# Configuration

Takopi reads configuration from `~/.takopi/takopi.toml`.

If you expect to edit config while Takopi is running, set:

    ```sh
    takopi config set watch_config true
    ```

=== "toml"

    ```toml
    watch_config = true
    ```

## Plugins

### `plugins.enabled`

    ```sh
    takopi config set plugins.enabled '["takopi-transport-slack", "takopi-engine-acme"]'

    ```toml
    [plugins]
    enabled = ["takopi-transport-slack", "takopi-engine-acme"]
    ```

- `enabled = []` (default) means “load all installed plugins”.
- If non-empty, only distributions with matching names are visible (case-insensitive).

### `plugins.<id>`

Plugin-specific configuration lives under `[plugins.<id>]` and is passed to command plugins as `ctx.plugin_config`.

## Engine-specific config tables

Engines use **top-level tables** keyed by engine id. Built-in engines are listed
here; plugin engines should document their own keys.
