# Settings and Directives

> Configure 2bd behavior and customize your experience

After [installation](/configuration/installation), configure your vault and profile to personalize 2bd.

## Vault path

The engine stores your vault path in `.claude/config.md` (git-ignored):

```markdown theme={null}
vault_path: /Users/you/OneDrive/2bd-vault
```

To change your vault location, update your profile:

```bash theme={null}
/ada profile
```

## User profile

The initialization wizard creates directives in your vault:

| File       | Purpose                                                      |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `human.md` | Your name, role, goals, growth edge                          |
| `ada.md`   | Ada's personality, coaching style, communication preferences |

### Editing your profile

Update your profile anytime by asking Ada:

```bash theme={null}
/ada profile
```

Or just say "Ada, let's update my profile."

Or edit directives directly in your vault at `00_Brain/Systemic/Directives/`.

### Profile fields

**human.md**:

* `preferred_name` - How Ada addresses you
* `role` - Your job title or primary role
* `leadership_identity` - How you see yourself as a leader
* `growth_edge` - What you are working to improve
* `patterns_to_watch` - Habits or tendencies to flag

**ada.md**:

* `character` - Who Ada is for you (work wife, sparring partner, mentor, etc.)
* `ego` - How much personality Ada shows
* `challenge` - How much Ada pushes back
* `celebration` - How Ada acknowledges wins
* `formality` - Casual to formal communication style
* `directness` - How blunt feedback should be
* `humor` - Dry, playful, minimal, or none

## Template customization

Templates live in your vault at `00_Brain/Systemic/Templates/`. After init, customize them freely.

See [Templates](/reference/templates) for:

* Template locations and structure
* Standard sections and their purpose
* How rituals interact with templates

## Coaching prompts

Coaching prompts in `00_Brain/Systemic/Coaching/` guide ritual interactions:

| File            | Used by                                 |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `planning.md`   | Planning rituals - intention setting    |
| `review.md`     | Reflection rituals - reflection prompts |
| `leadership.md` | Leadership coaching integration         |

Edit these to customize how Claude coaches you through rituals.
