name: settings
description: The agent + vault control panel — a guided interview to tune ANY setting and write it to every file that holds it. Use when the owner says "settings", "tune / adjust / change your settings", "change your address" / "change your name" / "rename you", "tune your personality / voice / style", "change the digest", "add / rename an area", "first-time setup", "personalize", "reconfigure", or "let's set you up". Runs the full first-time pass — the owner's setup interview, also launched by `alexandria interview` — OR jumps to a single setting. Writes both Agent/config.json (structured) and the Config/Content files (prose), keeping them in sync — including propagating an ADDRESS change to every file that embeds it. NOT the daily debrief, and NOT for filing pasted content (that's vault-ingestion).

# settings — folder-root adapter

The real playbook lives in the brain: **`Agent/skills/settings.md`** (this folder
is the vault root). Read that file and follow it exactly as written, using the
shipped CLI at `.alexandria/app/.venv/bin/alexandria` wherever it says
`alexandria`, and `.alexandria/app/.venv/bin/python` for
`python -m alexandria_vault.…` entrypoints.

If `Agent/config.json` does not exist, nothing is installed yet — stop and
follow `./CLAUDE.md` (the installer) instead of this skill.
