/ouroboros:ouroboros-config

Edit ~/.ouroboros/config.yaml: global and per-stage runtime and model choices, the LLM backend, install badges for missing CLIs, and env-override warnings.

ooo config
/ouroboros:ouroboros-config

Instructions

Pick the branch by one question: can the user open a browser pointed at this machine? Run commands with the active runtime's run_shell capability.

Branch A: local harness on the user's own machine

1. Launch in the background (it serves until stopped):

   if command -v ouroboros >/dev/null 2>&1; then
     ouroboros config
   else
     uvx --python '>=3.12' --from 'ouroboros-ai[tui]' ouroboros config
   fi
   

   In a non-interactive context it serves the settings app on a local web server and opens the browser. The uvx fallback covers a plugin-only install where ouroboros is not on PATH; in a development checkout use uv run ouroboros config.

2. Relay the http://localhost:<port> line in case the browser did not open.

3. Tell the user: edit, Save, then ask you to stop the server. A running MCP server may need a reconnect to pick up backend changes. ooo config reopens the settings any time; a saved model choice is never locked.

Branch B: remote host the user can reach (SSH box, home server)

ouroboros config --web --host 0.0.0.0 --no-browser

Relay the printed URL with this host's address substituted, plus the SSH tunnel fallback it prints (ssh -L <port>:localhost:<port> <this-host>).

Branch C: chat gateway with no browser path (e.g. hermes driven from Discord)

Do not start a server nobody can reach. Drive the same settings in chat:

1. Show the current state with ouroboros config show.

2. Offer a short menu with current values (default agent, per-stage agents, and models: auto, a tier, or a model id for every role) and ask what to change.

3. Apply each choice with the validated setter (same write path as the GUI):

   ouroboros config set orchestrator.runtime_backend <agent>
   ouroboros config set orchestrator.runtime_profile.stages.<interview|execute|evaluate|reflect> <agent>
   ouroboros config set models.default <auto|frugal|standard|frontier|model>  # every role
   ouroboros config set models.pin true                            # run the per-role ids below
   ouroboros config set clarification.default_model <model>        # interview & seed
   ouroboros config set execution.default_model <model>            # execute
   ouroboros config set evaluation.semantic_model <model>          # evaluate
   ouroboros config set resilience.reflect_model <model>           # reflect
   ouroboros config set llm.backend <backend>                      # internal LLM calls
   

4. Confirm with ouroboros config show and summarize what changed.

All branches

Relay any rejected set validation error or missing-dependency hint (pip install 'ouroboros-ai[tui]') verbatim. ouroboros config undo restores the configuration saved before the last change.

RFC #1392 State Breadcrumb Footer

End the final response with exactly one line ◆ <current state> → next: <recommended action>. Derive the state from live session state via ouroboros_session_status when available, otherwise from this skill's actual outcome. Never use a linear Step N of M footer; when the next step is a real choice, list 2-3 options.
