Configuration

The M1 core needs almost no configuration.

Environment variables

Variable	Default	Description
IPMAN_STORE_ROOT	~/.ipman/store	Location of the central skill store

Files

File	Committed?	Written by
ip.yaml	yes	you (via ipman init / add / remove)
ip.lock	yes	ipman (add / sync / update)
.gitignore (managed block)	yes	ipman — ignores the managed symlinks only

Legacy: ~/.ipman/config.yaml

The pre-M1 config file (security modes, hub URL/mirrors, default agent) is still read by the dormant install/hub commands but has no effect on the core project commands. It will be revisited if those features are reactivated — see Dormant Features.
