Preferences
Tune local Proliferate behavior for your own workflow.
Preferences are personal settings for how Proliferate feels day-to-day. They live under Settings → User, in the General and Appearance sections, plus Pruning for local worktree cleanup.
General
| Preference | What it does |
|---|---|
| Default open in | Which app the workspace’s Open in button launches (your editor, Finder, or Terminal). |
| Git branch prefix | Prefix applied to auto-generated branch names: none, proliferate/..., or your GitHub username. |
| New workspace | What ⌘N creates by default: a new worktree, or the repo opened locally. |
| Turn long pastes into attachments | Converts large pasted text into a file attachment in the composer instead of an inline block. |
| Turn end sound | Plays a sound when an agent finishes its turn. |
| Allow coding agents to spin up subagents | Applies to new sessions only; existing sessions keep the delegation policy they started with. |
| Allow cowork agents to create coding workspaces | Applies to new cowork sessions only, same rule as above. |
Appearance
| Preference | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mode | Light, dark, or follow the system setting. |
| Window zoom | Zooms the entire window, like browser zoom. Independent of the font size settings below. |
| UI font size | Scales app and chat text. |
| Code font size | Scales editors, diffs, and code blocks. |
| Transparent chrome | Applies a glass treatment to workspace headers and tab bars. |
Pruning
Review how much disk space local worktrees are using and prune the ones you no longer need.
Organization-wide behavior, including which authentication routes members may newly configure, is an admin setting and is covered in Agent policy.
