What does command "X" do?

You can get basic help and usage with sibyl help commandname. This will also tell you what plug-in provides that command. You can get more detailed help at the Commands page or the individual plug-in pages linked from there.

Why can't Sibyl find my files?

First check the logs for any errors regarding library.audio_dirs and library.video_dirs. If you download a new file you have to sibyl library rebuild for sibyl to see them. If you change either of the config options you have to restart sibyl (possibly with sibyl reboot) and then rebuild the library. For Windows network shares (or samba on Linux) you need pysmbc.

Can I run Sibyl on a separate machine from XBMC/Kodi?

Yes, but for the library and bookmark plugins (and parts of the xbmc plugin) to work correctly, you have to make sure the paths match between both hosts. If not, you can use the library.remote config option to translate between the two. For more details see the Remote Kodi Instance section of the library plugin page.

Can you add "X" feature?

No guarantees, but you're more than welcome to create a new issue and add the enhancement label from the Labels dialog on the right side of the page.

Can I add "X" feature?

Certainly, get started at the Development page. If you want to share it and maybe get it included in this repo, create a pull request when you're ready. If you don't know what a Pull Request is, read through the github help article on the topic.
