One pickable section. The variant ordering follows the sections! macro invocation.

With the clap feature on, this enum doubles as the zeroclaw onboard <section> clap subcommand — no separate mirror enum in the binary crate.

Variants

ModelProviders

Pick a model provider to configure (Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Ollama, custom OpenAI-compatible gateways, etc.). Multiple aliases per provider are supported — e.g. anthropic.production and anthropic.dev can coexist.

RiskProfiles

Named risk profiles binding allowlists, denylists, and approval thresholds. Agents reference one via agents.<alias>.risk_profile.

RuntimeProfiles

Named runtime tuning profiles (token limits, retry policy, timeouts). Agents reference one via agents.<alias>.runtime_profile.

Storage

SQLite is the safe default for single-node installs (file-based, zero-config, no extra services). Pick Postgres for shared or multi-instance deployments, Qdrant for vector search, Markdown or Lucid for human-readable files. Each backend supports multiple aliased instances; agents reference them via memory.storage_ref.

Memory

Persistent memory backend. SQLite is the default; pick none to disable long-term recall entirely.

Skills

Skills tool settings — where skill markdown lives on disk (defaults to the data dir), and how the skills loader handles community repositories. Add skill BUNDLES under skill-bundles below.

SkillBundles

Named bundles of skill files. Agents reference a bundle to load a set of capabilities at startup.

Mcp

Model Context Protocol settings. Toggle enabled and pick deferred or eager loading. Individual MCP servers live under mcp.servers[].

McpBundles

Named bundles of MCP servers. Agents reference a bundle to pull in a set of MCP tools as one unit.

KnowledgeBundles

Named bundles of knowledge sources (RAG indexes, doc folders). Agents reference a bundle to surface relevant snippets at inference time.

TtsProviders

Text-to-speech providers (OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Google, Edge, Piper). Configure one per voice / language; agents reference them by alias.

TranscriptionProviders

Speech-to-text providers (OpenAI Whisper, Groq, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, Google, local Whisper). Configure one per pipeline; agents reference them by alias.

Channels

Pick which chat platforms ZeroClaw should listen on. You can configure multiple — each channel gets its own alias.

Hardware

Optional: hardware peripherals (Arduino, STM32, GPIO, etc.). Skip if you don’t need them.

Agents

An agent binds a model provider, profiles, bundles, and channels into one dispatchable unit. Add one per persona; reuse the same alias across channels to share state.

PeerGroups

Named groups binding a channel, member agents, and external peers. Mutual opt-in: two agents become peers only when both appear in the same group’s agents list.

Cron

Scheduled tasks. Each cron entry binds a schedule expression to a prompt, channel, and target.

Tunnel

Optional: expose your gateway over the public internet via Cloudflare or ngrok. Pick none to keep it localhost-only.

Implementations

impl Section

pub const fn as_str(self) -> &'static str

Stable on-the-wire key. Also serves as the TOML top-level prefix (e.g. providers.models.<type>.<alias>), the /onboard/<key> URL segment, and the SectionInfo.key field returned by the gateway.

pub const fn shape(self) -> SectionShape

Editor shape — the dashboard and the CLI both dispatch off this so the same component lights up for the same section in both surfaces.

pub const fn help(self) -> &'static str

Per-section help blurb — single source of truth for the copy shown above the section’s picker / form on every surface (CLI ui.note(...), TUI heading, dashboard SectionInfo.help).

pub fn from_key(s: &str) -> Option<Section>

Parse a stable wire key, tolerating both the snake and kebab spellings of any section. The schema mixes the two: model_providers (snake) and peer-groups (kebab) are both valid wire forms produced elsewhere in the codebase. Callers (dashboard URL routing, gateway picker dispatch, CLI clap subcommands) can pass either form; from_key resolves to the same variant. Returns None for keys outside the known section table. Named from_key rather than from_str so clippy doesn’t flag it as confusable with std::str::FromStr (parse failure is None, not Err(_)).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Section

fn clone(&self) -> Section

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Section

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Section

fn deserialize<__D>( __deserializer: __D, ) -> Result<Section, <__D as Deserializer<'de>>::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Display for Section

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl FromArgMatches for Section

fn from_arg_matches(__clap_arg_matches: &ArgMatches) -> Result<Section, Error>

Instantiate Self from [ArgMatches], parsing the arguments as needed.

fn from_arg_matches_mut( __clap_arg_matches: &mut ArgMatches, ) -> Result<Section, Error>

Instantiate Self from [ArgMatches], parsing the arguments as needed.

fn update_from_arg_matches( &mut self, __clap_arg_matches: &ArgMatches, ) -> Result<(), Error>

Assign values from ArgMatches to self.

fn update_from_arg_matches_mut<'b>( &mut self, __clap_arg_matches: &mut ArgMatches, ) -> Result<(), Error>

Assign values from ArgMatches to self.

impl Hash for Section

fn hash<__H>(&self, state: &mut __H)

where __H: Hasher,

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl JsonSchema for Section

fn schema_name() -> Cow<'static, str>

The name of the generated JSON Schema.

fn schema_id() -> Cow<'static, str>

Returns a string that uniquely identifies the schema produced by this type.

fn json_schema(generator: &mut SchemaGenerator) -> Schema

Generates a JSON Schema for this type.

fn inline_schema() -> bool

Whether JSON Schemas generated for this type should be included directly in parent schemas, rather than being re-used where possible using the $ref keyword.

impl PartialEq for Section

fn eq(&self, other: &Section) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for Section

fn serialize<__S>( &self, __serializer: __S, ) -> Result<<__S as Serializer>::Ok, <__S as Serializer>::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Subcommand for Section

fn augment_subcommands<'b>(__clap_app: Command) -> Command

fn augment_subcommands_for_update<'b>(__clap_app: Command) -> Command

Append to [Command] so it can instantiate self via [FromArgMatches::update_from_arg_matches_mut]
