name: maestro-settings description: View and change Maestro toggles (terse, frontier, context-bar, discipline, verify) via the settings CLI license: MIT

View or change Maestro settings for this project. The settings CLI manages five primary toggles: terse, frontier, context-bar, discipline (the optional enforcement-hook pack; off is the default), and verify (the optional S7.3 verify-gate Stop hook; off is the default).

When the user invokes this skill, run the settings CLI from the repo root. Do not edit settings files by hand.

Command launcher

Use node settings/cli.cjs when Maestro is installed in the project root. If that file is not present and this skill is loaded from the Maestro Codex plugin, locate the plugin root by walking up from this SKILL.md until .codex-plugin/plugin.json is present, then run:

node "<maestro-plugin-root>/settings/cli.cjs" ...

Discover available commands

node settings/cli.cjs --help

If settings/cli.cjs is not present, use the plugin-root launcher above.

Common operations

List current settings:

node settings/cli.cjs status

Set a toggle (the CLI takes a set subcommand):

node settings/cli.cjs set terse <off|lite|full|ultra>
node settings/cli.cjs set frontier <off|single:<model>|fusion:<preset>>
node settings/cli.cjs set context-bar <on|off>
node settings/cli.cjs set discipline <on|off>
node settings/cli.cjs set verify <off|warn|block>

If a subcommand name or argument differs from the above, follow the usage printed by --help — do not guess flags.

Notes

• Changes persist in Maestro's settings store and apply to subsequent agent turns in this project.
• Requires node on PATH. A project-local Maestro install is optional when the skill is loaded from the Maestro Codex plugin.
