Settings Reference

Settings in Abolitus are split between creative behavior, device-local runtime setup, and account-level security.

If you are unsure why something changed on one device but not another, this page is usually where the explanation starts.

Basic vs Expert Mode

Basic mode

Shows the most important surfaces for getting started quickly:

• Provider and model.
• Generation.
• Appearance.

Expert mode

Opens the full set of tabs for more deliberate control.

This includes:

• Provider.
• Generation.
• Personas.
• Commands.
• Output Rules.
• Appearance.

Which Settings Sync and Which Do Not

This is the most important mental model in the whole settings system.

Usually sync across devices

• Prompt-pruning choices.
• Default persona.
• Advanced generation settings.
• Active sampler and saved sampler presets.
• Expert mode preference.
• RAG enablement.
• Summary mode.
• Jailbreak prompt and wrapper presets.
• Author's Note.
• Macro user name.
• Quick replies.
• Custom slash commands.
• Group-chat defaults.

Stay on the current device

• Theme.
• Wallpaper and uploaded appearance assets.
• Account-security unlock state.
• Diagnostics toggles.
• Provider credentials and local endpoints.
• Fallback ordering for local provider definitions.
• TTS provider credentials.
• Onboarding-complete state.

Provider Tab

This is where you decide which model route the current device can use.

It covers:

• Provider definitions.
• API keys.
• Base URLs.
• Selected models.
• Route metadata and capabilities.

Remember: provider entries are local. Another device can sync your creative preferences and still lack your provider route.

Generation Tab

This is where the model's behavior is tuned.

It can include:

• Sampler settings.
• Prompt wrappers.
• Reasoning effort.
• Instruction mode.
• Logit bias.
• Request overrides.
• RAG toggle.
• Summary mode.
• Author's Note.

Use this tab when the model is technically working but behaving badly.

Personas Tab

This is where you create and maintain reusable user identities.

Use it when:

• The model forgets who you are.
• Different characters need different versions of you.
• You want to switch role identity without editing every scene manually.

Commands Tab

This contains:

• Custom slash commands.
• Quick replies.

Use it to speed up repeated actions and group-scene control.

Output Rules Tab

Output Rules are regex-based post-processing rules for model output.

They can be used in two main ways:

• Replace mode: rewrite matching output before render.
• Style mode: visually style matched output without rewriting the underlying text.

Supported scopes include:

• Global.
• Character-specific.
• Session-specific.

Output Rules run in top-to-bottom order, so order matters.

Use this when you want to normalize formatting, mute certain patterns visually, or create a cleaner on-screen reading style.

Appearance Tab

This contains the local look-and-feel controls for the current device.

Most importantly:

• Wallpaper mode.
• Uploaded wallpaper.
• Theme presentation.

These settings are local by design.
