General Usage Information for Bots providing Slash Commands

From the official Discord Developer Portal Documentation:

Slash Commands are the new, exciting way to build and interact with apps on Discord.With Slash Commands, all you have to do is type / and you're ready to use your favorite bot.

Users can learn everything your bot does and easily find new features as you add them. Validation, error states, and helpful UI walks them through your commands, meaning they can get it right the first time, especially on mobile. You now have one more ally in the fight against your phone's autocorrect.

Slash Commands set your users up for success instead of confusion and frustration. They separate how users think and how your code works, meaning no matter how complex your codebase and commands may get, people who love your bot will find it approachable and easy to use.

Typing / is enough to access all bots that provide Slash Commands to your Discord server. It will open a popup where all bots and commands can be seen and clicked to use them. There usually also is a description of the command.
