Knotic Settings

Knotic Settings is where you configure how Knotic runs.

Before Sessions, Brainstorming, or Architect can be useful, this is usually the first place you need to visit.

What Knotic Settings Is For

Use Knotic Settings to define:

• provider credentials
• default model behavior
• tool and iteration limits
• local runtime options
• autocomplete behavior
• remote session and context-related settings

Open Knotic Settings with Ctrl+Alt+,.

How Knotic Settings Works

Knotic Settings is a dedicated UI for the knotic.* settings namespace.

In practice, this is the screen that writes the settings used by the runtime for:

• Knotic license key
• OpenRouter, GitHub, Anthropic, and OpenAI API keys
• local endpoint and local model choices
• default model and reasoning behavior
• max tool iterations and related limits

How To Use Knotic Settings

1. Open Knotic Settings.
2. Configure the provider you want to use.
3. Set a default model that matches that provider.
4. Adjust limits or local options only after the base setup works.
5. Return to Sessions and verify that Knotic can answer without configuration errors.

If you plan to use a local endpoint, configure the endpoint URL and the local models here before expecting local flows to work.

How To Read The UI

Treat the UI as the operational setup screen for Knotic.

• credential area: provider keys and license setup
• runtime area: default model and reasoning-related behavior
• context and tool area: limits and automation settings
• local area: endpoint and local model setup
• autocomplete area: completion behavior and token limits

When To Use Knotic Settings

Open it when:

• Knotic is not configured yet
• you want to switch provider or update keys
• you need to change the default model
• local flows or autocomplete need adjustment
• a surface fails because its runtime configuration is incomplete
