+# Story 293: Register all bot commands in the command registry
+
+## User Story
+
+As a user, I want all bot commands (help, status, ambient on/off) to be registered in the command registry in commands.rs, so that the help command lists everything the bot can do and there's one consistent mechanism for handling bot-level commands.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Status command is moved from bot.rs into the command registry in commands.rs
+- [ ] Ambient on/off command is moved from bot.rs into the command registry in commands.rs
+- [ ] Help command output lists all registered commands including status and ambient
+- [ ] No bot-level commands are handled outside of the registry (single mechanism)
+- [ ] Existing behavior of all commands is preserved
+- [ ] Registry handler functions receive enough context to perform their work (e.g. project_root for status, ambient_rooms for ambient)
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
