IDE settings
Indexing, appearance, CodeLens, and privacy toggles in the extension.
Worth setting early
| Setting | Why |
|---|---|
| Exclude globs | Slow indexing or wrong file counts usually start here |
| Max file size | Skip generated bundles and vendored code |
| Auto re-index | On by default; interval is adjustable |
| Privacy | Every optional network feature, individually |
VS Code setting
| Setting | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
prism.codeLens.enabled | false | Blast Radius, Ownership and Map lenses above the first line |
Everything else lives in Prism's Settings screen.
Indexing
| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Exclude globs | Builtin + .gitignore + .prismignore | Newline-separated gitignore syntax |
| Max file size | 1 MB | Options from 256 KB to no limit |
| Auto re-index | On | As files change |
| Auto re-index interval | 15 minutes | 5 minutes to 6 hours |
Appearance
Theme, density, fonts — presentation only; nothing here changes analysis.
Privacy
Every optional network capability, individually. Off by default. See consent and privacy.
Repository-bound settings (consent, bookmarks) live in .prism/. Presentation
settings live in the client.
