+# dpy_commons
+
+Shared discord.py utilities — the discord-side sibling of `commons`. A module of functions
+grouped by concern: message/embed parsing, embed sanitizing + limit-fitting, link extraction,
+text chunking, timestamp helpers, interactive await-prompts, and a limit-safe send.
+
+## Install
+
+```
+dpy_commons @ git+ssh://git@git.rethinkstudios.io/rethink-public/dpy_commons.git@v0.1.0
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+import dpy_commons as dc
+
+# structured parse of a rich message (async — it reads attachments from the CDN)
+payload = await dc.parse_message(message)
+payload["mentions"]["users"]        # [123, ...]
+payload["poll"]                     # {"question": ..., "options": [...]} or None
+
+# sanitize an embed to be safe-to-send (links wrapped, color normalized, within limits)
+safe = dc.sanitize_embed(raw_embed)
+
+# send that never trips a Discord limit: chunks content, fits + splits embeds
+await dc.safe_send(channel, content=long_text, embeds=many_embeds)
+
+# split a 5000-char blob into <=2000 pieces on clean boundaries
+for piece in dc.chunk_text(blob):
+    await channel.send(piece)
+
+# a live, timezone-local timestamp rendered by the Discord client
+dc.discord_timestamp(dt, "R")       # "<t:1751500000:R>"
+```
+
+### Interactive await-prompts
+
+Throw a prompt, `await` it, get the answer back right there — no listener, no view subclass,
+no state plumbing:
+
+```python
+if await dc.confirm(ctx, "Delete 500 messages?"):
+    await purge()
+
+action = await dc.choose(ctx, "Pick:", {
+    "✅": "approve",
+    "❌": "deny",
+    "<:escalate:123456789>": "escalate",
+})
+# action -> "approve" | "deny" | "escalate" | None (timeout)
+```
+
+`confirm` returns `True`/`False`/`None`; `choose` returns the mapped **value** (never the raw
+interaction). Both scope to a user (a stranger's click gets an ephemeral "not for you" and the
+prompt stays live), disable their components after resolve/timeout, accept custom emojis
+anywhere an emoji goes, and take `cleanup=True` to delete the prompt afterward. `choose`
+auto-switches to a select dropdown for more than 5 options or long labels.
+
+## What's inside
+
+| Concern | Functions |
+|---|---|
+| Parsing | `parse_message` (async), `extract_message_links`, `sanitize_mentions` |
+| Embeds | `fit_embed`, `sanitize_embed`, `split_embeds` |
+| Text | `chunk_text`, `format_table`, `discord_timestamp`, `humanize_delta` |
+| Prompts | `confirm`, `choose` |
+| Send | `safe_send` |
+
+All Discord hard limits live as module constants (`MSG_LIMIT`, `EMBED_TOTAL`, …) — the single
+source of truth; nothing hardcodes a limit.
+
+## Contract
+
+Config-free (functions take the discord objects they act on, never a global). Fail-loud:
+`format_table` raises `ValueError` on ragged rows, `discord_timestamp` on a bad style,
+`choose` on empty options; `safe_send` and the prompts propagate Discord perms/HTTP errors
+(a prompt **timeout** is a normal `None`, not an error). The one tolerated swallow is a single
+bad attachment in `parse_message` (warn + skip) — pass `strict=True` to raise instead.
+
+## Notes / deviations
+
+- **`parse_message` is `async`.** The spec wrote it sync, but attachments are read from the
+  CDN (network I/O), which cannot be synchronous. Await it.
+- Targets **`discord.py>=2.2`** (not `discord.py-self`).
+
