Configuration

Dynamo is configured via dynamo.yaml in your project root.

dynamo.yaml

yaml

project:
  name: "MyGame"
  github_repo: "myorg/mygame"
  base_ref: "main"

ai:
  provider: "anthropic"
  personality: "full"    # full | light | minimal

  shell:
    defaultTimeout: 120000
    maxTimeout: 600000
    maxOutput: 50000

engines:
  unity:
    project_path: "./MyUnityProject"

Only project.name is required. Everything else has sensible defaults.
