## How Rules Work

Rules are evaluated from top to bottom.

When a message matches a rule:

1. The rule must be enabled.

2. The rule must be listening to that chat channel.

3. The message must match the rule's match mode.

4. Cooldowns must allow a reply.

Once a rule replies, evaluation stops.

Lower rules will not be checked for that message.

This allows rule priority ordering.

## Usage Tips

- Put more specific rules near the top.

- Place broad or catch-all rules near the bottom.

- Use "Exact" or "Starts With" to prevent accidental matches.

- Use cooldowns to avoid spam or repeated triggers.
