**Kimi-CLI uses GitHub Discussions as its official community forum, accessible at https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli/discussions, with entry points configured in the repository's issue templates.**

If you are looking for a place to ask questions, share ideas, or discuss features for the **MoonshotAI/kimi-cli** project, the community forum is hosted directly on GitHub. Unlike traditional standalone forums, kimi-cli leverages GitHub Discussions to keep conversations organized alongside the codebase.

## Accessing the Kimi-CLI Community Forum

The primary community forum for kimi-cli is located at **GitHub Discussions**:

```

https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli/discussions

```

This is the designated space for all non-bug conversations, including feature requests, usage questions, and general brainstorming. The repository maintainers explicitly direct users to this location when the topic does not involve a defect or error report.

## How the Forum Is Integrated Into the Repository

The connection between the repository and the community forum is hard-coded into the project's issue templates. These configurations ensure that users are automatically directed to the correct venue based on their needs.

### Issue Template Configuration

In [`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml), the repository declares a contact link labeled "Questions and General Discussion" that points directly to the Discussions page. This configuration appears at line 4 of the file and creates a prominent button in the GitHub issue creation interface, routing users away from the Issues tracker when they have general inquiries.

### Bug Report Guidelines

The bug report template located at [`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/1-bug-report.yml`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/1-bug-report.yml) also references the community forum. At line 12, the template instructs users to use the Discussions page for questions that are not bug reports. This dual referencing ensures that the forum remains discoverable regardless of which template a user initially selects.

## Quick Ways to Open the Forum from Your Terminal

You can launch the kimi-cli community forum directly from your command line without manually navigating through the GitHub interface.

Using standard Linux utilities:

```bash
