/eidos:config

View and change project settings.

Usage

/eidos:config
/eidos:config <key>

Instructions

1. Check Config

Read .eidos-config.yaml in the project root.

• File missing or incomplete (missing keys): tell the user and offer to run /eidos:init to set up. If they accept, invoke /eidos:init. After init completes, continue to step 2. If they decline, stop — config can't be changed without a complete file.
• File complete: continue to step 2.

Parse format: YAML key-value pairs.

• key: true / key: false = boolean
• key: 200000 = numeric value
• key: null = explicitly disabled/unset
• key: value = string value

2. Present Settings

Show all available settings with current values:

Eidos config (.eidos-config.yaml):

  git_workflow: true              # branch-per-task, commit-per-action, --no-ff merges
  status_reporting: true          # status report after each action
  skills_list: true               # eidos skill listing in session start context
  specs_and_concepts: true        # spec/concept listing, future items at session start
  session_context: true           # session orientation: branches, todos, plans, recent memory
  context_tracking_max: 200000    # max tokens for context window tracking (null to disable)
  mono_focus: true                # mono-repo sub-part focus injection at session start
  observation_images: true        # persist pasted images as named observation files in memory/
  ping_macos: ""                  # path to eidos-ping-app binary (macOS opt-in); empty disables /eidos:ping

Change which? (e.g., "git_workflow", "context_tracking_max 100000")

If a specific key was provided as argument, show only that setting and its description.

3. Available Settings

| Key | Default | Type | Description | |-----|---------|------|-------------| | git_workflow | true | bool | Branch-per-task, commit-per-action, --no-ff merges | | status_reporting | true | bool | Status report after each action (branch, commits, summary) | | skills_list | true | bool | Skill listing in session start context | | specs_and_concepts | true | bool | Spec/concept listing, open comments, future items at session start | | session_context | true | bool | Session orientation: branches, todos, plans, recent memory | | context_tracking_max | 200000 | int/null | Max tokens for context tracking; null to disable | | mono_focus | true | bool | Mono-repo sub-part focus injection at session start (reads external mapping) | | observation_images | true | bool | Persist pasted images as named observation files in memory/ | | ping_macos | (empty) | string | Path to the eidos-ping-app binary (macOS opt-in); empty disables /eidos:ping | | git_root | (omitted) | string | Relative path to parent .git directory (for nested projects) | | git_prefix | (omitted) | string | Branch name prefix (for nested projects) |

String keys are only present when explicitly set (e.g. via /eidos:init git detection flow).

4. Apply Changes

How changes work depends on the setting type:

• Boolean keys: toggle (true ↔ false). Just the key name is enough.
• Numeric/nullable keys: user provides a value. E.g. context_tracking_max 100000 or context_tracking_max null. If user provides just the key name, ask for the new value.
• String keys: user provides a value. E.g. git_prefix my-project.

Steps:

1. Apply the new value
2. Write the updated .eidos-config.yaml file
3. Commit the change (if git_workflow is enabled)
4. Show updated state

5. Config File Format

When writing .eidos-config.yaml, each setting gets a # comment on the line above:

# branch-per-task, commit-per-action, --no-ff merges
git_workflow: true
# status report after each action
status_reporting: true
# eidos skill listing in session start context
skills_list: true
# spec/concept listing, future items at session start
specs_and_concepts: true
# session orientation: branches, todos, plans, recent memory
session_context: true
# max tokens for context window tracking (null to disable), used to warn about compaction early
context_tracking_max: 200000
# mono-repo sub-part focus injection at session start
mono_focus: true
# persist pasted images as named observation files in memory/
observation_images: true
# path to eidos-ping-app binary (macOS opt-in); empty disables /eidos:ping
ping_macos: ""

Comments are preserved when changing values. String keys appear below other keys, separated by a blank line:

# persist pasted images as named observation files in memory/
observation_images: true

# nested project git
git_root: ../..
git_prefix: my-experiment
