<objective> Allow users to toggle workflow agents on/off and select model profile via interactive settings.

Updates .planning/config.json with workflow preferences and model profile selection.

Handles missing config keys: If config.json is missing any expected keys (e.g., pr_workflow, commit_docs), prompts user for preferences and adds them. </objective>

1. Validate Environment

bash

ls .planning/config.json 2>/dev/null

If not found: Error - run /kata:kata-new-project first.

2. Read Current Config and Detect Missing Keys

bash

cat .planning/config.json

Parse current values with defaults:

•mode — yolo or interactive (default: yolo)
•depth — quick, standard, or comprehensive (default: standard)
•parallelization — run agents in parallel (default: true)
•model_profile — which model each agent uses (default: balanced)
•commit_docs — commit planning artifacts to git (default: true)
•pr_workflow — use PR-based release workflow (default: false)
•display.statusline — show Kata statusline (default: true)
•workflow.research — spawn researcher during phase-plan (default: true)
•workflow.plan_check — spawn plan checker during phase-plan (default: true)
•workflow.verifier — spawn verifier during phase-execute (default: true)

Detect missing keys:

Check if these keys exist in config.json:

•commit_docs
•pr_workflow
•display.statusline

If any are missing, note them for step 3.

3. Present Settings (Including New Options)

If missing keys were detected:

Display notification:

⚠️  New config options available: {list missing keys}
   Adding these to your settings...

Use AskUserQuestion with current values shown:

code

AskUserQuestion([
  {
    question: "Which model profile for agents?",
    header: "Model",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Quality", description: "Opus everywhere except verification (highest cost)" },
      { label: "Balanced (Recommended)", description: "Opus for planning, Sonnet for execution/verification" },
      { label: "Budget", description: "Sonnet for writing, Haiku for research/verification (lowest cost)" }
    ]
  },
  {
    question: "Commit planning docs to git?",
    header: "Commit Docs",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Yes (Recommended)", description: "Track planning artifacts in git history" },
      { label: "No", description: "Keep planning private (add .planning/ to .gitignore)" }
    ]
  },
  {
    question: "Use PR-based release workflow?",
    header: "PR Workflow",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Yes (Recommended)", description: "Protect main, create PRs, tag via GitHub Release" },
      { label: "No", description: "Commit directly to main, create tags locally" }
    ]
  },
  {
    question: "Spawn Plan Researcher? (researches domain before planning)",
    header: "Research",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Yes", description: "Research phase goals before planning" },
      { label: "No", description: "Skip research, plan directly" }
    ]
  },
  {
    question: "Spawn Plan Checker? (verifies plans before execution)",
    header: "Plan Check",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Yes", description: "Verify plans meet phase goals" },
      { label: "No", description: "Skip plan verification" }
    ]
  },
  {
    question: "Spawn Execution Verifier? (verifies phase completion)",
    header: "Verifier",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Yes", description: "Verify must-haves after execution" },
      { label: "No", description: "Skip post-execution verification" }
    ]
  },
  {
    question: "Enable Kata statusline?",
    header: "Statusline",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Yes (Recommended)", description: "Show model, context usage, update status in statusline" },
      { label: "No", description: "Use default Claude Code statusline" }
    ]
  }
])

Pre-select based on current config values (use defaults for missing keys).

4. Update Config

Merge new settings into existing config.json (preserving existing keys like mode, depth, parallelization):

json

{
  "mode": "yolo|interactive",
  "depth": "quick|standard|comprehensive",
  "parallelization": true|false,
  "model_profile": "quality|balanced|budget",
  "commit_docs": true|false,
  "pr_workflow": true|false,
  "display": {
    "statusline": true|false
  },
  "workflow": {
    "research": true|false,
    "plan_check": true|false,
    "verifier": true|false
  }
}

Write updated config to .planning/config.json.

If display.statusline changed to true:

Update .claude/settings.json with statusline configuration:

bash

# Ensure .claude directory exists
mkdir -p .claude

# Check if settings.json exists and has statusLine
if [ -f .claude/settings.json ]; then
  # Check if statusLine already configured
  if grep -q '"statusLine"' .claude/settings.json; then
    echo "Statusline already configured in .claude/settings.json"
  else
    # Add statusLine to existing settings using node
    node -e "
      const fs = require('fs');
      const settings = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('.claude/settings.json', 'utf8'));
      settings.statusLine = {
        type: 'command',
        command: 'node \"\$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks/kata-statusline.js\"'
      };
      fs.writeFileSync('.claude/settings.json', JSON.stringify(settings, null, 2));
    "
    echo "✓ Statusline enabled in .claude/settings.json"
  fi
else
  # Create new settings.json with statusLine
  cat > .claude/settings.json << 'SETTINGS_EOF'
{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "node \"$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks/kata-statusline.js\""
  }
}
SETTINGS_EOF
  echo "✓ Created .claude/settings.json with statusline"
fi

The statusline hook will be automatically installed on next session start by Kata's SessionStart hook.

If display.statusline changed to false:

Remove statusline from .claude/settings.json:

bash

if [ -f .claude/settings.json ]; then
  node -e "
    const fs = require('fs');
    const settings = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('.claude/settings.json', 'utf8'));
    delete settings.statusLine;
    fs.writeFileSync('.claude/settings.json', JSON.stringify(settings, null, 2));
  "
  echo "✓ Statusline disabled in .claude/settings.json"
fi

If commit_docs changed to false:

•Add .planning/ to .gitignore (create if needed)
•Note: User should run git rm -r --cached .planning/ if already tracked

5. Confirm Changes

Display:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Kata ► SETTINGS UPDATED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Setting	Value
Model Profile	{quality/balanced/budget}
Commit Docs	{On/Off}
PR Workflow	{On/Off}
Statusline	{On/Off}
Plan Researcher	{On/Off}
Plan Checker	{On/Off}
Execution Verifier	{On/Off}

These settings apply to future /kata:kata-plan-phase and /kata:kata-execute-phase runs.

Quick commands:

•/kata:kata-set-profile <profile> — switch model profile
•/kata:kata-plan-phase --research — force research
•/kata:kata-plan-phase --skip-research — skip research
•/kata:kata-plan-phase --skip-verify — skip plan check

If PR Workflow was just enabled (changed from Off to On), append:

code

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 ⚠ RECOMMENDED: Enable Branch Protection
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

PR workflow is enabled. Protect your main branch:

  https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/settings/branches

Settings for `main`:
  ✓ Require a pull request before merging
  ✓ Do not allow bypassing the above settings
  ✗ Allow force pushes (uncheck)

This ensures ALL changes go through PRs.
