Configuration
RedCell is configured via a simple TOML file stored in your home directory or through environment variables.
Configuration File (config.toml)
Settings are read from ~/.redcell/config.toml. You can specify your default model, reasoning effort, output preferences, and tool settings here.
~/.redcell/config.toml
model = "glm-5.2"
model_reasoning_effort = "medium"
output_format = "markdown"
Environment Variables
Environment variables take precedence over configuration file settings and are recommended for scripting and CI/CD pipelines:
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| REDCELL_HOME | Config and state directory. | ~/.redcell |
| REDCELL_BASE_URL | Control-plane host the CLI talks to. | https://redcell.sh |
| REDCELL_RELEASE | Pin the CLI to a specific version. | latest |
| REDCELL_MODEL | Override the default reasoning model. | glm-5.2 |
