Configure Cogitation

Cogitation reads config from two places:

• EC memory (type: config) — commands and conventions: test/lint/build commands, branch convention. Managed in this skill's Steps 1–5.
• .cogitation/config.json (repo root, version-controlled) — feature toggles. Defaults are conservative (everything off). See "Feature toggles" below.

Announce: "I'm using the config skill to manage project settings."

The Flow

Load Current → Present → Modify → Save → Verify

Step 1: Load Current Configuration

ec_search:
  query: project config
  type: config
  area: project

If no config found:

"No configuration found. Want to initialize cogitation for this project?"

If yes → Use @cog-init

Step 2: Present Current Settings

## Current Configuration

| Setting | Value |
|---------|-------|
| Test command | `pnpm test` |
| Lint command | `pnpm lint` |
| Build command | `pnpm build` |
| Branch convention | `feat/fix/chore` |

Step 3: Modify Settings

Use AskUserQuestion:

{
  "questions": [{
    "question": "Which setting do you want to modify?",
    "header": "Setting",
    "options": [
      { "label": "Test command", "description": "Command to run tests" },
      { "label": "Lint command", "description": "Command to check types/lint" },
      { "label": "Build command", "description": "Command to build project" },
      { "label": "Branch convention", "description": "How branches are named" }
    ],
    "multiSelect": true
  }]
}

For each selected setting, ask for the new value:

{
  "questions": [{
    "question": "What should the test command be?",
    "header": "Test",
    "options": [
      { "label": "pnpm test", "description": "pnpm package manager" },
      { "label": "npm test", "description": "npm package manager" },
      { "label": "go test ./...", "description": "Go testing" },
      { "label": "cargo test", "description": "Rust testing" }
    ],
    "multiSelect": false
  }]
}
