Limbo
A Slack chatbot
Status
At the moment, I consider limbo to be feature complete, and the project is in maintenance mode. Every once in a while I come in and update the dependencies.
Contributions will be considered and may be accepted, you may want to email me because I might not notice your PR.
Python Versions
At the moment, this software only officially supports python >=3.10, because the test fixtures fail on older versions of python due to an urllib3 inconsistency I don't understand.
It should still run on other versions of python, but for the moment they're unfortunately not tested.
Installation
- Clone the repo
- Create a bot user if you don't have one yet, and copy the API Token
- export SLACK_TOKEN="your-api-token"
make run(ormake replfor local testing)- Invite Limbo into any channels you want it in, or just message it in #general. Try typing
!gif dubstep catto test it out

I recommend that you always run limbo in a virtualenv so that you are running in a clean environment.
Command Arguments
--test,-t: Enter command line mode to enter a limbo repl.--hook: Specify the hook to test. (Defaults to "message").-c: Run a single command.--database,-d: Where to store the limbo sqlite3 database. Defaults to limbo.sqlite3.--pluginpath,-pp: The path where limbo should look to find its plugins (defaults to /plugins).--version,-v: Print a version number and exit
Environment Variables
- SLACK_TOKEN: Slack API token. Required.
- LIMBO_LOGLEVEL: The logging level. Defaults to INFO.
- LIMBO_LOGFILE: File to log info to. Defaults to none.
- LIMBO_LOGFORMAT: Format for log messages. Defaults to
%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(name)s:%(message)s. - LIMBO_PLUGINS: Comma-delimited string of plugins to load. Defaults to loading all plugins in the plugins directory (which defaults to "limbo/plugins")
Note that if you are getting an error message about not seeing environment variables, you may be running limbo as sudo, which will clear the environment. Use a virtualenv and always run limbo as a user process!
Commands
It's super easy to add your own commands! Just create a python file in the plugins directory with an on_message function that returns a string.
You can use the !help command to print out all available commands and a brief help message about them. !help <plugin> will return just the help for a particular plugin.
By default, plugins won't react to messages from other bots (just messages from humans). Define an on_bot_message function to handle bot messages too. See the example plugins for an easy way to define these functions.
These are the current default plugins:
