 Omarchy watches systemd-coredump for process crashes. When something segfaults, you'll get a "Process crashed" notification — click it, and the crash is handed to your default agent along with Omarchy's diagnose-crash skill, which walks the agent through establishing the facts from the core dump and deciding whether the crash is worth reporting upstream. You can also run it by hand against any PID from `coredumpctl list` with `omarchy agent crash <pid>`.
 
+The watching is on by default. Turn it off under _Trigger > Toggle > Crash Capture_ (or with `omarchy toggle crash-capture`) and the notifications stop; `omarchy agent crash <pid>` still works by hand.

 ### Local LLMs
 
 Omarchy recommends two ways of running local LLM models: LM Studio and Ollama. LM Studio provides a GUI interface for finding open-weight models, installing them, and running them. It's a great way to get going easily. Ollama offers a CLI for doing so similarly. But if you're new to local models, I'd start with LM Studio. You can install either under _Install > AI_ in the Omarchy Menu.
