Tips for Power Users

• Default Model: The CLI defaults to gemma-3-27b-it for heavy logic. Switch to gemma-3n-e2b-it if you need ultra-low latency for simple tasks.
• Tool Permission: Every tool call requires a Allow/Deny confirmation. Use [Esc] to cancel a running tool if it takes too long.
• Custom Shortcuts: Your custom commands are saved in config/custom_commands.json and persist across restarts.
