# Kimi CLI Help

Help users with Kimi CLI questions by consulting documentation and source code.

## Strategy

1. **Prefer official documentation** for most questions
2. **Read local source** when in kimi-cli project itself, or when user is developing with kimi-cli as a library (e.g., importing from `kimi_cli` in their code)
3. **Clone and explore source** for complex internals not covered in docs - **ask user for confirmation first**

## Documentation

Base URL: `https://moonshotai.github.io/kimi-cli/`

Fetch documentation index to find relevant pages:

```

```

### Page URL Pattern

- English: `https://moonshotai.github.io/kimi-cli/en/...`
