<p>The Goose CLI and Desktop UI share all core configurations, including LLM provider settings, model selection, and extension configurations. When you install or configure extensions in either interface, the settings are stored in a central location at <code>~/.config/goose/config.yaml</code>, making them available to both the Desktop application and CLI. This makes it convenient to switch between interfaces while maintaining consistent settings.</p>
