Profile Editor

Status: 🧪 Beta

A project profile (.agent-teams/project.profile.yml) defines the technology context, path mappings, commands, and base agent overrides for a workspace. It feeds into the composition engine when resolving kit placeholders and applying project-level defaults.

---

Opening the Profile Editor

Dashboard → sidebar → Profile Editor

If no profile exists yet, the dashboard home page shows a Configure project profile prompt. Click it to open the editor directly.

---

Filling Out the Profile

The editor groups its settings into seven collapsible accordion sections. Click any section header to expand or collapse it — each header shows a live summary of the current values so you can scan the whole profile at a glance without opening every panel.

Basic Information

Field	Description
Project ID	Unique identifier for this project (kebab-case)
Name	Human-readable project name
Version	Project version string
Type	Project type: frontend, backend, fullstack, monorepo, or library

Technologies

List the technologies your project uses. These are used in template conditionals ({{#if technology:react}}).

• Click Add technology to add an entry manually
• Click Detect to have the extension scan your workspace and suggest technologies automatically

Paths

Named path mappings used in template variables ({{path:src}}).

• Add key-value pairs (e.g. src → src/, tests → tests/, components → src/components/)
• Click Detect to auto-fill paths based on your project structure

Commands

Named command mappings used in template variables ({{command:build}}).

• Add key-value pairs (e.g. build → pnpm build, test → pnpm test, lint → pnpm lint)
• Click Detect to auto-fill based on your package.json or other config files

Context Packs

Select which context packs are active for this project. These are embedded in every agent that belongs to this project unless overridden at team level.

Use the Preview button to simulate the budget algorithm before syncing. The preview shows:

• A progress bar with characters used vs the configured agents_md_budget (default 8 000 chars)
• Inlined packs (green) — essential packs always inlined; standard packs inlined until the budget is exhausted
• Referenced packs (amber) — standard packs that overflow the budget, plus all reference packs; listed in the root context file as headings without full content
• A separate GitHub Copilot note — Copilot has no budget limit and copies all selected packs as individual files under .github/context/

The preview refreshes automatically whenever you check or uncheck a pack while the panel is open.

Sync Targets

Choose which AI tools this project's agents should be synced to. Each target generates its output in the expected location for that tool:

Target	Output	Description
Claude Code	.claude/agents/ + AGENTS.md	Per-agent files and a root context file for Claude Code
Codex	AGENTS.md	Root context file for OpenAI Codex
Gemini CLI	GEMINI.md	Root context file for Gemini CLI. Context packs are inlined by priority (essential always, standard up to budget, reference as links)
OpenAI Agents SDK	AGENTS.md	Root context file for OpenAI Agents SDK. Same inlining behaviour as Gemini
GitHub Copilot	.github/agents/	Per-agent markdown files and a Copilot instructions file

Each target has an optional Add to .gitignore toggle that appears when the target is enabled. Use it to exclude that target's output from version control — useful when you want generated files to stay local.

Gitignore

Toggle this option to add the .agent-teams/ configuration directory to your project's .gitignore. Useful when you want to keep your agent configuration local to your machine.

---

Saving the Profile

Click Save at the bottom of the editor. The profile is written to .agent-teams/project.profile.yml. Changes are picked up automatically on the next sync.

---

Import / Export

The Import / Export page in the dashboard manages both the global agent catalog (stored in VS Code global storage) and the project profile. This is separate from saving the profile — it lets you back up and share configuration across workspaces.

Catalog (JSON)

Action	Description
Export	Saves the full catalog to a JSON file you choose
Import	Merges entries from a JSON file into the existing catalog (non-destructive)
Reset	Permanently deletes the entire catalog — use with caution

Profile (ZIP)

Action	Description
Export Profile as ZIP	Packages the entire .agent-teams/ directory — agents, teams, context packs, skills, and profile config — into a portable ZIP file
Import Profile from ZIP	Restores a previously exported ZIP into the current workspace. Files that already exist prompt for confirmation before being overwritten

---
