Colossus

Colossus is a Discord bot codebase that runs independent bots used across several servers. It handles moderation, tickets, logs, tags, experience, message archives, and automated replies.

I made many single-server bots before Colossus. Each had its own copy of the same basic systems, and every Discord API change or bug fix had to be repeated. Colossus brought that work into one codebase.

Features

• Moderation records, staff actions, message logs, and searchable archives
• Ticket workflows, tags, automated replies, and experience tracking
• Per-server modules, channels, roles, and configuration
• Persistent workflows that survive process restarts

Shared core, local behavior

The bot uses Hikari and async Python for Discord events and commands. Prisma and MySQL store moderation records, tickets, tags, experience, users, and archived messages. Staff can look up past actions, and long-running workflows do not disappear when the process restarts.

Different bots still need different rules. Shared services handle the common work, while configuration and server extensions hold local channels and roles. This keeps one community’s special case out of the base used by every other server.

Colossus replaced several older Redon Tech bots. It cut repeated maintenance and gave new server features a stable place to live. It is also the largest Discord system I have built, both in the number of features and in the amount of persistent data it manages.
