FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package steward
Steward
Hosted AI for Flarum — answers drawn from your own forum, and moderation that reads a post before it flags it. No AI account, no API key, no per-token bill.
Distinct from AI Helper, which stays bring-your-own-key for people who want to run their own model. Steward is sold as capacity through the client area and adds moderation.
What it does
Answers, with sources
A member asks a question and gets an answer assembled from discussions already on your site — with every source cited, so it can be checked rather than trusted.
When nothing on the forum answers the question it says so. It does not reach out to the wider internet, and it does not invent something plausible to fill the gap. An answer you cannot trace back to a real post is worse than no answer.
Retrieval runs against your forum's own search, or — on plans that include it — against a hosted semantic index, so answers are found by meaning rather than keyword overlap.
Moderation, that never deletes
Every new post is read before it lands. Most are cleared instantly and for nothing; only genuinely ambiguous ones are looked at more closely.
- Nothing is ever removed automatically. The strongest outcome is "a person should look at this". Software that reads a post decides what a moderator looks at, never what disappears.
- Every non-clear verdict carries reasons in plain words. A queue you cannot read is a queue you cannot trust or tune.
- Trusted members are never screened. Spending money to second-guess someone who has posted politely for three years is worse than useless.
- CSAM escalates rather than being handled inline.
- A moderation outage is not a posting outage. If the service is unreachable, posts publish and are marked unscreened rather than blocked.
Flagged posts land in a review queue on your forum, for whoever holds the
steward.review permission.
Usage where you will actually look
Your consumption, and what is left of it, appear in Steward's own settings page — not on a billing portal you have to remember to visit. It shows the daily trend, not just a total, because "60% used" does not tell you whether you are about to run out.
Install
Enable it, then paste your site key into its settings. The key is bound to one domain and re-checked on every request, so it cannot be used anywhere else.
Requires Flarum 2.0 and PHP 8.3+. A subscription is required: https://ernestdefoe.online/account
Your data
Only public content is ever sent. Posts in private or hidden discussions are never indexed, and a post that stops being public is withdrawn from the index rather than left behind.
On hosted retrieval your index is yours alone, and is deleted when you cancel — on the same call that ends the service, not in a cleanup job somebody remembers to run.
Why the pre-filter exists
Moderation runs on every post, unlike an assistant which runs when someone asks. A forum posting 500 times a day is 15,000 screenings a month; sending all of them to a model costs more than the subscription — on precisely the busy forums that need moderation most.
Moderation\PreFilter clears the obviously-fine majority for nothing and
escalates only what is genuinely ambiguous. Measured against 486 real posts:
| share | |
|---|---|
| Cleared free | 99.4% |
| Escalated to the model | 0.6% |
Among untrusted posters only — the population it actually inspects — the escalation rate is 9.7%. Even on a forum where every poster is a newcomer that is roughly $0.51 per 15,000 posts against $5.25 with no pre-filter.
