Configure In-The-Loop

Configure In-The-Loop

Read and optionally modify the in-the-loop configuration at ~/.in-the-loop/config.json.

Config Schema

{
  "frequency": "sometimes",
  "difficulty": "intermediate"
}

frequency — how often questions appear:

• every: every stop / every 5th tool use
• often: every 2nd stop / every 8th tool use
• sometimes (default): every 3rd stop / every 12th tool use
• rarely: every 5th stop / every 20th tool use

difficulty — question complexity:

• beginner: fundamental concepts
• intermediate (default): design decisions, trade-offs, best practices
• advanced: edge cases, security, performance, architecture

Instructions

1. Read ~/.in-the-loop/config.json. If it doesn't exist, treat the defaults above as the current config.
2. If the user provided arguments ($ARGUMENTS), parse them:
   • --frequency <value> — must be one of: every, often, sometimes, rarely
   • --difficulty <value> — must be one of: beginner, intermediate, advanced
   • Report an error if an unrecognized value is given.
3. If changes were requested, create ~/.in-the-loop/ if needed, then write the updated config as formatted JSON.
4. Display the current (or updated) configuration to the user.
