+## Configuration
+
+User overrides can be set in `~/.kugetsu/config`. This file is sourced on each kugetsu command call, so changes take effect immediately without re-initialization.
+
+A default config file is created during `kugetsu init` with commented examples:
+
+```bash
+# User configuration overrides
+# Values set here take precedence over defaults
+# Changes take effect immediately (no re-init needed)
+
+# Max concurrent dev agents (default: 3)
+# MAX_CONCURRENT_AGENTS=5
+```
+
+### Available Config Options
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `MAX_CONCURRENT_AGENTS` | 3 | Maximum number of concurrent dev agents |
+
