AC Config Manager Skill

AC Config Manager

Centralized configuration management for the Auto-Claude replication skill set.

Overview

Manages all configuration for autonomous coding:

Environment variables
Provider settings (LLM, embeddings, memory)
Build configuration
Safety limits
Path management

Quick Start

Load Configuration

from scripts.config_manager import ConfigManager

config = ConfigManager(project_dir)
settings = config.load()

# Access settings
model = settings.model  # claude-opus-4-5-20251101
max_iterations = settings.max_iterations  # 50

Create Configuration

config.create_default_config()
# Creates .claude/autonomous-config.json with defaults

Update Configuration

config.update({
    "max_iterations": 30,
    "max_cost_usd": 15.00,
    "verbose": True
})

Configuration Schema

.claude/autonomous-config.json

{
  "enabled": true,
  "objective": "Build feature X",
  "success_criteria": [
    "All tests pass",
    "Code coverage > 80%"
  ],
  "max_iterations": 50,
  "max_cost_usd": 20.00,
  "max_consecutive_failures": 3,
  "max_runtime_minutes": 480,
  "analyzer_model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
  "verbose": false,
  "notify_on_complete": true
}

Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Default | Description | |----------|----------|---------|-------------| | ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | Yes | - | API key for Claude | | AUTO_BUILD_MODEL | No | claude-opus-4-5-20251101 | Model for builds | | DEFAULT_BRANCH | No | auto-detect | Base branch | | GRAPHITI_ENABLED | No | true | Enable memory | | GRAPHITI_LLM_PROVIDER | No | openai | LLM for memory | | GRAPHITI_EMBEDDER_PROVIDER | No | openai | Embeddings | | DEBUG | No | false | Debug logging | | DEBUG_LEVEL | No | 1 | Verbosity (1-3) |

Build Configuration

@dataclass
class BuildConfig:
    model: str = "claude-opus-4-5-20251101"
    max_thinking_tokens: dict = field(default_factory=lambda: {
        'planner': 5000,
        'coder': None,
        'qa_reviewer': 10000,
        'qa_fixer': None
    })
    max_iterations: int = 50
    max_parallel_agents: int = 4
    skip_qa: bool = False
    timeout_ms: int = 600000

Operations

1. Load Configuration

settings = config.load()
# Merges: defaults → env vars → config file → overrides

2. Validate Configuration

errors = config.validate()
if errors:
    for error in errors:
        print(f"Config error: {error}")

3. Get Provider Settings

memory_config = config.get_memory_config()
# Returns Graphiti configuration

build_config = config.get_build_config()
# Returns build settings

4. Path Management

paths = config.get_paths()
# Returns:
#   specs_dir: .auto-claude/specs/
#   worktrees_dir: .worktrees/auto-claude/
#   memory_dir: .claude/memory/
#   checkpoints_dir: .claude/checkpoints/

Default Values

| Setting | Default | Description | |---------|---------|-------------| | enabled | false | Autonomous mode | | max_iterations | 50 | Max loop iterations | | max_cost_usd | 20.00 | Budget limit | | max_consecutive_failures | 3 | Before escalation | | max_runtime_minutes | 480 | 8 hour limit | | context_threshold | 0.85 | Trigger handoff | | auto_checkpoint | true | Create checkpoints |
