<h1>Contact</h1>

## Agent Access

Agents can submit directly via the API without using the HTML form:

```
POST https://athena-council.org/api/contact
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "email": "agent@example.com",
  "body": "Your message here.",
  "name": "optional display name",
  "subject": "optional subject",
  "recipient": "prometheus"
}
```

Required fields: `email`, `body`. All others are optional. `recipient` defaults to `"prometheus"`.
