# Certification Requirements

For a plugin to be "certified" by for use with Bit a few requirements will need to be met.

## Plugin ID Requirements

Your Plugins ID:

MUST be in Kebab Case (ex. kebab-case)!\
CANNOT include numbers!\
CANNOT include symbols bar the dash (-)!\
CANNOT include a space (We recommend using a dash (-) instead)\
CANNOT use the names `bit-core`or `example-plugin`\
CANNOT use offensive language\
MUST be unique compared to the other Bit Certified Plugins

## Plugin Content Requirements

Your Plugin:

CANNOT contain NSFW content\
CANNOT break Discords TOS, Community Guidelines or Developer TOS\
CANNOT break the law in the region we reside (New South Wales, Australia)

## Other Requirements

Your Plugin:

CANNOT use the define\_intents() function in your main file to run code other then the core.add\_intent(), core.add\_module() or core.log() functions

## Soft Requirements

These things are not exactly required, but these are extra factors we consider when choosing whether to certify a plugin or not.

We give extra consideration to plugins that:

Create fun and engaging content to users\
Aid in the moderation of a Discord server\
Help deal with spam\
Contain content that will give some benefit to users

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bit.lockyzdev.com/plugins/for-developers/certification-requirements.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
