Configure

Copyright (c) 2026 Devrecated.

Instance data stays in the consumer product repo. Pick a folder name that is not autodevelop or third-party.

.cursor/skills/<instance>/autodevelop/config.json
.cursor/skills/<instance>/autodevelop/people.json
.cursor/skills/<instance>/autodevelop/.policies/
.cursor/skills/<instance>/autodevelop/.configuration/

First day: sign in, then connect the GitHub App. The pack may write Project and field ids into config.json. You can still fill the files by hand.

config.json

Required:

• github.owner, github.repo, github.projectNumber, github.projectId
• Status field id and status option ids from the Project
• mail.firestoreProject and mail.allowlist
• forbiddenProjects (production Firebase ids Autodevelop must never write)
• preview.firebaseProject and preview.baseBranch (usually master)
• board.provider — github is the shipped board

Optional:

• docs.home / docs.changelog — links used in release mail
• firebase.staging / firebase.production — environment checks
• productName / stakeholderLabel — labels in generated copy
• singleBranch — true when the repo has one shared branch
• branches.staging / branches.production — git branch names (defaults master / release)

Mail today is Firestore Trigger Email on the consumer Firebase project. Do not put passwords in config.json.

people.json

• developers — assignees (GitHub login and email)
• stakeholders — reviewers who receive ticket mail
• alwaysNotify or alwaysNotifyEmails — always on release digest and production-approval mail

In chat you can add people who are not in the file: type @login and/or an email. The agent updates people.json after you confirm, then invites when you say invite.

Policies

Copy the kit example policy files into .policies/, dropping the .example suffix. A missing folder uses the kit defaults. Typical files:

File	What it sets
branch-policy.yaml	Staging and production branch names and ask flags
email-policy.yaml	Confirm required; allowlist lives in config.json
security-policy.yaml	No env or admin JSON in git
ticket-policy.yaml	Ticket required for product work
commit-policy.yaml	Subject style; no force-push
environments-policy.yaml	staging, production, preview

When askStaging or askProduction is true, the matching phrase is required before a push to that branch: YES PUSH TO MASTER or YES PUSH TO RELEASE.

pnpm autodevelop login installs the organization’s versioned policy pack into the current repository. When the hosted pack version differs from the local version, the agent asks in chat before installing again.
