Configuration

All tuning lives in config/system.yaml.

Sections

Section Controls
pools Target sizes (2-7), spawn cooldown, health check intervals
mesh Gossip rate, Hebbian decay/reward rates, signal TTL
consensus Min votes, approval threshold, trust priors (Beta distribution), decay rate
cognitive LLM endpoint, model tiers (fast/standard/deep), token budget, concurrency limit, attention parameters
memory Max episodes, relevance threshold
dreaming Idle threshold, replay count, strengthening/weakening factors, prune threshold

LLM Tiers

ProbOS supports three LLM tiers for different use cases:

Tier Use Case
fast Simple operations, quick responses
standard General-purpose decomposition
deep Complex multi-step reasoning

Switch tiers at runtime with /tier fast|standard|deep.

Pool Sizing

Each agent pool has a target size. The adaptive scaler adjusts pool sizes based on demand — pools handling high load grow, idle pools shrink back to their minimum.

pools:
  filesystem:
    target_size: 3
    min_size: 1
    max_size: 7
