knosh init

Write a default Knosh configuration file.

Synopsis

knosh init [--global]

Description

init writes a JSON file containing all configuration defaults. Run it once to create a starting point before customizing Knosh's settings.

Without --global, the file is written to .knosh.json in the current directory, which applies only to that project. With --global, two things happen:

  • The global config file is written to ~/.config/knosh/knosh.json and applies to all projects that do not have a local config.
  • The default agents directory (~/.config/knosh/agents/) is created so you can immediately add agent files.

Options

--global
Write to ~/.config/knosh/knosh.json instead of .knosh.json in the current directory.

Examples

Create a global config:

knosh init --global
# Config written to /Users/alice/.config/knosh/knosh.json
# Agents directory created at /Users/alice/.config/knosh/agents

Create a project-local config:

cd my-project
knosh init
# Config written to .knosh.json
