Start with the README for installation and normal usage, then check the contributor guide when working from source. Include the exact GraphKeeper, Node.js, npm, Git, shell, and operating-system versions when asking for help. Include jq only when an unmigrated legacy validator uses it.
- Use Q&A for installation, usage, recovery, and integration questions.
- Use Ideas or Design discussions for open-ended proposals and architecture tradeoffs before implementation is scoped.
- Use Show and tell to share a repository workflow, experiment, or lesson learned.
- Use the bug report form for reproducible incorrect behavior or diagnostic mismatches.
- Use the feature request form for bounded product proposals with evidence, tradeoffs, and a clear finish line.
- Follow SECURITY.md and report suspected vulnerabilities privately.
Discussion does not commit GraphKeeper to a roadmap change. Once an idea has an accepted direction and actionable scope, track the implementation in an issue and link the resulting pull request.
Before opening an issue, remove secrets and unnecessary personal data from graph records, evidence, command output, and diagnostics. This open-source project does not provide a private help desk or guaranteed response time. Native Windows PowerShell is supported within the platform boundary documented in the README.
