Profiles

Profiles are named collections of rules, skills, workflows, and sub-agents. Use them to group standards by team, project, or context.

Why profiles

A frontend team and a backend team might share some standards but not others. Profiles let you:

  • Bundle rules and skills for specific contexts
  • Install different sets of standards per project
  • Share profiles across your organization
  • Set a default profile for quick installs

Using profiles

Install from a specific profile:

braid install --profile frontend-standards

Or set a default in your braid.json:

{
  "profile": "frontend-standards"
}

Then just run:

braid install

Managing profiles

List your profiles:

braid profiles list

Create a new profile:

braid profiles create --name "backend-standards"

Set a default:

braid profiles set-default --name "frontend-standards"

Organization profiles

In an organization, admins can create shared profiles that apply to all members. When a team member runs braid install, they get the organization’s standards plus any personal additions.
