Configuration guides often stay at the surface level, but this one goes into the seven distinct automation modules with actual TOML examples. The separation between Collector, Predictor, and Researcher roles makes sense for dividing responsibilities across an automation stack. The Twitter+Browser module combination addresses a common need for social listening plus web research in one flow. The multi-agent configuration example is especially useful for teams trying to understand how these modules interact.
