Config Reference ​

Complete reference for all fields available in .fullsend/config.yaml. For how these fields resolve through layered configuration, see Layered Config Reference. Fleet manifests can declare the same managed-configuration schema as defaults.config / per-repository config in repos.yaml (this is not config_base, which is the configuration-preset path written to .fullsend/config.base.yaml); see Repo Management — Managed configuration. For initial setup, see Configuring GitHub or Configuring GitLab.

Field details ​

Most fields are self-explanatory from the inline comments above. This section expands on fields where additional context helps.

version ​

Schema version string. Must be "1". Present in every config file.

forge ​

Hosting platform for the repository (github or gitlab). When omitted, fullsend auto-detects the forge from CI environment variables. Most installations do not need to set this explicitly.

tracker ​

Default issue tracker for fullsend issues commands' --tracker flag (github, gitlab, or jira). Distinct from forge — a repository hosted on GitHub may track issues in Jira. When omitted, --tracker is required on every fullsend issues invocation. See Jira Integration for cross-platform setup.

kill_switch ​

Emergency stop. When set to true, all agent dispatch is disabled for the repository. Uses pointer semantics in the layered config system — nil (omitted) falls through to parent; an explicit false is a local decision that does not fall through.

keep_history ​

Controls whether sticky comment updates (from post-review, post-comment, and issues post-comment) append the previous comment body as a collapsed "Previous run" <details> block. Default is true (history appended). Set to false when accumulated "Previous run" blocks add unwanted noise — for example, when comments are synced to Jira where <details> does not render as collapsible.

runtime ​

Default agent runtime for all agents in this repository. Valid values: claude, pi, codex. Per-agent overrides in the agents: list take precedence. Per-run overrides via --runtime flag or FULLSEND_RUNTIME env var take precedence over both. See Choose a Runtime for runtime comparison.

roles ​

Agent roles determine which GitHub Apps (and their associated credentials and permissions) are provisioned for the repository. Valid roles: fullsend, triage, coder, review, fix, retro, prioritize, e2e.

In the layered config system, roles uses replace-if-set semantics — an overlay that sets roles replaces the parent list entirely (no union). Omitting the key inherits the parent's roles. See Layered Config Reference.

agents ​

Registered agent sources and per-agent tuning. Each entry identifies an agent by source URL or local path, with optional overrides for runtime, model, effort, and sub-agent models.

  • source — URL (must include #sha256=<64-hex-char> integrity hash) or local path. URL sources must be covered by allowed_remote_resources.
  • name — Explicit name. When omitted, derived from the source filename (e.g., triage.yaml → triage). Must start with an alphanumeric character and contain only [a-zA-Z0-9_-].
  • ref — Branch or tag resolved when the agent was adopted via fullsend agent add. When present, fullsend agent update re-resolves against this ref. Empty for SHA-pinned or legacy entries.
  • enabled — Toggle the agent without removing its entry. A suppression-only entry (enabled: false, no source) disables a built-in or parent-layer agent by name.
  • runtime, model, effort — Per-agent overrides. An override-only entry (no source, at least one setting) tunes a built-in agent by name.
  • subagents — Map of persona names to model references. The default key sets the fallback for personas without an explicit entry. A ~ (null) value tombstones an inherited entry. Keys must be lowercase alphanumeric segments joined by hyphens (max 64 chars).

For Codex, a named child uses its explicit subagents.<name> override (<name> other than default), then FULLSEND_CODEX_SUBAGENT_MODEL, then subagents.default, then gpt-5.6-luna. The generic default role starts with the environment variable; subagents.default does not outrank it. Use OpenAI model IDs; Claude aliases, inherit, unknown persona names and other provider prefixes are rejected. A persona's Claude frontmatter does not override this selection. See Codex native children for the supported model lifecycle and companion instruction requirements.

In the layered config system, agents use keyed merge by DerivedName() — see Layered Config Reference.

For agent registration and management, see fullsend agent and Bring Your Own Agent.

allowed_remote_resources ​

URL prefixes allowed for remote resources in harness files — agent sources (agents: entries with URLs), policies, skills, plugins, profiles, providers, and base: composition. The org-level list acts as a fallback for all URL resolution: a URL is accepted if it matches either the harness-level or the org-level list. Default prefixes cover the fullsend and agents repositories.

In the layered config system, this field uses union-with-deny-all semantics: omitted inherits from parent; explicit empty ([]) denies all remote resources; a non-empty list is unioned with the parent's list. See Layered Config Reference.

create_issues ​

Controls cross-repo issue creation by agents. The allow_targets field restricts which orgs and repos agents may create issues in.

  • allow_targets.orgs — GitHub organizations. All repos in these orgs are allowed.
  • allow_targets.repos — Specific repos in owner/name format.

When omitted, agents cannot create issues outside the repository they are running in.

authorization ​

Lists extra sources of permission for triggering agents. The GitHub collaborator API always applies; a provider listed here is checked first. The only provider is owners_file:

  • An approvers entry in the repo-root OWNERS file gets write-level access (every slash command and custom agent). A reviewers entry gets triage-level access, which covers /fs-triage and /fs-review only: custom agents under agents: still require write.
  • An entry that names a key in OWNERS_ALIASES stands for that alias's members. A GitHub login equal to any alias key never matches, and nested aliases are not expanded.
  • A user not found in OWNERS falls through to the collaborator API.
  • If OWNERS or OWNERS_ALIASES cannot be parsed, or two alias keys differ only by case, the OWNERS check is skipped and only the collaborator API decides.
  • Only the flat root approvers/reviewers lists are read. Prow filters: blocks and per-directory OWNERS files are ignored.

Default: absent (collaborator API only). The field is not inherited from config.base.yaml: each repo opts in in its own config.yaml. Unknown or duplicate providers fail config validation.

status_notifications ​

Controls the comments and reactions fullsend posts on issues and PRs when agents start and complete.

  • comment.start — enabled (default) or disabled.
  • comment.completion — enabled (default), on_failure (comment only on failure), or disabled.
  • reaction.start — enabled or disabled (default). Reactions are an opt-in alternative that does not generate a GitHub notification.
  • reaction.completion — enabled, on_failure, or disabled (default).

mint_url ​

Token mint URL for credential issuance. The mint service issues short-lived credentials to agents based on their role. Default: https://mint.fullsend.sh (the hosted public mint). Custom mint deployments set this to their own URL. See Standalone Mint and Mint Administration.

inference ​

Groups inference backend settings under a single key. Each subfield resolves independently through the layered config system (an overlay can override project without restating provider).

  • provider — Inference backend identifier. Currently only vertex. Default: vertex.
  • project — GCP project ID for inference requests. No default — must be provided by the installer or an existing secret.
  • region — GCP region for inference. Default: global.
  • wif_provider — Full Workload Identity Federation provider resource name. No default — must be provided by the installer.
  • openai — OpenAI Workload Identity Federation identifiers (ADR 0092). The FULLSEND_OPENAI_* runner variables, when set, replace the resolved block entirely. All three fields must come from one source for a run. See OpenAI Workload Identity.

For setup instructions, see Getting Inference.

models ​

Model configuration, currently containing only aliases.

  • aliases — Per-key overrides of fullsend's pinned model alias table. Keys are alias names (opus, sonnet, haiku, fable); values are model ids or provider/id specs (e.g., claude-opus-4-6, google-vertex/gemini-3.8-flash). An unknown key is a validation error. A value must not be another alias name — aliases resolve once, so sonnet: opus would reach the provider as the literal id "opus". In the layered config system, aliases merge per key across layers. See Layered Config Reference.

Per-repo vs. org-mode ​

This reference documents the per-repo config format (stored in .fullsend/config.yaml within the target repository). Per-repo is the sole supported installation model going forward — per-org installation mode is deprecated (ADR 0044) and installations still on org mode should migrate.

Layered configuration ​

Per-repo config supports a two-file layered system:

FileRole
config.yamlOverlay — repo-specific customization (writable)
config.base.yamlBase — vendor preset or shared baseline (read-through)

Fields unset in the overlay fall through to the base layer, then to compiled-in code defaults. For complete merge rules, see Layered Config Reference.
