Overview

Most of koda is on by default because it costs nothing to have available. The things that are off need something from you — a network request, a browser, a second program — so they are opt-in and say so.

On by default

Capability	Setting	What it gives you
Code graph	codegraph = true	Where a symbol is defined and who uses it, without grepping.
Sessions	sessions = true	/resume, /search and /fork across every past conversation.
Memory	memory = true	Durable facts and command outcomes carried to the next session.
Subagents	subagents = true	A wide search costs a paragraph instead of thirty files.
Skills	—	Project conventions loaded only when they are relevant.
Documents	build feature	PDF, Word, Excel and CSV read with @.
Debugger	—	Breakpoints, stepping and variables over the Debug Adapter Protocol.

Off until you turn it on

Browser	browser = true	Drives a real Chromium; much slower than a fetch.
Watch mode	watch = true	Acts on comment triggers without being asked.
Web control center	web_ui = true	Serves a local page on 127.0.0.1.
