Crew Config - User Configuration Manager

Reads and writes .claude/crew-config.json to customize CodeCrew behavior.

When to Activate

• User runs /crew config show|set|reset
• Other skills check for config overrides at startup

Config File

Location: .claude/crew-config.json (created on first set command)

Default values (used when file doesn't exist):

{
  "defaultMode": "full",
  "modelOverrides": {},
  "agentOverrides": {},
  "tokenBudgets": {
    "opus": 3000,
    "sonnet": 2000,
    "sonnet-planner": 2500,
    "haiku": 800
  },
  "autoIndex": true,
  "historyLimit": 50
}

Subcommands

show — Display Current Configuration

1. Read .claude/crew-config.json (if exists, otherwise show defaults)
2. Display:

Config: Mode={full|lite} | Auto-Index={on|off} | History={count}
Budgets: Opus {t}tk/{s}sk | Sonnet {t}tk/{s}sk | Sonnet-planner {t}tk/{s}sk | Haiku {t}tk/{s}sk
Model overrides: {none | list}
Agent overrides: {none | list}

set <key> <value> — Update a Setting

Supported keys:

Process:

1. Read existing .claude/crew-config.json (or start with defaults)
2. Validate the key and value
3. Apply the change
4. Write back to .claude/crew-config.json
5. Confirm: "Set {key} = {value}"

Validation rules:

• mode: must be full or lite
• agent.<name>.model: agent must exist in crew-team.json
• budget.<tier>: must be a positive number, max 5000
• Warn if user sets a Haiku agent to Opus (expensive, possible but discouraged)

reset — Restore Defaults

1. Delete .claude/crew-config.json
2. Confirm: "Configuration reset to defaults"

Integration with Other Skills

Other skills should check for config overrides at startup:

1. Check if .claude/crew-config.json exists
2. If yes, read it and apply overrides:
   - task-router / lite-router: check defaultMode to decide which router to use
   - skill-injector: check tokenBudgets for custom limits
   - execution-orchestrator: check autoIndex, modelOverrides
3. If no, use built-in defaults

This check adds ~50 tokens per skill invocation but enables full user customization.
