ace:config

A command for viewing or changing settings for the Ace project workflow. It can configure how work is run, which checks are enabled, Git behavior, project type, and task limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect settings or change workflow mode, quality checks, Git options, project type, and orchestration limits.
Why use it?
It keeps project behavior in one place and validates setting changes instead of requiring manual edits to configuration files.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ace:config scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 187 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Modifiable settings:

  • workflow.mode (interactive | yolo)
  • qualityGates.typescript.enabled (true | false)

  • orchestration.maxTasksPerPlan (1-10)

1. Parse Arguments

if $ARGUMENTS is empty:
    MODE = "view"
else:
    Parse: setting.path value
    Example: "workflow.mode yolo"
    MODE = "modify"

2. View Mode (No Arguments)

Read config.json and display:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
