What Settings is today

The current Settings page in ClawKitchen is intentionally narrow. It is not a giant everything-admin panel. Right now it focuses on a small number of behaviors that affect scaffold and automation decisions. That is a good thing: the page is trying to control the important defaults without pretending the entire runtime should be configured only through Kitchen.

​
Cron installation mode

The most important current setting is cron installation mode. This controls what ClawKitchen should do when a recipe declares cron jobs during scaffold. Typical modes are:
  • install automatically
  • prompt
  • do not install automatically

​
Why this setting matters

Cron jobs can trigger recurring work, reminders, notifications, and other automated behavior. That means this is not a cosmetic preference. It affects operational safety and how much automation gets turned on by default.

​
Recommendation

If you are unsure, use the more conservative option and review jobs before enabling broad automation. That lines up with the rest of the ClawKitchen philosophy: visible, understandable, file-backed, and deliberate.

​
What not to expect

At the moment, Settings is not meant to be a complete replacement for every OpenClaw config surface. Think of it as a focused operator settings page, not a full-control cockpit.
