User preferences
Understand where global preferences are stored and why saved Agent threads use their own instructions instead.
Global user preferences live in /preferences.md in your Fluso workspace. Ordinary chats use that file as background for choices such as response style, preferred sources, or a standing sign-off.
"Remember that I prefer concise status updates."
After a turn ends, Fluso may save a preference that you stated clearly. A passing remark may not change future behavior.
Saved Agents are separate
Saved Agent threads do not load global preferences as instructions. This keeps an Agent's standing rules from changing because an unrelated chat wrote a different preference.
Use these scopes instead:
| Need | Put it here |
|---|---|
| A rule for every new thread of one Agent | Agent Instructions |
| A correction for the current request only | Your message in that thread |
| A preference for ordinary chats | /preferences.md |
| Reference material for an Agent | Agent knowledge files |
A direct request in an Agent thread can change the current response, but it does not rewrite the saved Agent definition. Edit the Agent and start a new thread when the change should persist for that Agent.
Read or edit the file
Ask Fluso what it remembers about your preferences, or open /preferences.md through the workspace file tools. Do not store passwords, tokens, or other secrets there.
