scriptorium/docs/config/config-yml.md

Main config.yml

config.yml defines application-level defaults used by CLI commands.

By default, Scriptorium looks for /etc/scriptorium/config.yml. You can also pass --config PATH.

Complete Example

prompt_dir: ./prompts
profile_dir: ./profiles
schema_dir: ./schemas

server:
  addr: :8080

defaults:
  render_format: text

Available Options

• prompt_dir (optional): Default directory for prompt definition YAML files.
• profile_dir (optional): Default directory for execution profile YAML files.
• schema_dir (optional): Base directory for JSON schema files used by json_schema validation.

server

• addr (optional): HTTP server listen address for scriptorium serve.

defaults

• render_format (optional): Default output format for scriptorium render.
• Allowed values: text, json.

Precedence

For run/render/serve settings, precedence is:

1. Explicit CLI flags
2. config.yml
3. Built-in defaults

Notes and Rules

• Unknown YAML fields fail to load (strict decoding).
• This file does not accept API keys.
• config.yml sets directory/server defaults only; prompt/profile content remains in their own files.
