View and update ACE project configuration dynamically at runtime

ACE Configuration Management (Project-Level)

Manage ACE configuration for THIS PROJECT ONLY. Adjust thresholds, enable token budget, and configure runtime behavior dynamically.

🚨 Important: Project-Level Scope

All /ace-tune commands affect THIS PROJECT ONLY.

  • Changes apply to the current project
  • Other projects in your organization are NOT affected
  • Organization-wide settings are managed via web dashboard

Hierarchical Configuration:

  • Server defaults (global baseline)
  • Organization-level (per org) ← Set via web dashboard
  • Project-level (per project) ← /ace-tune scope

Priority: Project > Org > Server (project overrides org overrides server)

For organization-wide configuration, use the web dashboard instead.

What This Does

Allows you to fetch and update ACE project configuration in real-time:

  • View current effective configuration (with source hierarchy)
  • Enable/disable token budget enforcement for this project
  • Adjust semantic search sensitivity
  • Configure deduplication thresholds
  • Control automatic learning features
  • Reset project config to org/server defaults

All changes persist on the server for this specific project.

Instructions for Claude

When the user runs /ace-tune [action] [params], execute the tune script:

1. View Current Configuration

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

# Get plugin root directory
PLUGIN_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/.." && pwd)}"

# Execute tune script - shows current config
exec "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ace-tune.sh" show

Display format:

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Returns current effective settings including:

  • constitution_threshold - Semantic search threshold (default: 0.7)
  • dedup_similarity_threshold - Duplicate detection threshold (default: 0.85)
  • pruning_threshold - Low-quality pattern removal (default: 0.3)
  • token_budget_enforcement - Auto-pruning enabled/disabled (default: false)
  • max_playbook_tokens - Token limit before pruning (default: null)
  • max_batch_size - Max patterns per batch request (default: 50)

When user runs /ace-tune without arguments, use AskUserQuestion tool for interactive configuration:

# Step 1: Show current config first
ce-ace tune show

# Step 2: Ask what they want to change
AskUserQuestion({
  "questions": [{
    "question": "What would you like to configure?",
    "header": "ACE Setting",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {
        "label": "Search Threshold",
        "description": "Adjust similarity threshold for pattern retrieval (0.0-1.0)"
      },
      {
        "label": "Search Top K",
        "description": "Maximum patterns returned per search (1-100)"
      },
      {
        "label": "Token Budget",
        "description": "Enable automatic playbook pruning at token limit"
      },
      {
        "label": "View Only",
        "description": "Just show current configuration"
      }
    ]
  }]
})

# Step 3: Based on selection, ask for value
# Example: If "Search Threshold" selected
AskUserQuestion({
  "questions": [{
    "question": "What threshold value? (0.0-1.0)",
    "header": "Threshold",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {"label": "0.35", "description": "Broad matches (more results)"},
      {"label": "0.45", "description": "Balanced (recommended)"},
      {"label": "0.60", "description": "Strict matches (fewer results)"},
      {"label": "0.75", "description": "Very strict (only close matches)"}
    ]
  }]
})

# Step 4: Apply with CLI
ce-ace tune --constitution-threshold 0.45

3. Non-Interactive Mode (Direct)

# Single setting
ce-ace tune --constitution-threshold 0.6

# Multiple settings
ce-ace tune \
  --constitution-threshold 0.5 \
  --search-top-k 15 \
  --dedup-enabled true

What this does:

  • Enables automatic playbook pruning FOR THIS PROJECT
  • When playbook exceeds 50,000 tokens:
    • Server removes low-quality patterns (helpful-harmful < pruning_threshold)
    • Keeps high-quality patterns
    • Maintains playbook size within budget

3. Direct CLI Examples

Adjust Search Threshold:

# Lower threshold for broader matches
ce-ace tune --constitution-threshold 0.35

# Higher threshold for stricter matches
ce-ace tune --constitution-threshold 0.8

Effect on /ace-search:

  • Lower (0.3-0.5): Broader matches, more results
  • Medium (0.6-0.7): Balanced precision/recall
  • Higher (0.8-0.9): Stricter matches, fewer but more precise results

Adjust Multiple Settings:

# Configure search behavior
ce-ace tune \
  --constitution-threshold 0.5 \
  --search-top-k 15

# Configure deduplication
ce-ace tune --dedup-similarity-threshold 0.9

# Configure pruning
ce-ace tune --pruning-threshold 0.4

# Enable token budget
ce-ace tune --token-budget-enforcement true --max-playbook-tokens 50000

Reset to Defaults:

# Reset project to org/server defaults
ce-ace tune --reset

# Verify reset
ce-ace tune show

Common Use Cases

/ace-tune search-threshold 0.85

Use when: You want only highly relevant results for this project, willing to miss some edge cases.

/ace-tune search-threshold 0.4

Use when: You want comprehensive results for this project, okay with some less-relevant matches.

Enable Automatic Playbook Management

/ace-tune token-budget 50000

Use when: This project's playbook is growing large (10k+ patterns) and you want automatic quality-based pruning.

Aggressive Deduplication

/ace-tune dedup-threshold 0.75

Use when: This project is getting too many similar patterns and you want more aggressive merging.

Conservative Pruning

/ace-tune pruning-threshold 0.2

Use when: Token budget is enabled for this project but you want to keep more patterns (only remove clearly harmful ones).

Reset to Organization Defaults

/ace-tune reset

Use when: You want to remove project-specific customizations and inherit org/server defaults.

Example Workflows

User: "/ace-tune"
Claude: [Shows current config via ce-ace tune show]
Claude: [Uses AskUserQuestion with options: Search Threshold, Search Top K, Token Budget, View Only]
User: Selects "Search Threshold"
Claude: [Uses AskUserQuestion with threshold options: 0.35, 0.45, 0.60, 0.75]
User: Selects "0.45"
Claude: [Runs ce-ace tune --constitution-threshold 0.45]
Claude: "✅ Search threshold updated to 0.45 for this project"

Non-Interactive Mode (Fast Direct Changes)

✅ Configuration reset successfully

All project-level overrides removed.

Run 'ce-ace tune show' to see current effective config.

Important Notes

Project-Scoped Configuration

  • All /ace-tune changes affect THIS PROJECT ONLY
  • Changes persist on the server and sync across sessions
  • Other projects maintain their own independent configurations
  • Organization-level defaults can be set via web dashboard

Environment Context

The ce-ace CLI automatically reads context from:

  1. ACE_ORG_ID environment variable (passed by slash command)
  2. ACE_PROJECT_ID environment variable (passed by slash command)
  3. ~/.config/ace/config.json for API token

You don't need to manually specify these - the slash command handles it.

Multi-Tenant Safety

  • Each project maintains independent configuration
  • Configuration hierarchy: Project > Organization > Server
  • Project overrides take precedence over org defaults
  • Organization-wide settings require web dashboard access

Performance Notes

  • Configuration changes are immediate (no restart required)
  • Changes persist across sessions (stored on server)
  • Configuration is fetched fresh on each command (no stale cache issues)
  • Hierarchical config resolved server-side (project → org → server)
  • Average response time: 200-500ms for show, 300-600ms for updates

  • /ace-search - Semantic search (uses constitution_threshold)
  • /ace-status - View playbook statistics
  • /ace-patterns - View full playbook
  • /ace-top - Get highest-rated patterns
  • /ace-configure - Initial project setup

Web Dashboard

For organization-wide configuration management: https://ace-dashboard.code-engine.app/org/{org_id}/settings

Use the web dashboard to:

  • Set organization-wide defaults
  • Manage multiple projects
  • View organization-level analytics
  • Configure team permissions
