Discord.py hardcoded help command but it's better
@bot.command()
async def help(ctx: commands.Context, *, name: str = None):

if not name:

embed = discord.Embed(title="Commands Menu", color=0x8DDFE3)
embed.set_thumbnail(url=bot.user.avatar_url)
for name, cog in bot.cogs.items():
embed.add_field(
name=cog.qualified_name,
value=", ".join([i.name for i in cog.get_commands()]),
inline=False,
)
misc = ", ".join([i.name for i in bot.commands if not i.cog])
if len(misc) > 1:
embed.add_field(name="Miscellanous", value=misc)
await ctx.send(embed=embed)
else:
if name.lower() in [i.lower() for i in bot.cogs]:
raw_cog = [i for i in bot.cogs if name.lower() == i.lower()][0]
clog = bot.get_cog(raw_cog)
embed = discord.Embed(color=0x8DDFE3)
embed.title = clog.qualified_name

await ctx.send("ay")

Please Note

This example is just another one of those "doing things the way they are not intended to". It is not recommended to follow this way, prefer subclassing the default help command instead. You can refer this gist for that.

Here's a version of this command subclassed under commands.HelpCommand

which is ironically a better version than the original one since this version shows the subcommands of the asked group

(for the ones who aren't the type of ppl to "doing things the way they are not intended to")

import discord

from discord.ext import commands


bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", help_command=None)


class HelpCmd(commands.HelpCommand):
    async def send_bot_help(self, mapping):

        embed = discord.Embed(title="Commands Menu", color=0x8DDFE3)

        embed.set_thumbnail(url=bot.user.avatar_url)

        for cog, cmds in mapping.items():

            if not cog:
                if len(cmds):
                    embed.add_field(
                        name="Miscellaneous",
                        value=", ".join([i.name for i in cmds]),
                        inline=False,
                    )
            else:
                embed.add_field(
                    name=cog.qualified_name,
                    value=", ".join([i.name for i in cmds]),
                    inline=False,
                )

        await self.context.send(embed=embed)

    async def send_cog_help(self, cog):
        embed = discord.Embed(color=0x8DDFE3)

        embed.title = cog.qualified_name
        embed.description = cog.description

        for command in cog.get_commands():
            embed.add_field(name=command.name, value=command.short_doc)

        await self.context.send(embed=embed)

    async def send_group_help(self, group):
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title=group.name, description=group.short_doc, color=0x8DDFE3
        )

        embed.add_field(
            name="Usage",
            value=f"{self.context.prefix}{group.qualified_name} {group.signature}",
        )

        if len(group.commands):
            embed.add_field(
                name="Subcommands",
                value=", ".join([i.name for i in group.commands]),
                inline=False,
            )

        await self.context.send(embed=embed)

    async def send_command_help(self, command):
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title=command.name, description=command.short_doc, color=0x8DDFE3
        )

        embed.add_field(
            name="Usage",
            value=f"{self.context.prefix}{command.qualified_name} {command.signature}",
        )

        await self.context.send(embed=embed)


bot.help_command = HelpCmd()

I didn't test this lmao
