Admins configure organization-wide defaults under Preferences → Organization → Settings → Defaults. These apply to every member unless overridden in their personal preferences, an integration default, or a security policy.

Default Coding Agent

The coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Opencode) used when a workspace is created without an explicit choice, including Slack, Linear, GitHub, and GitLab triggers.

Default Model

The model the default agent uses, applied to Slack/Linear/GitHub/GitLab triggers, automations, and newly started workspaces.
  • Provider-specific. Each agent exposes its own models, so the picker lists models for the selected default agent. Changing the agent resets the model.
  • Agent default. Leaving the model unset lets the agent pick its own default.
  • Resolution. Agent defaults resolve user preference → Slack or Linear integration default → org default → agent default, and model values are always validated against the resolved agent.

Thinking and modes

Defaults can also set the thinking level, Codex-only goal mode, and Claude/Codex fast mode. Leave a field unset to inherit the next level in the resolution chain.

Other defaults

  • Pull Request Cleanup: whether workspaces are archived when their linked PR closes or merges. Archived workspaces keep their conversation history and can be woken again; closing a PR never deletes them (archived workspaces may still be removed later by the retention policy).
  • CI Failure Response: whether Replicas investigates failed GitHub Actions, external CI checks, GitLab pipelines, and GitHub human PR reviews on linked PRs or MRs.
  • Workspace History: persist workspace chat and Canvas history after a workspace sleeps. See Data Retention.
  • Default Environment: a default environment for Slack and Linear intake, skipping the picker unless a resolved user has a personal default.
  • Workspace Visibility: let members use the Team Workspaces view to see workspaces that aren’t their own.
