# Support

Need help with `pi-model-council`? Here's where to look.

## Documentation

Start with [README.md](README.md) — it covers:

- The 3-step Quick Start workflow
- All four commands (`/council`, `/opinion`, `/council-settings`, `/opinion-settings`)
- How model selection works (Pi model registry vs OpenRouter REST)
- Where the API key is resolved from
- Architecture and development workflow

For deeper topics:

- [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) — Reporting vulnerabilities, API key hygiene
- [DISCLAIMER.md](DISCLAIMER.md) — AI accuracy, cost, third-party terms
- [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) — Setting up the project, PR process
- [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) — What changed in each release

## Asking a question

**GitHub Discussions** is the preferred place for "how do I…?" questions. Search first; if your question isn't already answered, open a new discussion with:

- What you were trying to do
- The exact command you ran (e.g. `/council fix "..."`)
- What you expected to happen
- What actually happened (full error if any)
- Pi version, Node version, OS

## Filing a bug

Use the **Bug report** template at
[`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md`](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md).
Include the same details as above plus a minimal reproduction.

## Requesting a feature

Use the **Feature request** template at
[`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md`](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md).
Describe the use case first, then the proposed solution.

## Security issues

**Do not open a public issue for security vulnerabilities.** Follow
[SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) — use the GitHub Security Advisories page
(preferred) or email the maintainer privately.

## Response times

This is a small project maintained on personal time. Expect:

- Bug reports — acknowledgement within a week, fix on a best-effort basis
- Feature requests — review and triage within a few weeks
- Security reports — within 48 hours per the policy in SECURITY.md

If you need a guaranteed response window, this project isn't a good fit; use a
commercial alternative.

## Paid support

This project does not offer paid support. If you need urgent help integrating
`pi-model-council` into a commercial workflow, consider:

- Hiring a Pi-extension developer from the Pi community
- Forking the project and maintaining your own internal version
