SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the frustration of unexpected Kollab behavior, plugin loading failures, and configuration changes that don't take effect, all caused by invalid syntax, missing required settings, or conflicting configuration values across local and global config layers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full Config Validation: Checks JSON syntax, required top-level sections, valid value ranges for LLM and terminal settings, and plugin configuration structure.
  • Conflict Detection: Identifies duplicate settings with different values across config files, plus incompatible plugin combinations that cause runtime issues.
  • Use Case: For example, if your Kollab agent can't connect to your LLM provider, use this Skill to quickly spot missing or incorrect api_url and api_token settings, or conflicting values between your local and global config files.

Quick Start

Use the validate-config skill to audit your Kollab configuration files, identify any syntax errors, missing required settings, or conflicting values, and get a clear, prioritized report of issues to resolve.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate Kollab configuration files to prevent plugin loading failures?

To validate Kollab configuration files, check JSON syntax, verify required top-level sections, ensure valid value ranges for LLM settings, and confirm plugin configuration structure to prevent unexpected application behavior and plugin loading failures.

Why does my Kollab agent fail to connect to my LLM provider?

Your Kollab agent may fail to connect to your LLM provider due to missing or incorrect api_url and api_token settings, or conflicting configuration values between your local and global config files across cross-config layers.

How can I detect conflicting configuration values across local and global Kollab config layers?

Detect conflicting configuration values across local and global Kollab config layers by identifying duplicate settings with different values and spotting incompatible plugin combinations that cause runtime issues using native config manager modules.

What is the best way to diagnose unapplied configuration changes in Kollab?

The best way to diagnose unapplied configuration changes in Kollab is to perform a merged effective configuration analysis to identify invalid syntax, missing required settings, or conflicting values across config layers.

Can I use config validation to check required settings when migrating between Kollab versions?

Yes, you can use config validation to check required settings when migrating between Kollab versions by verifying required top-level sections, validating terminal setting ranges, and auditing plugin configuration structure to prevent runtime errors.

What causes incompatible plugin combinations and runtime issues in Kollab?

Incompatible plugin combinations and runtime issues in Kollab are caused by invalid configuration syntax, missing required settings, or conflicting configuration values across local and global config layers that fail native validation checks.
