Custom help command

Hi I’m trying to code a simple discord bot using discord.py, and one of the things I want my bot to do is send a nice custom embed when a user uses the !help command. So far I know that this simple code, which some people provided in other questions on stackoverflow about custom help commands:

class help(commands.MinimalHelpCommand):
  async def send_pages(self):
    destination = self.get_destination()
    e = discord.Embed(title="Help:", description="description", colour=discord.Colour.blurple(), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow())
    await destination.send(embed=e)

client.help_command = help()

works, but the thing is when someone wants to use !help on a specific command or category, the bot will only send the send_pages command. I tried modifying the code and added

  async def send_page_command(self, *, command):
    destination = self.get_destination
    command_e = discord.Embed(title="Dogluva:robot's Help:", description=f"{command.description}", colour=discord.Colour.blurple(), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow())
    await destination.send(embed=command_e)

But this doesn’t help. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong here? I’ve set the description for all the commands I wrote in my cogs using commands.command(description=“description") but I don’t know how to make a custom help command access those descriptions.

@client.command()
async def help(ctx, *, command=None):
  if command == None:
    e = discord.Embed(title="Dogluva:robot:'s Help:", description=“Custom Description", colour=discord.Colour.blurple(), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow())
  elif command == “{command}":
    e = discord.Embed(title="Dogluva:robot:'s Help:", description=“Command Description", colour=discord.Colour.blurple(), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow())

  await ctx.send(embed=e)

I just created different cases for each command

instead of send_page_command(self, *, command): you can try using send_command_help(self, command):

First, remember to delete the default help command (discord automatically has help command), so you need to delete it first:

client.remove_command('help') # before your own "help" command

# or

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="<your prefix>", help_command=None) # when you create client

Basic help command:

@client.command()
async def help(ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Help", description="Write your own description here", colour=discord.Color.blue())

    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

But you can make it even better. Read more about Embeds in the documentation and check this template:
