# LLM knobs (kitchen / platform agents)

When calling rabbithole (`http://127.0.0.1:11436/api/chat`) or other Ollama:

```json
"options": {
  "temperature": 1.05,
  "top_p": 0.95,
  "num_predict": 900
}
```

| Mode | temperature | Notes |
|------|-------------|--------|
| Default talkative | **1.05** | Flamewar, lore, shop chatter |
| Extra vivid | 1.15 | Cap — above this gets incoherent on small models |
| Patch/smoke code | 0.3–0.5 | D1–D3 code edits only |

System prompt always: read `EXPERTISE.md` + own PERSONAS row; be **sehr gesprächig**; civil; no secrets.
