name: config-reader description: Read project config from .agents.yml and .agents.local.yml with local overrides. Supports dot notation for nested fields. Invoke with args " ". argument-hint: " [default]"

Config Reader

Read and merge .agents.yml and .agents.local.yml configuration files. Local config overrides base config.

Requires: yq (brew install yq or snap install yq)

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS format: <field> [default]

Examples:

• auto_preview false - get top-level field, default to "false"
• plan.auto_create_task false - get nested field, default to "false"
• tech_stack generic - get top-level field, default to "generic"
• browser.type chrome - get nested browser type
• toolbox.build_task.design_system_path - get deeply nested field

Execution

Run the config reader script with parsed arguments:

bash scripts/config_reader.sh FIELD DEFAULT

Replace FIELD and DEFAULT with the parsed arguments.

Return Value

Return ONLY the config value (single line):

• true
• rails
• github

Merge Logic

1. Local checked first - .agents.local.yml wins if key exists
2. Fall back to base - .agents.yml if not in local
3. Default - provided default if neither has the key
