It simplifies handling user inputs, managing language translations, and structuring bot commands in a user-friendly way. The class embodies the principles of Bot Smart Architecture, which focuses on logic isolation, multi-language support, and simplicity. ## Key Principles of Smart Architecture 1. **Logic Isolation from Content**: Separates the logic of your bot from its content. 2. **Multi-Language Support**: Defaulting to English, but easily adaptable for other languages. 3. **Unified Command Structure**: Use single commands with multiple translations rather than language-specific commands. 4. **Externalized Text Management**: All texts, especially translatable ones, are kept outside the command code in language files. 5. **Language-Based Elements**: Elements like answers, aliases, and keyboards are defined in language files, not in the command. 6. **Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)**: One message per command and clarity in command naming. 7. **Command Naming Rules**: Clear and meaningful names for commands. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
