# Default behavior

> What you get out of the box — every default the plugin applies if you install it with no configuration.

This page is the cheat sheet — a single table of every observable default the plugin applies at install time. It’s last in **Getting started** on purpose: by now you’ve seen [how the plugin works](/starlight-llm-actions/getting-started/concepts/) and the [scenarios](/starlight-llm-actions/getting-started/use-cases/) that justify changing each behavior, so this table is most useful as a quick scan of what’s on, off, or auto-injected before you write any config.

## Where each default lives

If you want the authoritative list with every option (including ones not in the table above), see the [Configuration reference](/starlight-llm-actions/configuration/reference/). The table here focuses on observable defaults — what a reader sees when they open the dropdown or print a page — rather than every internal setting.

If a default doesn’t fit your site, the [Use cases](/starlight-llm-actions/getting-started/use-cases/) page walks through the scenarios that justify changing each one, with links to a [live example](/starlight-llm-actions/examples/) demonstrating the override.
