creep

Slack-based chatbot that's easy to extend. Originally inspired by gozerbot. Easy & minimal plugin structure, couple of useful plugins out-of-the-box:

• http-json: provides HTTP interface that lets you POST messages to a Slack channel
• quotes: add & ask about quotes
• dns-resolver: resolve domains from within the bot. Useful for situations where your bot is running behind your firewall but you want to quickly resolve a host on that local network

requirements

see requirements.txt

• pyyaml
• slackbot
• dnspython (optional, for dns plugin)

Recommended way of installing is via virtualenv:
