Unmaintained bots

This directory contains bots that are currently not maintained by the Zulip community. They are untested and potentially buggy or completely nonfunctional. We only know that they worked at the time of their creation.

We see potential in every bot included in this directory. Many were moved simply because they didn't contain automated tests. Feel free to use or revive these bots.

Reviving a bot

To revive an unmaintained bot, go through our Writing bots guide and check if the bot meets the outlined criteria. In particular, this means that the bot should:

contain automated tests.
be well-documented, with usage examples.
provide a command set reasonably easy and convenient to use for a human.

Once a bot fulfills all the criteria, feel free to submit a pull request to add it to the bots directory. We are happy to include it there.
