/config

Opens an interactive editor for CLI settings.

/config opens a full settings editor inside the CLI, including a version and account page, instead of hand-editing cli-config.json. It can, for example, toggle model shortcuts or Rewind on/off.

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Adjust several settings in one place

/config — e.g. set the sandbox default and the status line in one pass

Look up an unclear setting without knowing the JSON structure

/config — browse the categories instead of searching cli-config.json

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

The same setting needs to be rolled out to many machines automatically

Interactive per-session editing doesn't scale for rollouts.

Better: Edit and distribute cli-config.json directly in a scriptable way

Only sandbox options need adjusting

/config shows all categories, more than needed for a single sandbox setting.

Better: Use /sandbox directly
