Settings Reference
This guide documents Fusion settings from packages/core/src/types.ts.
Settings Scopes
Fusion uses a two-tier settings system:
- Global settings (
~/.fusion/settings.json): user preferences shared across projects - Project settings (
.fusion/config.json): execution/runtime behavior for one project
At runtime, settings are merged. Project settings override global settings when keys overlap.
Settings API Endpoints
| Endpoint | Purpose |
|---|---|
GET /api/settings |
Get merged settings (global + project). |
PUT /api/settings |
Update project settings only. |
GET /api/settings/global |
Get global settings only. |
PUT /api/settings/global |

Remote Access settings (project-scoped)
Remote access settings are project-only (stored in .fusion/config.json), not global.
The canonical persisted shape is a nested remoteAccess object.
Use Remote Access runbook for setup prerequisites (Tailscale/Cloudflare), tokenized login-link security caveats, and operational troubleshooting. Keep this section as a schema reference.
| Setting | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
remoteAccess.enabled |
boolean |
false |
Master toggle for remote access orchestration. |
remoteAccess.activeProvider |
"tailscale" | "cloudflare" | null |
null |
Currently selected provider. |
remoteAccess.providers.tailscale.enabled |
boolean |
false |
Enables Tailscale provider configuration. |
remoteAccess.providers.tailscale.hostname |
string |
"" |
Optional serve hostname label for Tailscale. |
remoteAccess.providers.tailscale.targetPort |
number |
0 |
Local port exposed by Tailscale when configured. |
remoteAccess.providers.tailscale.acceptRoutes |
boolean |
false |
Accept subnet routes when supported by local Tailscale config. |
remoteAccess.providers.cloudflare.enabled |
boolean |
false |
Enables Cloudflare tunnel configuration. |
remoteAccess.providers.cloudflare.quickTunnel |
boolean |
false |
Enables Cloudflare Quick Tunnel mode (cloudflared tunnel --url) with no account/token requirement; named tunnel fields are ignored while enabled. |
remoteAccess.providers.cloudflare.tunnelName |
string |
"" |
Named tunnel identifier for cloudflared tunnel run when quickTunnel is false. |
remoteAccess.providers.cloudflare.tunnelToken |
string | null |
null |
Tunnel token value (treat as secret; do not log raw values) for named tunnel mode. |
remoteAccess.providers.cloudflare.ingressUrl |
string |
"" |
Preferred public ingress URL for named tunnel mode; in quick tunnel mode the live trycloudflare.com URL comes from runtime status. |
remoteAccess.tokenStrategy.persistent.enabled |
boolean |
true |
Enables persistent remote-auth token mode. |
remoteAccess.tokenStrategy.persistent.token |
string | null |
null |
Persistent remote-auth token. |
remoteAccess.tokenStrategy.shortLived.enabled |
boolean |
false |
Enables short-lived token generation. |
remoteAccess.tokenStrategy.shortLived.ttlMs |
number |
900000 |
Default short-lived token TTL in milliseconds (15 minutes). |
remoteAccess.tokenStrategy.shortLived.maxTtlMs |
number |
86400000 |
Maximum allowed short-lived token TTL (24 hours). |
remoteAccess.lifecycle.rememberLastRunning |
boolean |
false |
Enables safe startup restore attempts when prior-running markers + prerequisites are valid. |
remoteAccess.lifecycle.wasRunningOnShutdown |
boolean |
false |
Internal marker written by runtime lifecycle management; explicit manual stop clears this to prevent unintended restart restore. |
remoteAccess.lifecycle.lastRunningProvider |
"tailscale" | "cloudflare" | null |
null |
Internal provider marker used for startup restore gating; stale markers are cleared when restore is skipped/failed. |
Patch semantics for PUT /api/settings:
remoteAccesspatches are deep-merged so sibling branches are preserved.remoteAccess: nullclears the full project override (falls back to defaults).- Nested
nullclears only the targeted nested key/branch.
Examples:
{
"remoteAccess": {
"providers": {
"tailscale": {
"enabled": true,
"hostname": "team.tail.ts.net",
"targetPort": 5173,
"acceptRoutes": true
}
}
}
}
The payload above updates only providers.tailscale and keeps providers.cloudflare, tokenStrategy, and lifecycle unchanged.
{
"remoteAccess": {
"tokenStrategy": {
"persistent": {
"token": null
}
}
}
}
The payload above clears only remoteAccess.tokenStrategy.persistent.token.
Runtime provider config/credential contract (engine remote-access manager):
- The tunnel manager consumes resolved provider configs (
TunnelProviderConfig) from callers; it does not read dashboard form state directly. - Provider config must include executable + args and may include credential references:
tokenEnvVar(env var name, value sourced from process/config env)credentialsPath(Cloudflare credentials file path)
- Missing/invalid credential references fail fast with
invalid_configstatus/error behavior. - Secret-bearing values are redacted in command previews and emitted tunnel logs before they are published to subscribers.
Runtime lifecycle semantics:
- Provider/settings edits remain manual-only and do not auto-start tunnel processes.
- Startup restore is best-effort and non-fatal; failed/skipped restore attempts surface machine-readable diagnostics through
/api/remote/statusand do not loop indefinitely. - Tunnel status payloads redact secret values (persistent/short-lived tokens and tokenized URLs are never returned raw from status diagnostics).
Short-lived token bounds are enforced server-side:
- Minimum TTL:
60_000ms (60s) - Maximum TTL:
86_400_000ms (24h)
Note: Agent
metadata.skillsis not a top-level project setting, but it is the primary mechanism for controlling execution-time skill selection. The engine'sbuildSessionSkillContextfunction reads this metadata from the assigned agent and uses it to resolve which skills are available in the agent session. Ifmetadata.skillsis absent or empty, the engine falls back to the built-infusionskill.
Model Selection Hierarchy
Fusion uses a dual-scope model settings system with five lanes. Global settings provide baseline defaults, and project settings provide per-project overrides.
Planning model
- Per-task
planningModelProvider+planningModelId - Project
planningProvider+planningModelId - Global
planningGlobalProvider+planningGlobalModelId - Project
defaultProviderOverride+defaultModelIdOverride - Global
defaultProvider+defaultModelId - Automatic provider/model resolution
Executor model

modelProvider+modelId - Project
executionProvider+executionModelId - Global

Note: Runtime fallback precedence logic is implemented in engine and dashboard routes. The hierarchies above reflect current runtime behavior.
Runtime Selection
Fusion supports multiple agent runtimes through a plugin-based runtime system. The default runtime is pi (the built-in runtime backed by the pi agent). Additional runtimes can be provided by plugins.
Available Runtimes
| Runtime ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
pi |
Default PI Runtime | Built-in runtime using the pi agent (default) |
paperclip |
Paperclip Runtime | Plugin-provided runtime (requires fusion-plugin-paperclip-runtime) |
hermes |
Hermes Runtime (experimental) | Plugin-provided experimental runtime hint (requires fusion-plugin-hermes-runtime) |
openclaw |
OpenClaw Runtime (experimental) | Plugin-provided experimental runtime hint (requires fusion-plugin-openclaw-runtime) |
Runtime Resolution Order
When creating an agent session, Fusion resolves the runtime as follows:
- No
runtimeHintconfigured → Use defaultpiruntime runtimeHintis"pi"or"default"→ Use defaultpiruntimeruntimeHintis a plugin runtime ID (e.g.,"paperclip","hermes", or"openclaw") → Look up and instantiate the plugin runtime- Plugin runtime unavailable → Fall back to default
piruntime (with warning log)
Configuring Runtime Selection
Runtime selection is configured at the agent level via runtimeConfig.runtimeHint:
{
"name": "Paperclip Executor",
"role": "executor",
"runtimeConfig": {
"runtimeHint": "paperclip"
}
}
{
"name": "Hermes Executor",
"role": "executor",
"runtimeConfig": {
"runtimeHint": "hermes"
}
}
{
"name": "OpenClaw Executor",
"role": "executor",
"runtimeConfig": {
"runtimeHint": "openclaw"
}
}
ℹ️
runtimeHint: "hermes"andruntimeHint: "openclaw"are experimental runtime paths. Runtime resolution and execution are supported when the corresponding runtime plugin is installed and enabled.
Important: There is no task-level runtime configuration. Tasks inherit the runtime from their assigned agent's runtimeConfig.
Fallback Behavior
If a configured runtime is unavailable (plugin not installed, not enabled, or factory error), Fusion logs a warning and falls back to the default pi runtime:
[runtime-resolver] [executor] Runtime "hermes" unavailable (not_found), falling back to default pi runtime
The fallback ensures tasks continue executing even if the configured runtime plugin is unavailable.
Installing Plugin Runtimes
To use plugin-provided runtimes like Paperclip, Hermes, or OpenClaw:
- Install one or more runtime plugins:
fn plugin install ./plugins/fusion-plugin-paperclip-runtime
fn plugin install ./plugins/fusion-plugin-hermes-runtime
fn plugin install ./plugins/fusion-plugin-openclaw-runtime
💡 In the dashboard, go to Settings → Plugins → Fusion Plugins. The Bundled Runtime Plugins section surfaces Hermes, Paperclip, and OpenClaw directly from shipped manifests, shows install status, and provides one-click install actions for runtimes that are not yet installed.
- Create agents with the appropriate
runtimeConfig:
{
"name": "Paperclip Executor",
"role": "executor",
"runtimeConfig": {
"runtimeHint": "paperclip"
}
}
{
"name": "Hermes Executor",
"role": "executor",
"runtimeConfig": {
"runtimeHint": "hermes"
}
}
{
"name": "OpenClaw Executor",
"role": "executor",
"runtimeConfig": {
"runtimeHint": "openclaw"
}
}
- Assign the agent to tasks that should use this runtime.
For more details, see the Paperclip Runtime Plugin documentation, Hermes Runtime Plugin documentation, and OpenClaw Runtime Plugin documentation.
OpenClaw Gateway Configuration
The OpenClaw runtime plugin connects to a running OpenClaw gateway instance through its OpenAI-compatible HTTP API. You can configure the gateway connection using plugin settings or environment variables.
| Setting | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
gatewayUrl |
string |
http://127.0.0.1:18789 |
URL of the OpenClaw gateway instance |
gatewayToken |
string |
(none) | Authentication token for the gateway |
agentId |
string |
"main" |
OpenClaw agent ID to use for sessions |
| Setting | Environment Variable | Default if Unset |
|---|---|---|
gatewayUrl |
OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_URL |
http://127.0.0.1:18789 |
gatewayToken |
OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN |
(none — unauthenticated) |
agentId |
OPENCLAW_AGENT_ID |
main |
Resolution priority is: plugin settings (PluginContext.settings) → environment variables → built-in defaults.
ℹ️ These are plugin-level settings configured when the OpenClaw runtime plugin is installed/enabled (for example in the dashboard Plugin Manager or plugin config). They are not agent-level
runtimeConfigfields. Agents only needruntimeConfig.runtimeHint: "openclaw"; gateway connection details are handled by the plugin.
⚠️
gatewayTokenis a secret. Never log it or commit it to version control. For production, prefer settingOPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKENin the environment.
For additional gateway/runtime details, see the OpenClaw Runtime Plugin documentation.
Prompt Overrides
Fusion supports fine-grained customization of AI agent prompts through the promptOverrides setting. This enables surgical customization of specific prompt segments without replacing entire role prompts (which agentPrompts does).
Supported Prompt Keys
| Key | Agent Role | Description |
|---|---|---|
executor-welcome |
executor | Introductory section for the executor agent |
executor-guardrails |
executor | Behavioral guardrails and constraints |
executor-spawning |
executor | Instructions for spawning child agents |
executor-completion |
executor | Completion criteria and signaling |
triage-welcome |
planning | Introductory section for the planning agent |
triage-context |
planning | Context-gathering instructions |
reviewer-verdict |
reviewer | Verdict criteria and format |
merger-conflicts |
merger | Merge conflict resolution instructions |
agent-generation-system |
— | System prompt for AI-assisted agent plan generation |
workflow-step-refine |
— | System prompt for refining workflow step descriptions into detailed agent prompts |
How It Works
-
Override Selection: When a prompt key is present with a non-empty value, that override replaces the default prompt segment.
-
Fallback to Defaults: Missing or empty values fall back to the built-in default content.
-
Cascade:
agentPromptsprovides full-role template customization, whilepromptOverridesprovides segment-level customization. Both can be used together —promptOverridesapplies to the segment even within a custom role template.
Clearing Overrides
To clear a specific override, set it to null:
{
"promptOverrides": {
"executor-welcome": null
}
}
To clear all overrides, set promptOverrides to null:
{
"promptOverrides": null
}
Configuration Example
{
"settings": {
"promptOverrides": {
"executor-welcome": "Custom executor welcome message for this project...",
"executor-guardrails": "## Custom Guardrails\n- Project-specific rules...",
"triage-welcome": "Custom planning introduction..."
}
}
}
JSON Examples
1) Team baseline for reliable automation
{
"settings": {
"maxConcurrent": 3,
"maxWorktrees": 6,
"mergeStrategy": "direct",
"autoResolveConflicts": true,
"taskStuckTimeoutMs": 600000,
"runStepsInNewSessions": true,
"maxParallelSteps": 2
}
}
2) Multi-model routing for plan/execute/review
{
"settings": {
"defaultProvider": "anthropic",
"defaultModelId": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
"planningProvider": "openai",
"planningModelId": "gpt-4.1",
"validatorProvider": "openai",
"validatorModelId": "gpt-4o"
}
}
3) Size-based preset auto-selection
{
"settings": {
"modelPresets": [
{
"id": "small-fast",
"name": "Small / Fast",
"executorProvider": "openai",
"executorModelId": "gpt-4o-mini"
},
{
"id": "large-deep",
"name": "Large / Deep",
"executorProvider": "anthropic",
"executorModelId": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
"validatorProvider": "openai",
"validatorModelId": "gpt-4o"
}
],
"autoSelectModelPreset": true,
"defaultPresetBySize": {
"S": "small-fast",
"L": "large-deep"
}
}
}
4) Agent runtime configuration (example agent config)
Runtime selection is configured at the agent level via runtimeConfig. These examples show agents configured to use Paperclip, Hermes, and OpenClaw runtime hints:
{
"name": "Paperclip Executor",
"role": "executor",
"runtimeConfig": {
"runtimeHint": "paperclip"
}
}
{
"name": "Hermes Executor",
"role": "executor",
"runtimeConfig": {
"runtimeHint": "hermes"
}
}
{
"name": "OpenClaw Executor",
"role": "executor",
"runtimeConfig": {
"runtimeHint": "openclaw"
}
}
ℹ️ Hermes and OpenClaw remain experimental runtime options. Runtime hint selection and runtime execution are both available when their plugins are installed.
To create a Hermes-configured agent via the API:
curl -X POST http://localhost:4040/api/agents \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "Hermes Executor",
"role": "executor",
"runtimeConfig": {
"runtimeHint": "hermes"
}
}'

Experimental Features
The experimentalFeatures setting provides a first-class mechanism for managing project-scoped experimental feature toggles. This allows teams to explicitly mark capabilities as experimental and toggle them on/off from a dedicated section in the Settings dashboard.
How It Works
-
Feature Registry: Features are stored as key-value pairs where keys are feature names and values indicate enabled/disabled state.
-
Default Behavior: Features not present in the map are considered disabled (fallback to
false). -
UI Integration: The Experimental Features section in Settings provides toggle controls for each configured feature.
-
Consumption: Engine code can read
experimentalFeatures[key]to check if a feature is enabled.
Example JSON Shape
{
"settings": {
"experimentalFeatures": {
"my-new-feature": true,
"another-experiment": false
}
}
}
Dashboard UI
The Experimental Features section in Settings shows:
- Feature name and enabled/disabled toggle for each configured feature
- Project scope indicator (features are project-specific, not global)
- Description explaining the purpose of experimental features
Common built-in dashboard flags include:

Background Memory Summarization & Audit
Fusion can automatically extract insights from project memory and prune transient content on a schedule. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled via settings.
How It Works
-
Scheduled Extraction: When
insightExtractionEnabledistrue, a background automation runs on the configuredinsightExtractionSchedule(default: daily at 2 AM). -
AI-Powered Analysis: The automation uses an AI agent to read canonical long-term memory (
.fusion/memory/MEMORY.md) from the layered.fusion/memory/workspace plus.fusion/memory-insights.md, extract new insights, and produce a pruned working memory candidate. -
Insight Merging: New insights are automatically merged into
.fusion/memory-insights.mdunder the appropriate category (Patterns, Principles, Conventions, Pitfalls, Context). Duplicates are skipped. -
Memory Pruning: The AI agent also produces a pruned version of working memory containing only durable items:
- Preserved: Architecture, Conventions, Pitfalls, Context sections with durable content
- Pruned: Task-specific notes, one-time observations, outdated entries
-
Audit Report: After each extraction run, a
.fusion/memory-audit.mdfile is generated with:- Working memory status (presence, size, sections)
- Insights memory status (insight counts by category)
- Last extraction results (success/failure, insight count, duplicates skipped)
- Pruning outcome (applied/skipped, size delta, reason)
- Health status (healthy/warning/issues)
- Individual audit checks
Output Files
| File | Description |
|---|---|
.fusion/memory/MEMORY.md |
Long-term memory (updated when pruning is applied and validated) |
| Legacy top-level memory file | Deprecated migration fallback (compatibility only; not canonical storage) |
.fusion/memory-insights.md |
Long-term insights distilled from working memory |
.fusion/memory-audit.md |
Human-readable audit report after each extraction |
Settings Interaction
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
insightExtractionEnabled |
Enables/disables the automation |
insightExtractionSchedule |
Cron expression for when extraction runs (default: "0 2 * * *" = daily at 2 AM) |
insightExtractionMinIntervalMs |
Minimum time between extractions (default: 24 hours) |
Safety Guarantees
- Pruning validation: Before pruning is applied, the candidate is validated to ensure it preserves at least 2 of 3 required sections (Architecture, Conventions, Pitfalls). Invalid candidates are safely ignored.
- Graceful failures: Malformed AI output does not destroy existing memory. Prior files are preserved.
- Isolated processing: Post-run callback errors are logged but do not flip successful runs to failed.
- Startup sync: Automation schedule is synchronized before the cron runner starts, preventing stale config races.
- Non-destructive by default: If the AI produces no prune candidate or validation fails, working memory remains unchanged.
Configuration Example
{
"settings": {
"insightExtractionEnabled": true,
"insightExtractionSchedule": "0 2 * * *",
"insightExtractionMinIntervalMs": 86400000
}
}

Scheduling Scope
Fusion supports scoped automations and routines:
- Global scope (
scope: "global") — Executes across all projects. Useful for backups, insight extraction, and cross-project maintenance. - Project scope (
scope: "project") — Executes within a single project only. Useful for project-specific CI, tests, and deployments.
Defaults and resolution:
- When
scopeis omitted, Fusion treats the entry asprojectscope withprojectId: "default". - Global-scope entries ignore
projectId. - Project-scope lookups require
projectId; missing values fall back to"default".
Settings that interact with scheduling:
autoBackupEnabled/autoBackupSchedule— Backup automation respects scope like any other scheduled task.insightExtractionEnabled/insightExtractionSchedule— Insight extraction can be configured as global or project-scoped.
