• npm run prisma:studio - Open Prisma Studio (database GUI)

This project follows TypeScript best practices:

• Strict type checking
• ES2022 target
• Comprehensive error handling
• Async/await for asynchronous operations

The bot includes comprehensive error handling:

• API request failures are caught and reported to users
• Invalid commands show helpful error messages
• Network timeouts are handled gracefully
• Media download failures don't crash the bot

• Maximum 5 media items per command (to prevent rate limiting)
• 25MB file size limit for downloads
• Pinterest API rate limits apply
• Discord file size limits (8MB for regular users, 25MB for Nitro)
