+## 5. Configuring command configs
+
+The command config json (specified in the main config's `cmdconfig` variable) contiains all the configuration set for the commands.
+
+The syntax is as follows:
+
+```json
+{
+    "Command": {
+        "Variable": "Value"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+- **Command:** The name of the command, such as `ban.js` command would be `ban`.
+- **Variable:** The variable name set in the command, this would be one for every `super.configs` in the command's constructor.
+- **Value:** The value for the command.
+
+An example would be:
+
+```js
+// ban.js
+
+class ban extends Command {
+    constructor() {
+        super("ban");
+        super.configs = "modrole";
+        // ...
+    }
+
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+Would have in the command config file:
+
+```json
+{
+    "ban": {
+        "modrole": "Moderators"
+    }
+}
+```
