Configuration

termyte init writes ~/.termyte/config.json. Environment variables can override runtime values.

Storage

Variable	Default	Purpose
`TERMYTE_HOME`	`~/.termyte`	Config and default database directory
`TERMYTE_DB`	`~/.termyte/termyte.db`	SQLite database path

OPENAI_BASE_URL and OPENAI_API_KEY are fallback names. API mode requires TERMYTE_LLM_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY during setup.

Variable	Default	Purpose
`TERMYTE_EMBED_MODEL_LOCAL`	`nomic-embed`	Use `nomic-embed` or `bge-small`

Unknown values fall back to nomic-embed. Model files may be downloaded on first use.

Variable	Purpose
`TERMYTE_AUTO_WORKER`	Set to `0` to prevent hooks from starting the detached worker
`TERMYTE_HOOK_PATH`	Override the installed `termyte-hook` entry path
`TERMYTE_WORKER_PATH`	Override the background worker entry path
`OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR`	Override the OpenCode configuration directory

Environment variables must be visible to the coding-agent process. Setting one in another terminal does not change an agent that is already running.
