Configure Your Radar
Customize which sources to scan and how to score relevance.
Setting Domains
Your domains determine what's relevant to you:
code
configure_sources(domains: ["TypeScript", "React", "AI", "distributed systems"])
Domains can be:
- •Programming languages (TypeScript, Python, Rust)
- •Frameworks (React, Next.js, FastAPI)
- •Technologies (WebAssembly, GraphQL, Kubernetes)
- •Concepts (distributed systems, machine learning, security)
Source Configuration
Enable/disable sources:
code
configure_sources(hackernews_enabled: true, github_enabled: true)
Adjust weights (0-2, higher = more influence):
code
configure_sources( hackernews_weight: 1.5, # Prioritize HN github_weight: 0.5 # De-prioritize GitHub )
GitHub language filter:
code
configure_sources(github_languages: ["TypeScript", "Rust", "Python"])
Profile Integration
If shared-memory is installed, pattern-radar reads your profile automatically:
- •Languages from
technical.languages - •Frameworks from
technical.frameworks - •Domains from
knowledge.domains - •Interests from
knowledge.interests
You can override or supplement with configure_sources.
GitHub Token
For higher rate limits (5,000/hour vs 60/hour):
- •Create token at https://github.com/settings/tokens
- •Run pattern-radar setup:
node run.js - •Enter token when prompted
Token is saved to ~/.config/brain-jar/pattern-radar.json
Current Config
View current configuration by calling any radar tool—it shows your active settings.
Reset to Defaults
Delete the config file:
bash
rm ~/.config/brain-jar/pattern-radar.json
