New Feature: Rewrite Command

The /rewrite command allows users to have their messages rewritten in a clearer, more professional, or better structured form using ChatGPT AI (GPT 5 mini). The rewritten message is displayed as an ephemeral message (visible only to the user), making it perfect for getting quick writing improvements without cluttering the channel where they are.

Usage

/rewrite message:<text> [tone:<style>]

Parameters

  • message (required): The message to rewrite (3-500 characters)
  • tone (optional): The tone/style enum value for the rewrite. Defaults to CLEAR if not provided

Available Tones

  • CLEAR (default): Make the message clear and easy to understand
  • PRO: Use a professional and polished tone
  • DETAILED: Expand with more detail and explanation
  • TECHNICAL: Use technical and specialized language where appropriate

How It Works

  1. You invoke the command with your message and optional tone
  2. ChatGPT analyzes and rewrites the message according to the selected tone
  3. A formatted embed displays both the original and rewritten versions
  4. The response is ephemeral—only visible to you for 15 minutes
  5. You can copy the rewritten text and use it.

dont abbreviate, RewriteMsgCommand. but to avoid confusion i would try to stick to the actual slash-command name, so just RewriteCommand would be better imo

I thought about doing that in the beginning, but I found that it may be confusing, since it's possible to be interpreted "rewrite something else, other than a message", so I found it better to write "Message" as abbreviation to avoid verbosity

but that confusion then also applies to the slashcommand. if u think its confusing then the slash command has to be renamed as well, to /rewrite-msg for example. then the class name is okay again

I would reword it to "Let AI rephrase and improve your message"

your logging in this entire class is mostly all over. almost all your "debug" logs are trace logs instead.
and most of your info logs are debug logs.

this has to be adjusted. ill try to leave comments on a per-log base


this.rewriteMsgService = rewriteMsgService;

logger.debug("Initializing RewriteMsgCommand with ChatGptService and HelpSystemHelper");

obsolete, BotCore already logs this stuff on trace level. remove

final int previewLength = Math.min(50, message.length());
final String preview = message.substring(0, previewLength);

logger.debug("Message content preview: {}", preview);

that log is missing context and not that helpful without

put it as private helper inside RewriteCommand, then remove all the javadoc. all javadoc in this class is obsolete and just documenting what the code already says, its not needed and just bloat

make that a field instead, like your displayName

once you moved that into RewriteCommand as private enum Tone {...}, the getters are obsolete as RewriteCommand can access the fields directly. so go for just:

private enum Tone {
  CLEAR("Clear", "Make it clear and easy to understand."),
  PRO("Pro", "Use a professional and polished tone."),
  ...

  final String displayName;
  final String promptInstructions;

  Tone(String displayName, String promptInstructions) { ... }
}
