config — owner-wide defaults (default relay)

SkillAI & models

Show or set owner-wide retalk defaults in ~/.retalk/config.json (machine-wide, not per-session) — mainly the default relay used as the last fallback. Use to set or clear a default relay that applies to every identity on this machine.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the config — owner-wide defaults (default relay) skill

The instructions your AI receives, as published by xhluca/agent-talk in skills/config/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

retalk config                                    # show ~/.retalk/config.json
retalk config --relay https://relay.example.com  # set the default relay
retalk config --relay ""                         # clear the default relay

Owner-wide (machine-wide), not per-session — so no --dir. The default relay is the last fallback: a --relay flag, RETALK_RELAY, and the relay saved in an identity at init all override it. retalk ships a built-in default of https://relay.retalk.dev, so a fresh setup can talk without configuring a relay. RETALK_HOME relocates the file.

Per-session identities still set their own relay at init; use this only to change the machine-wide fallback shared by all identities.

Next

  • init — create an identity using the default.
  • relay — host your own.
  • send — start messaging.
