 Provider names are the keys under `providers`. At startup, agentu selects the
 first provider by name. Use `/model provider <name>` to switch providers for the
 current session.

+- `id`: model name sent to the provider.
+- `thinking`: optional default thinking level for that model.
+- `context`: optional context-window token count used for auto-compaction.

+If `model` is omitted, agentu uses the first `models` entry. The `agent` block
+is optional: `working_dir`, `tool_timeout`, `system_prompt`, and
+`max_context_tokens` all have defaults. `max_context_tokens` overrides the
+selected model's `context` when set.
+
+Supported thinking values are:
 
 ```text
 none, middle, high, xhigh, max
 ```
 
 When configured or changed with `/model thinking ...`, the value is sent as a
-top-level OpenAI-compatible request field. `thinking_param` controls that field
-name and defaults to `thinking`.
