Ensure configuration parameters are properly structured, accurately documented, and clearly indicate their scope and purpose. Configuration hierarchies should be explicit (global, assistant-level, thread-level), parameter categories should be well-defined (init vs runtime), and documented values must match actual system behavior. Key practices: - Categorize parameters by their lifecycle and mutability (e.g., `init` for initialization-time settings, `runtime` for dynamic updates) - Document configuration scope clearly (global defaults, assistant-level overrides, thread-specific settings) - Verify documented specifications match actual behavior and update when changes occur - Provide clear examples and visual aids for complex configuration hierarchies Example structure: ```json { "parameters": { "init": { "model_path": "/path/to/model", "max_memory": "8GB" }, "runtime": { "temperature": 0.7, "max_tokens": 2048 } } } ``` This prevents user confusion and ensures configurations work as documented across different scopes and contexts.
