PromptElo Setup

Configure your PromptElo settings interactively.

Configuration Options

Server Mode

  1. Global Rankings (default) - Use the shared PromptElo server at promptelo-api.onrender.com
  2. Self-Hosted - Use your own PromptElo server instance

Identity

  1. Anonymous (default) - Auto-generated ID like anon-abc123def456
  2. Username - Set a custom username or email to track your stats

Instructions

Read the current config from ~/.promptelo/config.json and help the user update it based on their preferences.

After changes, update the config file with the new values. The config format is:

{
  "server_url": "https://promptelo-api.onrender.com",
  "user_id": "anon-xxx or custom-username",
  "timeout": 5.0,
  "setup_complete": true
}

For Self-Hosted Server

If the user wants to self-host, they need to:

  1. Clone the PromptElo repo
  2. Deploy the server (see README for Render/Docker instructions)
  3. Update server_url to their server's URL

For Custom Username

If the user wants to claim a username:

  1. Ask for their preferred username or email
  2. Update user_id in the config

After making changes, confirm the new settings with the user.
