<objective> Manage `.planning/config.json` (template in `cadence-core/templates/config.json`). One skill for the whole config; its substantive part is review-provider model assignment, which needs live detection (call the provider models endpoint, classify, assign per tier).

Routing:

  • **--review [redetect]**: run the cross-model review-provider setup - detect

each provider's accessible models and assign them to the flagship/balanced/ cheap tiers.

  • **--surfaces**: re-open the one-time risk-surface question - the answered set

beside what the structure evidences now, re-answerable or declinable.

  • **--roles [--global]**: the thirteen questions that say what each of the six

roles costs - a model and a start rung per role, then the risk floor. Writes repo-layer diffs by default; `--global` re-enters the full thirteen against the user-global layer.

  • **`<key>=<value>` ...**: set config keys directly (validated against the config schema).
  • **default** (no args): walk every knob as a selectable list (batched pages),

each preselected to its current value. </objective>

<execution_context> @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/cadence-core/workflows/config.md </execution_context>

<process> Parse `$ARGUMENTS`, then execute the matching branch of the config workflow end-to-end. Never write an invalid config; never block the spine on a network call (detection degrades to claude-subagent). </process>

Appearance is cheap. Verification is the work. Cadence is for developers using Claude Code on software they will still own after the session ends. Claude can write a convincing plan, produce working code, and tell you the job is finished.
