# Defaults

> Org-wide defaults for agents, models, and workspaces.

Admins configure organization-wide defaults under [Organization → Settings → Preferences](https://replicas.dev/dashboard/settings?tab=defaults). These apply to every member unless overridden in their [personal preferences](https://replicas.dev/dashboard/account/preferences), an integration default, or a [security policy](/admin/team).

## Default Coding Agent

The coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, DeepSeek Harness, fx, Kimi Code, Opencode, or Pi) used when a workspace is created without an explicit choice, including [Slack](/features/slack), [Linear](/features/linear), [GitHub](/features/github), and [GitLab](/features/gitlab) triggers.

A default only applies while its agent is connected. If the configured default has no credentials for the user or the organization, Replicas resolves the default to a connected agent instead. This applies everywhere defaults are used, including the app composer, Slack, Linear, GitHub, GitLab, and automations. You can still choose a different agent explicitly.

## Default Model

The model the default agent uses, applied to Slack/Linear/GitHub/GitLab triggers, [automations](/features/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.
* **Shared inference credentials.** Opencode and Pi can use the same Aster API key; DeepSeek Harness, Opencode, and Pi can use the same OpenRouter API key.
* **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.

Inherited fields show the value that will be used with **(default)** or **(org default)** after it. The label is informational: the setting remains inherited and follows future changes to that default.

On the app landing page, configured personal or organization model and thinking defaults take precedence. When either field has no configured default, the app remembers the most recent selection for each coding agent in that browser.

## Other defaults

* **Pull Request Cleanup**: two independent toggles for whether workspaces are archived when their linked PR is closed without merging, and when it is merged. 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](/admin/data-retention).
* **Default Environment**: a default [environment](/features/environments) for Slack and Linear intake, skipping the picker unless a resolved user has a personal default.
* **Workspace Visibility**: let members use the app [Owner filter](/admin/team) to see workspaces that aren't their own.
