PROMPTS_VERBOSITY

• major (default) - Only significant multi-step academic/development work

  • Example: "Implement authentication system", "Debug complex algorithm"
  • Best for: Academic research, project documentation

• all - Track every user request

  • Example: "What is X?", "Explain Y", "Fix typo in file.txt"
  • Best for: Complete session logs, detailed auditing

• minimal - Only explicitly user-requested tracking
