Adding new functionality

Simply add a new file in the lib directory that exports a single function that takes in a bot parameter.

This file will automatically be loaded on start and the bot instance passed in once conected.

For available functions see: https://www.npmjs.com/package/slackbots#methods

Note: You can disable files from being loaded by renaming them to start with a . E.g. countdown.js would become .countdown.js. It is recommended to do this with the example files once you are confident your bot it working.
