Configuration Steps

When applying this configuration:

1. **Model Selection**

- Set primary model to `ollama_chat/gpt-oss:20b`

- Set weak model to `ollama_chat/gpt-oss:20b` (used for less critical tasks)

- Ensure Ollama is running locally with the gpt-oss:20b model available

2. **Git Commit Behavior**

- Disable automatic commits (`auto-commits: false`, `no-auto-commits: true`)

- Disable auto-confirmation prompts (`yes-always: false`)

- This gives full control over when changes are committed

3. **Color Customization**

- User input: `#98BB6C` (soft green)

- Tool errors: `#C34043` (red)

- Tool warnings: `#DCA561` (orange/gold)

- Assistant output: `#7E9CD8` (blue/purple)

4. **Display Settings**

- Enable dark mode for comfortable terminal usage

- Enable pretty printing for better readability
