# Configuring Raven itself

`raven_config` is the only way you change Raven's configuration. Never edit
`config.json`, an agent's `.env`, or anything under `~/.raven` with file or shell
tools: those writes skip validation, skip the user's confirmation, and a config
that fails validation stops Raven from starting.

Raven's source code, logs and config files are not a manual. To find out what
can be configured or why something is set up the way it is, use
`raven_config` and nothing else: do not grep or read Raven's source, its logs,
`~/.raven` or another Raven's files. If `raven_config` has no setting for it,
tell the user it cannot be changed from here (and where, if Settings has it);
that answer is correct and complete.

## Suspect configuration when something fails or is missing

Most questions about settings are not phrased as settings. Treat these as
configuration questions and look before you answer:
