For agents

Load this page when: you need to show, read or change a Trove setting from the terminal

  • Run trove config show --json to read every setting.
  • Change a setting with trove config set. Only skill.planMode and skill.citationBlock exist.
  • A change applies the next time an agent session starts.

Settings are stored in your account, so they follow you to every machine. The same switches are in Settings on the web.
