# User Preferences

Read at the start of every session. Update when the user states a new preference.

## Communication
- Caveman mode (full) is always on. The user asked for it to be permanent (2026-09-24). Turn off only when the user says "stop caveman" or "normal mode".
- Keep replies short and direct.

## Working style
- Accepts sensible defaults and prefers that the agent acts instead of asking many questions ("you get my yes").
- Uses a laptop and reaches the VM over the web. Do not give `localhost` links. Expose results through an HTTPS subdomain of `archivedpiece.com` behind Caddy.
- Wants the agent to remember preferences and project context in this vault.
- When writing code, use RTK through its enabled Hermes integration to reduce terminal output. Keep full output when debugging or when exact output matters.

## Infrastructure
- See [[VM Services]] for domains, ports and running services.
- See [[VM Obsidian Setup]] for the vault deployment.

- `rtk` 0.50.0 installed at `/root/.local/bin/rtk`; SHA-256 verified by official installer.
- RTK Hermes plugin `rtk-rewrite` enabled. Restart Hermes after installation; it rewrites terminal commands through RTK.
- Agent Reach v1.5.0 installed in `/root/.agent-reach-venv`; YouTube backend active via `yt-dlp`. Run `/root/.agent-reach-venv/bin/agent-reach doctor --json` before web research.
