# Overview

Four ways to help CISO Assistant grow

CISO Assistant is open source and improves through community contributions. There are four main paths in, depending on what you want to add:

* [**Frameworks and libraries**](/ciso-assistant/contributing/framework.md) — submit a new framework, mapping, threat catalogue, risk matrix, or reference-control set.
* [**Code (features and fixes)**](/ciso-assistant/contributing/code.md) — bug fixes, performance improvements, new capabilities. Dev setup, conventions, PR flow.
* [**Translations**](/ciso-assistant/contributing/translation.md) — translate the interface into a new locale or improve an existing one.
* [**Documentation**](/ciso-assistant/contributing/documentation.md) — fix or extend the pages you're reading right now.

All contributions go through the same [community repository](https://github.com/intuitem/ciso-assistant-community) and pull-request flow. First-time contributors will be asked to sign the [Contributor License Agreement](https://github.com/intuitem/ciso-assistant-community/blob/main/Contributor%20License%20Agreement.md) when their first PR is opened.

If you've found a security vulnerability, **please don't open a public issue** — follow the [security policy](https://github.com/intuitem/ciso-assistant-community/blob/main/SECURITY.md) instead.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://intuitem.gitbook.io/ciso-assistant/contributing/contributing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
