# Coyote configuration. Generated by the first-run wizard.
# Every setting is listed with its effective value and a short description.
# For richer examples of each section, see
# https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/blob/main/config.example.yaml
# ---- LLM ----
__MODEL_BLOCK__
temperature: null # Set default temperature parameter (0, 1)
top_p: null # Set default top-p parameter, with a range of (0, 1) or (0, 2) depending on the model
# ---- Behavior ----
dry_run: false # Display the messages that would be sent to the LLM without actually sending them
stream: true # Controls whether to use the stream-style APIs when querying for completions from LLM clients
save: true # Indicates whether to persist the conversation to messages.md for posterity
keybindings: emacs # Choose keybinding style (emacs, vi)
editor: null # Specifies the editor used to edit the input buffer or session. (e.g. vim, emacs, nano, hx). Defaults to $EDITOR
wrap: auto # Controls text wrapping (no, auto, <max-width>)
wrap_code: false # Enables or disables the wrapping of code blocks
# ---- Vault ----
# See the [Vault documentation](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/wiki/Vault) for more information on the Coyote vault.
#
# The secrets_provider tells Coyote where to read and write secrets referenced via {{SECRET_NAME}} syntax.
#
# Shorthand: set vault_password_file to enable the local provider with that password
# file (it cannot be a secret template).
#
# Explicit: set secrets_provider to one of the supported types below. When secrets_provider is set,
# vault_password_file is ignored. Note: secrets_provider itself cannot use secret template syntax.
# The vault must be initialized before any secrets can be resolved.
#
# Local (same as the shorthand above):
# secrets_provider:
# type: local
# password_file: ~/.coyote_password
#
# AWS Secrets Manager (requires an authenticated AWS CLI; see `aws sso login` or `aws configure`):
# secrets_provider:
# type: aws_secrets_manager
# aws_profile: default
# aws_region: us-east-1
#
# GCP Secret Manager (requires `gcloud auth application-default login`):
# secrets_provider:
# type: gcp_secret_manager
# gcp_project_id: my-project-id
#
# Azure Key Vault (requires `az login`):
# secrets_provider:
# type: azure_key_vault
# vault_name: my-vault-name
#
# gopass (requires the `gopass` CLI to be installed and initialized):
# secrets_provider:
# type: gopass
# store: my-store # Optional; omit to use the default store
#
# 1Password (requires the `op` CLI to be installed and signed in via `op signin`):
# secrets_provider:
# type: one_password
# vault: Production # Optional; omit to use the default vault
# account: my.1password.com # Optional; omit to use the default account
__SECRETS_BLOCK__
# ---- Function Calling ----
# See the [Tools documentation](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/wiki/Tools) for more details
function_calling_support: true # Enables or disables function calling (globally)
mapping_tools: {} # Alias for a tool or toolset
# Example:
# mapping_tools:
# fs: 'fs_cat,fs_ls,fs_mkdir,fs_rm,fs_write,fs_read,fs_glob,fs_grep'
enabled_tools: null # Which tools to enable by default.
# Accepts either a YAML list or a comma-separated string. Use 'all' to enable everything.
# Example (list form):
# enabled_tools:
# - fs
# - web_search_coyote
# Example (comma-separated form):
# enabled_tools: fs,web_search_coyote
visible_tools: null # Which tools are visible to be compiled (and are thus able to be defined in 'enabled_tools').
# Null/missing = all tools in the global tools dir are visible; [] = none;
# an explicit list makes only those tools visible.
# Example:
# visible_tools:
# - execute_command.sh
# - fs_cat.sh
# - fs_ls.sh
# ---- Skills ----
# Skills are modular knowledge or capability packs the LLM can load and unload mid-conversation.
# See the [Skills documentation](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/wiki/Skills) for more details.
skills_enabled: true # Master switch. Set to false to hide all skill management tools from the model.
# Skills also require `function_calling_support: true` above to work at all.
enabled_skills: null # Which skills are available by default (no role/agent/session active). null = all visible.
# Accepts either a YAML list or a comma-separated string.
# Example (list form):
# enabled_skills:
# - git-master
# - ai-slop-remover
# Example (comma-separated form):
# enabled_skills: git-master,ai-slop-remover
visible_skills: null # The universe of skills allowed to be enabled in any context. null = all installed.
# Example:
# visible_skills:
# - ai-slop-remover
# - code-review
# - git-master
# ---- Macros ----
# Macros are Coyote's custom commands: named sequences of REPL commands and prompts, invoked directly by name
# (a macro file named `review.yaml` runs as `.review [args]`; built-in commands always win a name collision).
# Workspace-local macros in `.coyote/macros/` shadow same-named global macros (skip them with --no-workspace-macros).
# See the [Macros documentation](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/wiki/Macros) for more details.
enabled_macros: null # Which macros are invocable by default (no role/agent/session active). null = all visible.
# An empty list means NO macros are invocable. Accepts either a YAML list or a
# comma-separated string. Roles, agents, and sessions may define their own
# `enabled_macros`; the most specific active one wins (session > agent > role > global).
# Example (list form):
# enabled_macros:
# - generate-commit-message
# Example (comma-separated form):
# enabled_macros: generate-commit-message,review
# ---- MCP Servers ----
# See the [MCP Servers documentation](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/wiki/MCP-Servers) for more details
mcp_server_support: true # Enables or disables MCP servers (globally)
mapping_mcp_servers: {} # Alias for an MCP server or set of servers
# Example:
# mapping_mcp_servers:
# git: github,gitmcp
enabled_mcp_servers: null # Which MCP servers to enable by default.
# Accepts either a YAML list or a comma-separated string. Use 'all' to enable everything.
# Example (list form):
# enabled_mcp_servers:
# - github
# - slack
# Example (comma-separated form):
# enabled_mcp_servers: github,slack,ddg-search
mcp_tools: null # Per-server MCP tool allowlists (glob patterns: * and ? supported).
# Tools that match no pattern are hidden from the model as if they
# don't exist. Stacks with the other allowlist layers (mcp.json
# `allowedTools`, role, agent, session, skill, graph node). Every
# configured layer must allow a tool, so layers only ever narrow.
# An empty list blocks all of a server's tools.
# Example:
# mcp_tools:
# github:
# - get_*
# - list_*
# slack: []
# ---- Auto-Continue (Todo System) ----
# The auto-continue system provides built-in task tracking for improved reliability.
# When enabled, the model can create todo lists and the system will automatically
# prompt it to continue when incomplete tasks remain.
# See the [Todo System documentation](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/wiki/TODO-System) for more information
auto_continue: false # Enable automatic continuation when incomplete todos remain (default: false)
max_auto_continues: 10 # Maximum number of automatic continuations before stopping (default: 10)
inject_todo_instructions: true # Inject default todo usage instructions into the system prompt (default: true)
continuation_prompt: null # Custom prompt used when auto-continuing. If null, uses built-in default
inject_skill_instructions: true # Inject a short hint pointing the model at `skill__list` when skills are enabled
# in this context. Only injected if `function_calling_support`, `skills_enabled`, and the
# effective enabled skill set is non-empty (default: true)
skill_instructions: null # Custom text used for the skill hint when injected. If null, uses built-in default
# ---- Prelude ----
repl_prelude: null # Set a default session or role for REPL mode to use (e.g. role:<name>, session:<name>, <session>:<role>)
cmd_prelude: null # Set a default session or role for CMD mode to use (e.g. role:<name>, session:<name>, <session>:<role>)
agent_session: null # Set a session to use when starting an agent (e.g. temp, default)
# ---- Session ----
# See the [Session documentation](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/wiki/Sessions) for more information
save_session: null # Controls the persistence of the session. If true, auto save; if false, don't auto-save; if null, ask the user what to do
compression_threshold: 4000 # Compress the session when the token count reaches or exceeds this threshold
compression_keep_last: 0 # Number of most-recent messages to keep visible after compression (0 = compress all messages)
summarization_prompt: null # The text prompt used for creating a concise summary of session messages. If null, uses built-in default
summary_context_prompt: null # The text prompt used for including the summary of the entire session as context to the model. If null, uses built-in default
max_tool_result_chars: null # Cap on tool result characters forwarded to the model per call (null = no cap)
max_concurrent_jobs: null # Max background jobs (`job__*` tools) running at once per context (null = 5; 0 disables background jobs entirely)
# ---- Memory ----
# See the [Memory documentation](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/wiki/Memory) for more information.
# Memory is opt-in by workspace presence (`.coyote/memory/MEMORY.md`) and global
# presence (`<config_dir>/memory/MEMORY.md`). Set `memory: false` to disable
# even when memory files exist. The cascade is: agent > session > role > app.
# Bootstrap with `coyote --init-memory [global|workspace]` to create the marker file
# the LLM needs before it will write any memory.
memory: null # null = enabled when memory exists on disk; true = force on; false = force off
memory_cap_with_tools: null # Char cap for injected memory when function calling is available (null = 6000).
# Only MEMORY.md indexes are injected; the LLM uses memory__read to fetch drill files.
memory_cap_without_tools: null # Char cap when function calling is unavailable (null = 12000).
# Indexes plus drill file bodies are injected up to this cap.
# ---- Workspace Instructions ----
# Human-curated project instructions injected read-only into the system prompt, in full.
# Coyote walks up from the current directory and injects the first match from the file
# chain below (per directory, in order). Scaffold with `coyote --init-instructions`.
# Disable per-invocation with --no-workspace-instructions, or override the chain with
# repeatable --workspace-instructions-file flags.
workspace_instructions: null # null/true = inject when an instructions file exists; false = never inject
workspace_instructions_files: null # File name chain to search, in priority order.
# Default: [COYOTE.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md]
# Set to a custom list to reorder or drop fallbacks, e.g.:
# workspace_instructions_files: [COYOTE.md]

rag_top_k: 5 # Specifies the number of documents to retrieve for answering queries
rag_chunk_size: null # Defines the size of chunks for document processing in characters
rag_chunk_overlap: null # Defines the overlap between chunks
rag_template: null # Defines the query structure using variables like __CONTEXT__, __SOURCES__, and __INPUT__
# to tailor searches to specific needs. If null, uses built-in default
rag_extractor_model: null # LLM model for graph-based entity/relationship extraction; when set, enables a graph RAG signal alongside vector and BM25
rag_extractor_prompt: null # Custom extraction prompt template; must contain __CHUNK__ placeholder; defaults to built-in prompt when null
rag_graph_hops: 1 # Number of hops to expand from matched entities at query time (0 = seed nodes only; 1 = direct neighbors; increase for denser graphs)
# Define document loaders to control how RAG and `.file`/`--file` load files of specific formats.
document_loaders: {}
# You can add custom loaders using the following syntax:
# <file-extension>: <command-to-load-the-file>
# Note: Use `$1` for input file and `$2` for output file. If `$2` is omitted, use stdout as output.
# Examples:
# document_loaders:
# pdf: 'pdftotext $1 -' # https://poppler.freedesktop.org
# docx: 'pandoc --to plain $1' # https://pandoc.org
# jina: 'curl -fsSL https://r.jina.ai/$1 -H "Authorization: Bearer {{JINA_API_KEY}}"' # Requires a Jina API key in the Coyote vault
# ---- Appearance ----
highlight: true # Controls syntax highlighting
raw_markdown: false # When true, render markdown as raw text with syntax highlighting only. When false (default), transforms markdown syntax (headings, bold, lists, etc.) into styled terminal output
theme: null # null = the built-in dark theme; set to `light` for the built-in light theme.
# Custom themes: place a `dark.tmTheme` or `light.tmTheme` file in the Coyote config
# directory and it is used in place of the corresponding built-in.
# ---- REPL Prompt ----
# Custom REPL left/right prompts; see the [REPL Prompt Documentation](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/wiki/REPL-Prompt) for more information

# '{color.red}{model}){color.green}{?session {?agent {agent}>}{session}{?role /}}{!session {?agent {agent}>}}{role}{?rag @{rag}}{color.cyan}{?session )}{!session >}{color.reset} '
right_prompt: null # If null, uses the built-in default:
# '{color.cyan}{?reasoning_effort [{reasoning_effort}] }{color.purple}{?session {?consume_tokens {consume_tokens}({consume_percent}%)}{!consume_tokens {consume_tokens}}}{color.reset}'
# ---- Miscellaneous ----
user_agent: null # Set User-Agent HTTP header, use `auto` for coyote/<current-version>
save_shell_history: true # Whether to save shell execution command to the history file
sync_models_url: null # URL to sync model changes from. If null, uses the built-in default:
# https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/refs/heads/main/models.yaml
# ---- Clients ----
# See the [Clients documentation](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/wiki/Clients) for more details
