Configuration

nono-dev is configured via a nono-dev.toml file placed in the root of your project repository. The CLI searches upward from the current directory to find it.

Full Reference

[project]
repo = "org/repo"  # GitHub org/repo (auto-detected from git remote)

[worktree]
dir = ".worktrees"  # directory for git worktrees (default: ".worktrees")

[rollback]
enabled = true                     # enable nono rollback snapshots (default: true)
dest = "~/.nono/rollbacks"         # custom rollback destination (default: ~/.nono/rollbacks/)
exclude = [".git", "node_modules"] # patterns to exclude from snapshots (optional)

[prompts]
triage = "prompts/triage.md"   # custom system prompt for triage (optional)
fix = "prompts/fix.md"         # custom system prompt for fix (optional)
review = "prompts/review.md"   # custom system prompt for review (optional)
feature = "prompts/feature.md" # custom system prompt for feature (optional)

Sections

[project]

Key	Required	Description
repo	No	GitHub repository in org/repo format. Used by the gh CLI to fetch issues and PRs. If not set, derived automatically from the origin git remote URL.

[worktree]

Key	Default	Description
dir	.worktrees	Directory where git worktrees are created. Relative paths are resolved from the config file location.

Add this directory to your .gitignore:

.worktrees/

[rollback]

nono's rollback feature creates atomic snapshots of all file changes during a session, allowing you to restore the previous state if something goes wrong.

Key	Default	Description
enabled	true	Pass --rollback to all nono sessions.
dest	~/.nono/rollbacks/ (nono default)	Override the rollback snapshot destination. Defaults to nono's standard location outside the repo to avoid polluting git history.
exclude	[]	Patterns to exclude from rollback snapshots. Each pattern is passed as --rollback-exclude.

[prompts]

Override the default system prompts shipped with nono-dev. Paths are relative to the config file location.

Key	Description
triage	System prompt for the triage command
fix	System prompt for the fix command
review	System prompt for the review command
feature	System prompt for the feature command

When no override is set, nono-dev uses its built-in prompts. See Custom Prompts for guidance on writing your own.

Minimal Configuration

If your git remote is set up, no configuration is required at all -- repo is derived from the origin remote URL. An empty nono-dev.toml or no file at all works with defaults.

To override the repo explicitly:

[project]
repo = "always-further/nono"
