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).
