Example


{
  "version": "0.1.12",
  "pack": "engineer",
  "installedAt": "2025-12-17T12:00:00.000Z",
  "adapters": [
    {
      "name": "gemini",
      "enabled": true,
      "outputDir": ".gemini",
      "configFile": "GEMINI.md"
    },
    {
      "name": "cursor",
      "enabled": true,
      "outputDir": ".cursor/rules",
      "configFile": "index.md"
    }
  ]
}

Modifying Configuration

It is recommended to use the CLI to modify configuration when possible, but you can manually edit config.json to:

Disable an adapter: Set "enabled": false
Change output directory: Modify "outputDir" (ensure you update your .gitignore)

After any manual changes, run:


dotpack build
