Configuration

Configuration

Zinc reads configuration from workspace .zinc/config.yaml and global ~/.zinc/config.yaml.

mode: build
scope: project

Modes

mode controls default command policy in the governed shell.

• inspect: read-oriented work; modifying commands are denied by default.
• build: development work; common build/test/read commands are allowed and risky commands require confirmation.
• open: permissive work; commands are still recorded, but policy starts open.

Scopes

scope describes the intended filesystem boundary.

• project: stay inside the current workspace.
• home: stay inside the user home directory.
• system: allow system-wide work.

Configuration is intentionally small. Zinc 0.6 does not configure graphs, model providers, agents, or tool registries.
