Config

Configure Cogitation

View or update project configuration stored in EC.

Announce: "I'm using the config skill to manage project settings."

The Flow

Load Current → Present → Modify → Save → Verify

Step 1: Load Current Configuration

ec_search:
  query: project config
  type: config
  area: project

If no config found:

"No configuration found. Want to initialize cogitation for this project?"

If yes → Use @init

Step 2: Present Current Settings

## Current Configuration

| Setting | Value |
|---------|-------|
| Test command | `pnpm test` |
| Lint command | `pnpm lint` |
| Build command | `pnpm build` |
| Branch convention | `feat/fix/chore` |

What would you like to change?

Step 3: Modify Settings

Use AskUserQuestion:

{
  "questions": [{
    "question": "Which setting do you want to modify?",
    "header": "Setting",
    "options": [
      { "label": "Test command", "description": "Command to run tests" },
      { "label": "Lint command", "description": "Command to check types/lint" },
      { "label": "Build command", "description": "Command to build project" },
      { "label": "Branch convention", "description": "How branches are named" }
    ],
    "multiSelect": true
  }]
}

For each selected setting, ask for the new value:

{
  "questions": [{
    "question": "What should the test command be?",
    "header": "Test",
    "options": [
      { "label": "pnpm test", "description": "pnpm package manager" },
      { "label": "npm test", "description": "npm package manager" },
      { "label": "go test ./...", "description": "Go testing" },
      { "label": "cargo test", "description": "Rust testing" }
    ],
    "multiSelect": false
  }]
}

Step 4: Save Updated Configuration

1. Invalidate old config:

ec_invalidate:
  id: <old_config_id>

2. Store new config:

ec_add:
  type: config
  area: project
  content: |
    test_command: <new value>
    lint_command: <new value>
    build_command: <new value>
    branch_convention: <new value>
  rationale: Updated project configuration

Step 5: Verify

Configuration Updated

Setting	Old	New
Test	pnpm test	npm test

Changes take effect immediately for all cogitation skills.

Quick Commands

For fast updates, users can specify directly:

• "Set test command to go test ./..."
• "Change lint to npm run lint"
• "Use feat/bugfix branching"

Parse the intent and update accordingly without full Q&A flow.
