Always explicitly configure important system components rather than relying on implicit defaults or environment variables. Document required configuration combinations and version requirements clearly to prevent subtle errors.

For example:

• When configuring storage backends like PostgreSQL, explicitly create and pass the configuration objects: ```python

  Explicit PostgreSQL configuration

  postgres_storage = LTMPostgresStorage( connection_string=”postgresql://username:password@hostname:5432/database” ) long_term_memory = LongTermMemory(storage=postgres_storage)

Configure both required components for automatic memory saving

crew = Crew( agents=[…], tasks=[…], memory=True, long_term_memory=long_term_memory, entity_memory=EntityMemory() ) ```

• For version requirements, specify exact minimum versions (e.g., Python >=3.10) rather than recommendations when functionality depends on it

• When adding configuration flags, use consistent, explicit naming that clearly communicates scope and function (like -kn for all knowledge and -akn for agent-specific knowledge)
