.mira.yaml overrides
The optional per-repo .mira.yaml file overrides the deployment-wide mira.yaml for a single repo. Same schema, scoped to one repo.
Drop a .mira.yaml at the root of a repo to override the deployment-wide
mira.yaml for that one repo. It's
optional; reach for it only when a repo needs different review behaviour
(a noisy frontend wanting confidence_threshold: 0.85, a backend wanting
min_severity: "warning", etc.). Most repos don't need one.
Prefer the UI? The dashboard's per-repo settings page edits the same overrides without committing a file.
Schema
Same as mira.yaml: llm, filter,
review, index, every key optional. The
deployment-config reference documents every
key; anything there is overridable here.
DB connection and dashboard auth have no per-repo equivalent; they're set
deployment-wide via DATABASE_URL / ADMIN_PASSWORD
env vars.
Typical examples
Real .mira.yaml files are short, just the keys that differ.
A noisy frontend wanting stricter filtering and extra exclude patterns:
# .mira.yaml
filter:
confidence_threshold: 0.85
min_severity: "warning"
exclude_patterns:
- "*.lock"
- "src/generated/**"
- "vendor/**"A backend wanting the stronger model for review, the cheap one for indexing:
# .mira.yaml
llm:
review_model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-7"
indexing_model: "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5"A large repo keeping indexing cheap — skip files over 256 KB and don't index
the committed vendor/ tree:
# .mira.yaml
filter:
exclude_patterns:
- "vendor/**"
index:
max_file_size: 262144Every other key inherits from mira.yaml. See

merge rules.
