+class MessagePredicate:
+    """A simple collection of predicates.
+
+    These predicates were made to help simplify checks in message events and
+    reduce boilerplate code.
+
+    For examples:
+    # valid yes or no response
+    `ctx.bot.wait_for('message', timeout=15.0, check=Predicate(ctx).confirm)`
+
+    # check if message content in under 2000 characters
+    `check = Predicate(ctx, length=2000).length_under
+     ctx.bot.wait_for('message', timeout=15.0, check=check)`
+
+
+    Attributes
+    ----------
+    ctx
+        Context object.
+    collection : `Iterable`
+        Optional argument used for checking if the message content is inside the
+        declared collection.
+    length : `int`
+        Optional argument for comparing message lengths.
+    value
+         Optional argument that can be either a string, int, float, or object.
+         Used for comparison and equality.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+        Boolean or it will raise a ValueError if you use a certain methods without an argument or
+        the value argument is set to an invalid type for a particular method.
