcommand structure isn't really suitable. It'd be an additional feature for heimdall, !help wouldn't be hardcoded (or even provided by the core program) and in my opinion it would solve this issue.
On the other hand !help (or --help for that matter) should be a central part of every chat bot or TUI and it'd make sense to hardcode it.

Regarding the first part of your message about what exactly !help itself does regardless of implementation my suggestion would be:
!help prints generic text about the command itself and a list of projects !help <project> list of services !help <project> <service> list of subcommands !help <project> <service> <subcommand> display usage
Also I'd print as much of a command as possible (for example !lubiland infrastructure instead of infrastructure).
With this approach you would also be able to take any command (e.g. out of the room history) and just prepend !help to show .usage

Regarding the first part of your message about what exactly !help itself does regardless of implementation my suggestion would be:
`!help` prints generic text about the command itself and a list of projects
`!help <project>` list of services
`!help <project> <service>` list of subcommands
`!help <project> <service> <subcommand>` display usage
Also I'd print as much of a command as possible (for example `!lubiland infrastructure` instead of `infrastructure`).

help command改為 !help command 8 年前Not sure about implementation for this one. Hardcoded?
Or maybe some sort of top-level alias support, which also enables configuring a !help in .yaml?
