# Kigi Help
Answer the user's question about Kigi setup, configuration, or features.
## Steps
1. If the question is about **current config** (what MCP servers, models, or settings are active),
read `~/.kigi/config.toml`. MCP servers are under `[mcp_servers.*]` sections.
2. If the question is about **how to do something** (setup, adding MCP servers, creating skills,
authentication, keyboard shortcuts, troubleshooting), first check the user-guide docs at
`~/.kigi/docs/user-guide/`. The available guides are:
- `01-getting-started.md` -- Installation, first launch, basic interaction
- `02-authentication.md` -- Browser login, API keys, OIDC, external auth
- `03-keyboard-shortcuts.md` -- Complete key bindings reference
- `04-slash-commands.md` -- All / commands
- `05-configuration.md` -- config.toml, pager.toml, env vars
- `06-theming.md` -- Themes, appearance customization
- `07-mcp-servers.md` -- MCP server setup and management
- `08-skills.md` -- Creating and using skills
- `09-plugins.md` -- Plugin marketplace
- `10-hooks.md` -- Lifecycle hooks
- `11-custom-models.md` -- BYOK, Ollama, OpenAI endpoints
- `12-project-rules.md` -- AGENTS.md project rules
- `13-memory.md` -- Cross-session memory
- `14-headless-mode.md` -- CLI scripting and CI/CD
- `15-agent-mode.md` -- ACP/stdio IDE integration
- `16-subagents.md` -- Subagents and personas
- `17-sessions.md` -- Session management
- `18-sandbox.md` -- Sandbox mode
- `19-plan-mode.md` -- Plan mode
- `20-background-tasks.md` -- Background tasks and monitoring
- `21-terminal-support.md` -- tmux, SSH, truecolor, clipboard, /terminal-setup
Read the relevant guide(s) for the user's question. If none match, fall back to
`~/.kigi/README.md` for the comprehensive reference.
3. To **modify config** for the user, edit `~/.kigi/config.toml` with search_replace.
4. To **create a skill** for the user, create `~/.kigi/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`
(read `~/.kigi/docs/user-guide/08-skills.md` for the SKILL.md format).
