### Checks
TODO
A **Check** is the main logical unit of behavior for the bot. It is equivalent to "if X then Y". A Check is comprised of:
* One or more **Rules** that are tested against an **Activity**
* One of more **Actions** that are performed when the **Rules** are satisfied
The bot's configuration can be made up of one or more **Checks** that are processed **in the order they are listed in the configuration.**
Once a Check is **triggered** (its Rules are satisfied and Actions performed) all subsequent Checks are skipped.
Some other important concepts regarding Checks:
* All Checks have a **kind** (defined in the configuration) that determine if they should run on **Submissions** or **Comments**
* Checks have a **condition** property that determines when they are considered **triggered**
* If the **condition** is `AND` then ALL of their **Rules** must be **triggered** for the Check to be **triggered**
* If the **condition** is `OR` then if ANY **Rules** is triggered **triggered** then the Check is **triggered**
Examples of different types of Checks can be found in the [subreddit-ready examples.](/docs/examples/subredditReady)
### Rule
A **Rule** is some set of **criteria** (conditions) that are tested against an Activity (comment/submission), a User, or a User's history. A Rule is considered **triggered** when the **criteria** for that rule are found to be **true** for whatever is being tested against.

An **Action** is some action the bot can take against the checked Activity (comment/submission) or Author of the Activity. CM has Actions for most things a normal reddit user or moderator can do.

### Filters
authorIs/itemIs TODO
**Checks, Rules, and Actions** all have two additional (optional) criteria "tests". These tests behave differently than rule/check triggers in that:
* When they **pass** the thing being tested continues to process as usual
* When they **fail** the thing being tested **is skipped, not failed.**
For **Checks** and **Actions** skipping means that the thing is not processed. The Action is not run, the Check is not triggered.
In the context of **Rules** (in a Check) skipping means the Rule does not get run BUT it does not fail. The Check will continue processing as if the Rule did not exist. However, if ALL Rules in a Check are skipped then the Check does "fail" (is not triggered).
#### Available Filters
##### Item Filter (`itemIs`)
This filter will test against the **state of the Activity currently being run.** Some criteria available to test against IE "Is the activity...":
* removed
* nsfw
* locked
* stickied
* deleted
* etc...
The `itemIs` filter is made up of an array (list) of `State` criteria objects. **All** criteria in the array must pass for this filter to pass.
There are two different State criteria depending on what type of Activity is being tested:
* Submission -- [SubmissionState](https://json-schema.app/view/%23/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FSubmissionCheckJson/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FSubmissionState?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json)
* Comment -- [CommentState](https://json-schema.app/view/%23/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FCommentCheckJson/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FCommentState?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json)
##### Author Filter (`authorIs`)
This filter will test against the **Author of the Activity currently being run.** Some criteria available to test against:
* account age
* comment, link, and total karma
* subreddit flair text/css
* name
* User Notes
* verified
* etc...
The `authorIs` filter is made up two (optional) lists of [`AuthorCriteria`](https://json-schema.app/view/%23/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FSubmissionCheckJson/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorOptions/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorCriteria?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json) criteria objects that define how the test behaves:
* `include` list -- If **any** `AuthorCriteria` from this list passes then the `authorIs` test passes
* `exclude` list -- If **any** `AuthorCriteria` from this list **does not pass** then the `authorIs` test passes. **Note:** This property is ignored if `include` is also present IE you cannot use both properties at the same time.
Refer to the [app schema for `AuthorCriteria`](https://json-schema.app/view/%23/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FSubmissionCheckJson/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorOptions/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorCriteria?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json) for all available properties to test against.
Some examples of using `authorIs` can be found in the [Author examples.](/docs/examples/author)
