Configuration

Configuration

Zinc reads opaque configuration values.

Configuration files are read from:

.zinc/config.yaml
~/.zinc/config.yaml

Common configuration

defaults:
  run: openai-responses.software.responses

The value is a package reference. Zinc does not interpret it as shell behavior, model behavior, provider behavior, or package policy.

Why this design exists

Configuration should help Zinc find a package reference without forcing Zinc to understand every package setting.

Package settings belong in packages. Zinc keeps its own configuration small and opaque.

Design reason

Zinc stores configuration values. Packages decide what their settings mean.
