hubot-scripts

These are a collection of community scripts for Hubot, a chat bot for your company.

Installing

Once you have Hubot installed, you can drop new scripts from this repository right into your generated Hubot installation. Just put them in scripts, restart your robot, and you're good to go.

All the scripts in this repository are located in src/scripts.

Writing

Want to write your own Hubot script? The best way is to take a look at an existing script and see how things are set up. Hubot scripts are written in CoffeeScript, a higher-level implementation of JavaScript.

You'll also want to add tests for your script; no one likes untested code. It makes Hubot sad.

Additionally, it's extremely helpful to add TomDoc to the top of each file. (Check out an example). We'll pull out the commands from those lines and display them in the generic, robot-wide hubot help command.
