A Bookmark Command
Description
When a user tends to use a command often, either by the user manually adding it, or have the bot automatically add through command tracking, add a ".bookmarks", and it will pull up all the bookmarked commands of that user.
Reasoning
For easier use and memorization of the bot commands.

@NeilShah2026 This bot currently doesn't have a database, such as postres.
I don't think many users would like to be message automatically if the bot noticed a pattern that is set by some constant.
The bot does have a feature for bookmarking a message, so if the user wants to save something for later, they can always do so.
A possible way for doing this is by going through each message in the user DM history and checking if the message is an embed and if so it has the title of Bookmark.
That's not the best idea if the user has a long message history with the bot.
Agreed, a better way I just remembered as we had discussed in dev-contrib was to pin the bookmark messages in DMs of the user and then the bot could go through the pin history?
I don't think many users would like to be message automatically if the bot noticed a pattern that is set by some constant.
I still think this is relevant. Not sure if the default should have this feature turned on or off.
I don't want to fill up the user's pinned messages, since it may collide with something in the future.
If anything, we should go with manual additions instead of automatic bookmarking so users aren't randomly DM'd.

To note, at this point, the bot basically has a database with redis.
Well, yes, but I'm not sure if it's suited for long-term storage. We'd have to put some time limit on the bookmark or something so we don't use up storage for no reason.
Wait what is this issue actually about? The original issue describes the ability to bookmark commands for ease of finding again, but then the comments start talking about our message bookmarking command. Can this be clarified?
