# Edit instances/my-new-project/config.json

Creating a New Instance

1. Copy template:

   cp -r instances/_template instances/my-project
   

2. Edit config.json:

   • Change name, slug
   • Set brand voice
   • Enable/disable skills
   • Configure workflows

3. Use the instance: The system will automatically detect which instance to use based on your project.

Instance Selection

The system selects an instance based on:

1. Project directory name - Matches instance slug
2. Manual override - Specify in configuration
3. Default instance - Falls back to frankx

Brand Voice Configuration

Setting	Description	Options
tone	Overall voice	professional, casual, authoritative, friendly, provocative
personality	Traits	innovative, helpful, reliable, cutting-edge, etc.
keywords	Approved terms	["AI", "automation", "workflow"]
avoidKeywords	Terms to avoid	["spammy", "clickbait"]

For AI Agents

When working with instances:

1. Check the instance - Know which project you're working on
2. Respect brand voice - Match the configured tone
3. Use enabled skills - Don't use disabled skills
4. Follow evaluation rules - Strict mode = higher standards
5. Know the keywords - Use approved terminology

Loading Instances

import { getInstanceConfig, listInstances } from './instances/_template/config.ts';

// List all instances
const instances = await listInstances();
// Returns: [{ name, description, path }]

// Load specific instance
const config = await getInstanceConfig('frankx');
// Returns: ProjectConfig object
