Configuration Commands - Automagik Suite Documentation

Overview

Forge configuration is managed through a combination of:

Configuration file: .forge/config.json
Environment variables: Runtime settings
Web UI settings: Visual configuration interface

Claude Code

{
  "executors": {
    "claude-code": {
      "enabled": true,
      "api_key_env": "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",
      "model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
      "max_tokens": 8192,
      "temperature": 0.7,
      "timeout": 300000
    }
  }
}

Cursor CLI

{
  "executors": {
    "cursor-cli": {
      "enabled": true,
      "cli_path": "/usr/local/bin/cursor",
      "args": ["--headless"],

      "model": "qwen-coder:latest"
    }
  }
}

Worktree Configuration

Fine-tune git worktree behavior:

{
  "worktrees": {
    // Enable git worktree isolation
    "enabled": true,

    // Where to create worktrees
    "base_path": "./.forge/worktrees",

    // Clean up when Forge exits
    "cleanup_on_exit": true,

    // Maximum simultaneous worktrees
    "max_concurrent": 5,

    // Branch name format: forge/task-{task-id}
    "branch_prefix": "forge/task-",

    // Auto-delete worktrees after merge
    "auto_delete_merged": true,

    // Keep worktrees for failed tasks
    "keep_on_failure": false,

    // Orphan cleanup interval (seconds)
    "cleanup_interval": 3600
  }
}

GitHub OAuth Configuration

Create GitHub OAuth App

Go to GitHub Settings

Navigate to: https://github.com/settings/developers

New OAuth App

Click “New OAuth App”Settings:

Application name: “Automagik Forge”
Homepage URL: http://localhost:3000
Authorization callback URL: http://localhost:3000/auth/callback

Get Client ID

Copy the Client ID from the OAuth app page

Set Environment Variable

export GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here

# Or add to .env file
echo "GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here" >> .env

Restart Forge

automagik-forge

GitHub authentication will now be available in Settings → GitHub

Configuration Validation

Validate your configuration:

# Start Forge and check logs
automagik-forge

# Look for configuration warnings:
# ✅ Configuration loaded successfully
# ⚠️  Missing GitHub OAuth configuration
# ⚠️  No API keys found for executors
# ❌ Invalid worktree path

# Check configuration file syntax
cat .forge/config.json | jq .

# Verify environment variables
env | grep -E 'FORGE|BACKEND|FRONTEND|ANTHROPIC|GOOGLE|OPENAI'

Configuration Backup

Manual Backup

# Backup configuration
cp .forge/config.json .forge/config.backup.json

# Backup entire .forge directory
tar -czf forge-backup.tar.gz .forge/

# Restore from backup
tar -xzf forge-backup.tar.gz

Export via API

# Export project configuration
curl http://localhost:5000/api/projects/{project-id}/export > config-backup.json

# Import configuration
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/projects/import \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @config-backup.json

Configuration Migration

From v0.3.x to v0.4.x

# Backup old config
cp .forge/config.json .forge/config.v3.backup.json

# Update structure (handled automatically on startup)
automagik-forge

# Verify migration
cat .forge/config.json | jq .

Key changes:

Added preferences section
New executor configuration format
Enhanced worktree settings

Advanced Configuration

Custom Executor

Add a custom AI agent executor:

{
  "executors": {
    "custom-agent": {
      "enabled": true,
      "type": "http",
      "endpoint": "http://localhost:8887/api/execute",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${CUSTOM_AGENT_TOKEN}"
      },
      "timeout": 600000
    }
  }
}

Proxy Configuration

Route executor requests through a proxy:

# HTTP proxy
export HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.company.com:8080
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.company.com:8080

# No proxy for localhost
export NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1

Rate Limiting

Configure executor rate limits:

{
  "executors": {
    "claude-code": {
      "rate_limit": {
        "requests_per_minute": 50,
        "tokens_per_minute": 100000
      }
    }
  }
}

Security Best Practices

Never commit these files:

.forge/config.json (may contain tokens)
.env (contains API keys)
.forge/db.sqlite (project data)

Add to .gitignore:

.forge/
.env

Secure API Keys

# Use environment variables, not config file
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

# Or use a secrets manager
# AWS Secrets Manager
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=$(aws secretsmanager get-secret-value \
  --secret-id forge/anthropic-key \
  --query SecretString \
  --output text)

# 1Password CLI
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=$(op read "op://Personal/Anthropic API Key/credential")

File Permissions

# Restrict config file permissions
chmod 600 .forge/config.json

# Restrict .forge directory
chmod 700 .forge/

Troubleshooting Configuration

Configuration not loading

# Check file exists
ls -la .forge/config.json

# Validate JSON syntax
cat .forge/config.json | jq .

# Check permissions
ls -l .forge/config.json

# View Forge logs
automagik-forge 2>&1 | grep -i config

Executor not working

# Verify API key is set
echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

# Check executor enabled in config
cat .forge/config.json | jq '.executors'

# Test API key manually
curl -H "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
  https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages

GitHub OAuth failing

# Verify client ID
echo $GITHUB_CLIENT_ID

# Check OAuth app settings on GitHub
# Callback URL must match: http://localhost:3000/auth/callback

# Clear cached tokens
rm .forge/github-token.enc

Port conflicts

# Find what's using the port
lsof -i :3000

# Use different ports
automagik-forge --port 3001 --backend-port 5001
