- 📨 **Prefix command system** — commands triggered by a configurable prefix (default `!`)
- 📁 **Auto-loading** — commands and events are loaded automatically from their folders
- 🔖 **Aliases** — each command can define one or more aliases
- 📝 **Winston logging** — coloured console output + rolling log files (`logs/combined.log`, `logs/error.log`)
- 🛡️ **Global error handling** — unhandled rejections and uncaught exceptions are caught and logged
