+# Configuration API
+
+## Overview
+
+The Configuration API provides comprehensive configuration management for Claude Flow, including intelligent defaults, progressive disclosure, schema validation, and multi-tier storage. This system adapts to user expertise levels and provides seamless configuration experiences.

+## Configuration Manager
+
+### Core Configuration Manager
+
+```typescript
+import { IntelligentConfigurationManager } from 'claude-flow-novice/config';
+
+interface ConfigurationManager {
+  // Core operations
+  get<T>(key: string, defaultValue?: T): Promise<T>;
+  set<T>(key: string, value: T): Promise<void>;
+  has(key: string): Promise<boolean>;
+  delete(key: string): Promise<void>;
+  clear(): Promise<void>;
+
+  // Batch operations
+  getMany(keys: string[]): Promise<Record<string, any>>;
+  setMany(values: Record<string, any>): Promise<void>;
+
+  // Schema validation
+  validate(config: any): Promise<ValidationResult>;
+  validateKey(key: string, value: any): Promise<ValidationResult>;
+
+  // Event handling
+  onChange(callback: ConfigChangeCallback): string;
+  offChange(subscriptionId: string): void;
+
+  // Advanced features
+  getSchema(key?: string): Promise<ConfigSchema>;
+  export(format?: 'json' | 'yaml' | 'env'): Promise<string>;
+  import(data: string, format?: 'json' | 'yaml' | 'env'): Promise<void>;
+}
+```
+
+### Configuration Creation and Usage
+
+```typescript
+// Create configuration manager with intelligent defaults
+const configManager = new IntelligentConfigurationManager({
+  namespace: 'claude-flow',
+  enableIntelligentDefaults: true,
+  enableProgressiveDisclosure: true,
+  userTier: 'development',
+  storageLocation: './config',
+  validation: {
+    enabled: true,
+    strict: false,
+    autoCorrect: true
+  }
+});
+
+// Initialize configuration
+await configManager.initialize();
+
+// Basic configuration operations
+await configManager.set('agents.defaultTimeout', 300000);
+const timeout = await configManager.get('agents.defaultTimeout', 120000);
+
+// Batch operations for performance
+await configManager.setMany({
+  'swarm.topology': 'hierarchical',
+  'swarm.maxAgents': 8,
+  'performance.optimization': true,
+  'hooks.enabled': true
+});
+
+const swarmConfig = await configManager.getMany([
+  'swarm.topology',
+  'swarm.maxAgents',
+  'swarm.strategy'
+]);
+```
+
+### Configuration Schema Types
+
+```typescript
+interface ConfigSchema {
+  type: 'object' | 'array' | 'string' | 'number' | 'boolean';
+  description?: string;
+  default?: any;
+  required?: boolean;
+  properties?: Record<string, ConfigSchema>;
+  items?: ConfigSchema;
+  enum?: any[];
+  minimum?: number;
+  maximum?: number;
+  pattern?: string;
+  format?: string;
+  examples?: any[];
+  tier?: UserTier | UserTier[];
+  category?: ConfigCategory;
+  tags?: string[];
+}
+
+interface ValidationResult {
+  valid: boolean;
+  errors: ValidationError[];
+  warnings: ValidationWarning[];
+  suggestions?: ConfigSuggestion[];
+}
+
+interface ValidationError {
+  path: string;
+  message: string;
+  code: string;
+  severity: 'error' | 'warning' | 'info';
+}
+```
+
+## Intelligent Configuration
+
+### Intelligent Defaults System
+
+```typescript
+import { IntelligentDefaults } from 'claude-flow-novice/config';

+
+  // Context-aware suggestions
+  async suggestConfiguration(context: ProjectContext): Promise<ConfigSuggestion[]>;
+  async optimizeConfiguration(currentConfig: any): Promise<OptimizationResult>;
+
+  // Learning and adaptation
+  async learnFromUsage(usage: UsagePattern): Promise<void>;
+  async updateDefaultsFromSuccess(config: any, outcome: OutcomeMetrics): Promise<void>;
+}
+
+// Create intelligent defaults manager
+const intelligentDefaults = new IntelligentDefaults({
+  enableLearning: true,
+  adaptationRate: 0.1,
+  confidenceThreshold: 0.8
+});
+
+// Detect user tier and project type
+const userTier = await intelligentDefaults.detectUserTier();
+const projectType = await intelligentDefaults.detectProjectType('./');
+
+// Generate intelligent defaults
+const defaults = await intelligentDefaults.generateProjectDefaults(projectType);
+const suggestions = await intelligentDefaults.suggestConfiguration({
+  userTier,
+  projectType,
+  requirements: ['typescript', 'react', 'testing']
+});
+
+console.log(`Detected ${userTier} user working on ${projectType} project`);
+console.log(`Generated ${suggestions.length} configuration suggestions`);
+```
+
+### Project Detection Engine

+  generateRecommendations(analysis: ProjectAnalysis): Promise<ConfigRecommendation[]>;
+}
+
+// Implementation example
+const projectEngine = new ProjectDetectionEngine();
+
+const analysis = await projectEngine.analyzeProject('./my-project');
+/*
