# Configuration Reference

> Understand conductor.yaml, project definitions, runtime defaults, and per-project agent configuration.

Conductor keeps the control plane in files. That makes the runtime inspectable, portable, and versionable with the repo.

## What lives in `conductor.yaml`

The generated config typically holds:

* `port`
* `boards`
* `columnAliases`
* `preferences`
* `projects`
* `defaults`
* `plugins`

## Project-level control

Each project can define its own repo path, default agent, runtime, dev server, and MCP tools.

```yaml theme={null}
projects:
  my-app:
    path: ~/projects/my-app
    repo: your-org/my-app
    agent: claude-code
    devServer:
      command: pnpm dev
      cwd: ~/projects/my-app
    workspace: worktree
    runtime: tmux
    scm: github
```

## Practical guidance

* Keep one project entry per repository root.
* Use project-specific MCP servers when tooling differs between repos.
* Treat `conductor.yaml` as operational source of truth, not generated trash.
* Restart the running dashboard after major config changes if the UI looks stale.
