Configuration Reference

Detailed reference for every configuration property in orchid.yml and agents.yaml — split by file with searchable indexes and deep-links.

Orchid's configuration splits into two files. Each has its own dedicated reference page with a top-of-page index and per-property anchors.


Infrastructure — orchid.yml

Runtime keys: LLM providers, auth, vector DB, storage, tracing, API behaviour. Every key maps to an environment variable via YAML_TO_ENV.

  • 40 properties documented
  • Top-of-page index with quick-links
  • Per-property anchors for deep-linking from the Atlas

Agents — agents.yaml

Agent behaviour: defaults, supervisor, agent definitions, tools, skills, guardrails, MCP gateway, events.

  • 600+ properties documented
  • Top-of-page index with quick-links
  • Per-property anchors for deep-linking from the Atlas
