It defines the person and their industry (see `reference/cos.config.example.md` for the full annotated template). Key fields: `industry`, `competitors`, `keywords`, `news_sources`, `vips`, `working_hours`/`timezone`, `priorities`, `ignore`, `connectors`, and `output`. - **No config yet?** Run once with sensible defaults, then tell the person exactly what to put in `cos.config.md` to sharpen the brief (especially industry + competitors + VIPs). Offer to write a starter config from their answers. - **Which tools?** Detect what's connected.
