Bight is a Discord bot framework for developers who want architecture that stays readable as the project grows.
Explicit composition over hidden machinery
Services and plugins are wired manually. You can trace every dependency by reading your source files. There’s no auto-discovery DI container. Services, plugins, and features are wired explicitly. Commands, events, and handlers are loaded through filesystem discovery to ensure stability.
Slash-first design
The runtime, routing, and tooling are built around modern Discord interactions (slash commands, buttons, selects, modals). Legacy command patterns are supported through opt-in plugins, not as the default path.
Official batteries over ecosystem breadth
Bight ships opinionated packages for common operational needs (storage adapters, schedulers, devtools, settings, i18n) rather than relying on community plugins to fill gaps.
If you need the deepest ecosystem maturity and broadest community plugin coverage today, Sapphire is the more established choice. See Bight vs Sapphire for a detailed comparison.
