koishijs/koishi

Koishi is a TypeScript framework for building chatbots that work across multiple messaging platforms. Rather than writing a separate bot for each service, you write your bot logic once and Koishi handles connecting it to Discord, Feishu (also called Lark), and other messaging platforms. The goal is to avoid duplicating work when you want your bot to run in more than one place. The framework is built around a plugin system, which means you add or remove features without changing the core application. Each piece of functionality, whether it handles commands, manages user data, or connects to a specific platform, is a separate plugin. You mix and match plugins to build the bot you need, and you can start small and extend it over time without restructuring the whole project. Koishi is written in TypeScript, which gives it type checking and editor autocomplete during development. This can make the development process more predictable compared to plain JavaScript, especially as a bot grows in complexity and the number of plugins increases. The project's topics and the platform list suggest it originated in the Chinese-speaking developer community. Feishu, also marketed as Lark internationally, is a messaging and collaboration platform used widely in China and among multinational companies. Including it alongside Discord gives the framework relevance across both Chinese-speaking and international audiences. The root README in this repository points to a documentation file inside the package structure, which suggests the project is organized as a monorepo where each package maintains its own documentation.
