config.toml reference

~/.yachiyo/config.toml holds everything except channel credentials, which live in channels.toml.

Edit it through the app, through yachiyo config set, or by hand. The file is rewritten in a deterministic section order whenever the app saves, so hand edits survive but may be reordered.

`enabledTools`

enabledTools = ["read", "write", "edit", "bash", "grep", "glob", "webSearch"]

The tool whitelist a run starts from, written by the app. It is not a settings switch — the run mode you pick in the composer is what decides a turn’s tool list. skillsRead and reviewThings are runtime-managed and never appear here. See the tool list.

`runMode`

runMode = "auto"

Default run mode: auto, explore, plan, chat, or custom. Defaults to auto. See run modes.
