Configuration

The Contenox runtime is configured via .contenox/config.yaml.

When you run vibe init, a default configuration is generated. vibe looks for this directory in your current working directory, then walks up to the root, and finally checks your home directory (~/.contenox/).

Default config.yaml

version: 1

Supported Providers

Contenox uses a unified translation layer, meaning you can swap providers per-task in your chains without changing the prompt format or tool schemas.

1. ollama: Requires base_url (usually http://localhost:11434).
2. openai: Requires api_key (or uses OPENAI_API_KEY from environment).
3. vllm: Exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Requires base_url.
4. gemini: Requires api_key.
