Configuration File
You might say
Help me update the default model in the AI tool's config file to DeepSeek, and increase the timeout limit to 60 seconds.
A configuration file stores software settings in a file for the program to read at startup or runtime.For example, an AI tool may read its model, endpoint, timeout, and permission settings from a config file, while project rules describe the stack and collaboration conventions for the current codebase. A config may reference secret variable names, but real secrets belong in environment variables or a secret manager and must not be tracked by git.
