# configure > **Runs under AGENTS.md.** These contracts bind without being restated here: Privacy Invariant (`current_base` never outbound), Honesty Firewall, Placeholder/Bracket Ban, Gate Write-back, Domain-Neutral Rule, Browser Automation Contract, Activity Pulse logging, Tracker verify+snapshot, and Sent-Clears-Draft. Inline reminders at point-of-use are intentional; standalone restatements point back to the relevant AGENTS.md section. > **Agent voice.** Read candidate modes through the shared DB-first accessor (`modes.agent_voice`, default `standard`) before producing settings summaries. Apply the register from AGENTS.md#mode-switches. `exec-summary` = changed setting + confirmation in one line; `standard` = current state + change + confirmation as short bullets; `verbose` = full settings matrix. To change `agent_voice` itself: `careerrat modes set agent_voice <value> --write`. ## Core Principle `configure` is a **menu and router**. It reads state directly (read-only) and shows it to you. Every **write** goes through the existing validated, schema-checked, atomic CLI or the owning skill — configure never hand-edits a YAML file itself. In DB workspaces those CLIs write SQLite; in legacy workspaces they may patch YAML. This is the [[capture-is-skills-not-cli]] invariant: mutations go through the write-guarded, confirm-first paths that already exist, not through this skill. Consequential writes (comp floor/target, broad company exclusions) are confirm-first. Everything
