config

config is a command for coding agents from ChristopherKahler/paul. It costs 0 tokens per session (800 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for managing PAUL project settings and integrations in a .paul/config.md file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or inspect project configuration, enable or disable SonarQube code scanning, manage the Enterprise Plan Audit, or reset settings.
Why use it?
It gives the project one place to see and change whether supported services and review checks are configured.

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

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 4d 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.

What it actually says

<when_to_use>

  • Enable SonarQube after project init
  • Disable an integration
  • View current configuration
  • Change project settings </when_to_use>

Step 1: Check for existing config

ls .paul/config.md 2>/dev/null

If config exists:

Current configuration:

[Display config.md contents]

What would you like to do?
[1] Enable/disable integration
[2] View full config
[3] Reset to defaults

If config doesn't exist:

No configuration found.

Would you like to set up project configuration?
[1] Yes, create config
[2] Cancel

Step 2: Handle user choice

For new config or "Enable/disable integration":

Available integrations:

[1] SonarQube - Code quality scanning
    Status: [enabled/disabled/not configured]
[2] Enterprise Plan Audit - Architectural review gate
    Status: [enabled/disabled/not configured]

[3] Done - save and exit

If user selects SonarQube:

SonarQube integration:

Current: [enabled/disabled/not configured]

[1] Enable
[2] Disable
[3] Back

If enabling:

  • Prompt for project_key (default: directory name)
  • Create/update config.md with sonarqube.enabled = true

If disabling:

  • Update config.md with sonarqube.enabled = false

If user selects Enterprise Plan Audit:

Enterprise Plan Audit:

Current: [enabled/disabled/not configured]

[1] Enable
[2] Disable
[3] Back

If enabling:

  • Create/update config.md with enterprise_plan_audit.enabled = true
  • Inform: "After /paul:plan, you'll be prompted to run /paul:audit before APPLY."

If disabling:

  • Update config.md with enterprise_plan_audit.enabled = false
  • Inform: "Plans will go directly from PLAN to APPLY without audit suggestion."

Step 3: Write config

Create or update .paul/config.md:

# Project Config

**Project:** [project_name]
**Updated:** [timestamp]

## Project Settings

```yaml
project:
  name: [project_name]
  version: [version or "0.0.0"]

Integrations

SonarQube

sonarqube:
  enabled: [true/false]
  project_key: [key]

Enterprise Plan Audit

enterprise_plan_audit:
  enabled: [true/false]

Preferences

preferences:
  auto_commit: false
  verbose_output: false

Config updated: [timestamp]


**Step 4: Confirm**

════════════════════════════════════════ CONFIG UPDATED ════════════════════════════════════════

Integrations: SonarQube: [enabled/disabled] Enterprise Plan Audit: [enabled/disabled]

Config saved to: .paul/config.md

──────────────────────────────────────── [If SonarQube just enabled:] ▶ NEXT: /paul:quality-gate Run your first code quality scan.

[If Enterprise Plan Audit just enabled:] ▶ Enterprise audit will run between PLAN and APPLY. After /paul:plan, you'll be prompted to run /paul:audit.

[Otherwise:] Configuration complete. ────────────────────────────────────────


</process>

<output>
- `.paul/config.md` created or updated
- Integration status changed as requested
- Clear next steps if applicable
</output>

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.

config is a command published in the GitHub repository ChristopherKahler/paul (1,212 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 800 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
