# Pulse config keys

Required read whenever a `pulse_*` value has to be interpreted. Schema only — the first-run procedure lives in `references/setup.md`.

## Config keys

- `pulse_product_name` -- string, used in report titles. Required for routing: if unset, skill is unconfigured.
- `pulse_lookback_default` -- one of `1h`, `24h`, `7d`, `30d` (default: `24h`)
- `pulse_primary_event` -- string, the engagement event name
- `pulse_value_event` -- string, the value-realization event name
- `pulse_completion_events` -- comma-separated string of 0-3 event names
- `pulse_quality_scoring` -- `true` or default `false` (AI products only)
- `pulse_quality_dimension` -- string scored 1-5 when `pulse_quality_scoring` is true; ignored otherwise
- `pulse_analytics_source` -- string identifying analytics provider (e.g., `posthog`, `mixpanel`, `custom`)
- `pulse_tracing_source` -- string identifying tracing provider (e.g., `sentry`, `datadog`, `custom`)
- `pulse_payments_source` -- string identifying payments provider (e.g., `stripe`, `custom`); omit if not used
- `pulse_db_enabled` -- `true` or default `false`; when `true`, read-only DB access is part of the pulse
- `pulse_metric_sources` -- comma-separated `metric=source` pairs giving per-strategy-metric source overrides (e.g., `retention_d7=posthog,nps=delighted`). Strategy metrics not listed fall back to `pulse_analytics_source` and are rendered with a `(default source)` marker so the implicit routing is visible.
- `pulse_pending_metrics` -- comma-separated string of strategy-doc metric names awaiting instrumentation; rendered as `no data` in each pulse report until instrumentation lands
- `pulse_excluded_metrics` -- comma-separated string of strategy-doc metric names intentionally excluded from the pulse; the metric stays in `STRATEGY.md` but is not surfaced in pulse reports
