Paths and environment variables

Installation and runtime

Variable Default Purpose
AI_IT_HOME ~/.ai Installer base AI IT data home
AI_IT_HOUSE <AI_IT_HOME>/it-role-house (normally ~/.ai/it-role-house) Common runtime destination; an explicit value overrides the derived path
CLAUDE_HOME ~/.claude Claude-facing provider surface
CODEX_HOME ~/.codex Codex-facing provider surface
AI_HOUSE_MODEL_CONFIG ~/.config/ai-it-house/models.json Model-routing override

No path-variable exports are needed for the standard installation. These installer destination overrides do not migrate existing files or establish complete runtime relocation; generated instructions still reference the standard runtime path. See installation path overrides before using nonstandard destinations.
