Migration update

qmims has been migrated from Amazon Q CLI to Kiro CLI. These docs reflect the current install, authentication, and command workflows.

Config Command

Manage qmims configuration settings

The config command lets you inspect and update qmims defaults, including generation mode, output filename, template preferences, and Kiro-related approval behavior.

Syntax

qmims config <action> [key] [value] [options]

Actions

Action	Description
list	List all configuration settings
get	Get a specific configuration value
set	Set a configuration value
delete	Delete a configuration value
setup	Run interactive configuration setup

Options

Option	Alias	Description
--verbose	-V	Show detailed output for debugging

Examples

List all configuration settings:

qmims config list

Get the default generation mode:

qmims config get defaults.mode

Set the default template:

qmims config set defaults.templateName detailed

Set the default output filename:

qmims config set defaults.outputFileName README.md

Enable config-driven auto approval for Kiro-backed runs:

qmims config set q.autoApproveEdits true

Delete a configuration value:

qmims config delete q.autoApproveEdits

Run interactive setup:

qmims config setup

Common configuration keys

Key	Description	Example
defaults.mode	Default generation mode	"auto"
defaults.outputFileName	Default output filename	"README.md"
defaults.templateName	Default template name for template mode	"detailed"
q.autoApproveEdits	Automatically approve Kiro tool permission requests when applicable	false

Example configuration

A typical qmims configuration looks like this:

{
  "user": {
    "name": "Your Name",
    "email": "your.email@example.com"
  },
  "defaults": {
    "mode": "auto",
    "outputFileName": "README.md",
    "templateName": "detailed"
  },
  "q": {
    "autoApproveEdits": false
  }
}

Git auto-commit note

qmims does not currently expose Git auto-commit as a supported configuration feature. If you want generated README changes committed, handle that explicitly in your own Git workflow or CI pipeline.

Kiro-related behavior

qmims now runs against Kiro CLI, so configuration is mainly about workflow defaults rather than AI provider selection. Configuration does not replace Kiro authentication; you still need a valid Kiro session or a KIRO_API_KEY in headless environments.

kiro-cli login
kiro-cli whoami
kiro-cli doctor

Tip

The config setup command is the easiest way to review and update your defaults interactively, especially if you are setting up qmims for the first time.
