Chat Settings

Chat Settings showing the built-in model, Oracle presets, planning prompt, edit mode, and temperature

Configure the built-in chat model, the planning prompt, and named Oracle model presets exposed to MCP clients. Built-in chat settings are separate from Agent Mode configuration.

Open Settings → Prompting → Chat Settings. These controls configure RepoPrompt's built-in chat and MCP Oracle choices. Agent Mode uses its own configuration.

Recommendations​

Chat Settings scope explanation and Check Recommendations button

Check Recommendations opens the recommendations flow for this window. Review the proposed setup there. The model and enabled options pictured on this page are examples, not recommendations for every task.

Built-in Chat Model​

Built-in Chat Model picker

Choose the model used by built-in chat. Available choices depend on configured providers and models. This picker does not replace your Agent Models role assignments.

Oracle Model Presets​

Oracle Model Presets enable switch, availability count, and Manage Presets button

Use Oracle Model Presets for MCP exposes named presets to MCP clients. Manage Presets opens Model Presets. This is the same enable setting shown on the MCP Server page, so it does not need to be configured twice.

If enabled with no presets defined, a fallback model picker is shown. If disabled, MCP uses the current Oracle model. The availability count is your current configuration, not a fixed preset limit.

Chat Planning Prompt​

Chat Planning Prompt editor with Save and Reset to Default

Edit the instructions used by built-in chat's Plan mode, then choose Save to persist your draft. Reset to Default restores the shipped planning prompt and refreshes the editor. Copy any custom text you want to keep before resetting.

The text in the screenshot is the prompt being configured, not an instruction for someone reading this documentation.

Advanced Chat Controls: edit mode​

Advanced Chat Controls with Diff, Whole, and None edit format choices

Expand Advanced Chat Controls to choose the response format used outside Pro Mode:

FormatBehavior
DiffRequests only the changes needed.
WholeRequests complete replacement file contents.
NoneLeaves chat unconstrained but does not support direct file editing through this format.

The picker is disabled for a model that cannot use diff editing; selecting such a model switches the edit format to Whole.

Model Temperature​

Model Temperature slider and current numeric value

The slider ranges from 0 to 1 in steps of 0.1. Lower values request more focused output; higher values request more variation. The actual effect depends on the selected model and provider's support for temperature.
