Chimera (not the mythical beast), is a System Remote Control Discord Bot for Windows written in Python discord.py. Using chimera you can easily control your computer remotely and have it do from simple tasks such as shutdown, sleep and lock to talking or executing powershell commands. Chimera is a self hosted bot, which means that you have to run the bot on your computer - the machine you want to control via discord commands. Installing chimera is an easy 3 minute process - you can check the video bellow to see how to do it.
- Python 3

Chimera was written to be modular so one can easily modify the code and enchance it. I welcome and greatly appreciate anyone who wishes to contribute a module of their own. To keep things tidy if you need to import a python module do so on the top of the file in this fashion e.g:
# Dependency of: lock, shutdown, sleep, hibernate, say, restart
import time
and for your command function:
# Module: cmd
# Description: Executes cmd command
# Usage: !cmd "command"
# Dependencies: time, os
@client.command()
async def cmd(cmnd):
await client.say("Executing in command prompt: " + cmnd)
os.system(cmnd)
await asyncio.sleep(3)
