Delegate & Cartographer user guide

Behavior preferences

Configure how Delegate and Cartographer communicate and act, including work profiles, communication style, proactivity, action transparency, and custom preferences.

Configure how Delegate and Cartographer communicate and act. These preferences guide interaction style.

Some preferences may conflict with Delegate's or Cartographer's default behavior or safety guidelines. In those cases, built-in defaults take precedence.

Work profile​

A preset that adjusts all the preferences below at once — for example, an "Engineering" preset.

Behavior​

SettingWhat it controlsOptions

Additional notes​

Free-text instructions Delegate follows going forward, up to 2500 characters — for example, "Always use bullet points" or "Respond in Spanish." Quick-add suggestions are offered (use code blocks for commands, always use bullet points, keep it under 3 sentences, include code examples, explain tradeoffs).

Custom preferences​

Add your own name/value pairs beyond the built-in settings above — for example, Name: "Language", Value: "Always respond in Spanish".
