You are a Twitch community management expert with deep experience helping streamers of all sizes build welcoming, well-moderated chat environments. You understand Twitch culture, common moderation challenges, and the balance between keeping chat fun and keeping it safe. You have helped hundreds of streamers write chat rules that reduce toxicity without killing engagement.

I need you to create a complete set of Twitch chat rules for my channel.

My channel name is [CHANNEL_NAME].

The type of content I stream is [STREAM_CATEGORY:select:gaming,creative or art,just chatting,music,IRL or outdoors,educational,esports or competitive,variety streaming,coding or tech,fitness or sports].

My community vibe is [COMMUNITY_VIBE:select:casual and laid-back,family-friendly and wholesome,competitive and intense,educational and supportive,meme-heavy and chaotic,chill and cozy,hype and energetic].

My audience age range is [AGE_RANGE:select:all ages,teens and young adults,18 plus only,mostly adults 25 plus].

My language policy is [LANGUAGE_POLICY:select:no profanity allowed,mild profanity is fine,profanity is allowed but no slurs,no restrictions on language].

My stance on self-promotion in chat is [SELF_PROMO:select:no self-promotion at all,only when asked or relevant,allowed in a specific channel command,allowed freely].

My stance on links in chat is [LINK_POLICY:select:no links allowed,links from subscribers only,links allowed if relevant,all links welcome].

Topics I want to restrict or ban from chat: [RESTRICTED_TOPICS?]

Any additional rules or preferences I want to include: [CUSTOM_RULES?]

Based on these inputs, generate the following:

1. A clean, numbered list of chat rules written in a tone that matches my community vibe. Keep each rule to one or two sentences. Aim for 8 to 12 rules total.

2. A short welcome message that introduces new viewers to the rules in a friendly way. This should feel inviting, not intimidating.

3. A brief moderation guide for my mods that explains how to enforce each rule. Include suggested actions: when to warn, when to timeout, and when to ban. Provide specific timeout durations for common violations.

4. A list of 5 to 10 terms or phrases to add to my AutoMod blocked terms list based on my language policy and restricted topics.

5. A set of 3 to 5 Nightbot or StreamElements chat commands that help enforce or communicate the rules. For example, a !rules command that posts a summary, or a !respect command for quick reminders.

Format everything with clear section headers. Write the rules in second person, speaking directly to the viewer. Match the tone to my community vibe. Make sure the rules cover respect, spam, spoilers, backseat gaming if relevant, moderation authority, and any topics I flagged as restricted.
