There is 'lirc', an IRC client in Lisp that may prove a useful
starting point.
Lirc: http://www.highfiber.com/~gleasong/

Yes I've written an IRC-Bot in CL.
(It uses the CLOCCs Multithreading and socket-functions)
It doesn't run yet in CLISP because CLISP lacks a "change-class"
Method that I'd used for IRC-Message-Handling (dynamic
content-dependend spezialization of IRC-Message-Classes)
The bot is remote-controllable through a telnet-to-REPL maintenance-port.
It has a selfactualising Channel and Userdatabase (Like an IRC-Server).
It ran for two years now, but is a little bit complicated so I decided to
recode it in a more portable and useable fashion. I really like to see a
CLISP version because most other
environments are too big or too expensive.
Is someone interested to join forces to write a fully-fletched IRC-Bot
(that bursts each Eggdrop away)?
contact me,

I'd love to help, but I don't think I'm really equipped to do so. I'm
still a novice Lisp programmer. I'm also unfamiliar with the inner
workings of IRC servers and such.
I hope this project is successful, though. It only seems logical that
a language designed and well-suited for AI work should be used for
bot-craft. Scripting languages are nice (or so I hear - I can't code
any myself), but they seem somewhat inappropriate for the task of
designing an intelligent bot.

P.S. Is your bot open source? If so, I'd like to look at the code.
I'm sure I could a lot about Lisp and IRC in the process.
