# Settings

|
| `~/.companion/agent/settings.json` | Global (all projects) |

### Resources
|
|
|

These settings define where to load extensions, skills, prompts, and themes from.
|
|

|
Paths in `~/.companion/agent/settings.json` resolve relative to `~/.companion/agent`. Paths in `.companion/settings.json` resolve relative to `.companion`. Absolute paths and `~` are supported.
|

|
| Setting | Type | Default | Description |
|
|
| --------------------- | -------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------ |
|
|

|
| `enableSkillCommands` | boolean | `true` | Register skills as `/skill:name` commands |
|

Arrays support glob patterns and exclusions. Use `!pattern` to exclude. Use `+path` to force-include an exact path and `-path` to force-exclude an exact path.
|
|
|
|
#### packages
|
|
|
|
String form loads all resources from a package:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"packages": ["companion-skills", "@org/my-extension"]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Object form filters which resources to load:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"packages": [
|
|
{
|
|
"source": "companion-skills",
|
|
"skills": ["brave-search", "transcribe"],
|
|
"extensions": []
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [packages.md](packages.md) for package management details.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"defaultProvider": "anthropic",
|
|
"defaultModel": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
|
|
"defaultThinkingLevel": "medium",
|
|
"theme": "dark",
|
|
"compaction": {

"enabledModels": ["claude-*", "gpt-4o"],

"packages": ["companion-skills"]
|
|
}
|

```

## Project Overrides
|
|
|
|
Project settings (`.companion/settings.json`) override global settings. Nested objects are merged:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
// ~/.companion/agent/settings.json (global)
|
|
{
|
|
"theme": "dark",
|
|
"compaction": { "enabled": true, "reserveTokens": 16384 }
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// .companion/settings.json (project)
|
|
{
|
|
"compaction": { "reserveTokens": 8192 }
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Result
|
|
{
|
|
"theme": "dark",
|
|
"compaction": { "enabled": true, "reserveTokens": 8192 }
|
|
}
|
|
```
