fix: Make help command inline

See original GitHub issue

The problem:

The help command looks like a brickwall of text in the chat. Moreover, the help command will potentially grow in the future, might get more space now.

Proposed Fix:

A fix would to set inline=true in the embed definition.

Context: <^help command>

The current fix is just a temporary one. In future we might have to consider:

  • Putting commands on a website OR
  • Putting commands in a .md file in the repo, which can be synced using Actions

How about we take the substring of the long descriptions and add a link to the raw markdown.

We might have to do that, I was hoping to make a small improvement first, and raise another issue if required that would need more work
