+# 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

+# ---- 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)

+                                 # Accepts either a YAML list or a comma-separated string. Use 'all' to enable everything.
+                                 # Example (list form):
+                                 #   enabled_tools:
+                                 #     - fs

+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
+visible_skills: null             # The universe of skills allowed to be enabled in any context. null = all installed.
+                                 # Example:
+                                 #   visible_skills:
+                                 #     - ai-slop-remover

+                                 #     - 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):

+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

+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 ----
+# See the [RAG Docs](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/coyote/wiki/RAG) for more details.
+rag_embedding_model: null        # Specifies the embedding model used for context retrieval
+rag_reranker_model: null         # Specifies the reranker model used for sorting retrieved documents; Coyote uses Reciprocal Rank Fusion by default

+                                 # 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:

+                                 # Note: Use `$1` for input file and `$2` for output file. If `$2` is omitted, use stdout as output.
+                                 # Examples:
