Ship lib/profile.sh + 9 profiles in lib/profiles/. A profile is a
plain-text file listing items + types (gstack | personal | external |
plugin@<marketplace> | mcp | cli). `profile set <name>` enables the
listed items and disables the rest:
- gstack/personal/external skills: symlink toggle skills/ ↔
skills-disabled/ (gstack__<name> prefix to avoid collisions; no
prefix for personal/external).
- plugins typed `plugin@<marketplace>`: actually toggled via
`claude plugin enable|disable <name>@<marketplace>`. Allowlist:
MANAGED_PLUGINS = ui-ux-pro-max, plugin-dev, pr-review-toolkit.
Denylist: PROTECTED_PLUGINS = caveman, security-guidance,
superpowers (always-on, never disabled even if absent from a
profile).
- mcp magic: delegated to lib/toggle-external.sh which already
handles the MAGIC_API_KEY env lookup. Other MCPs stay advisory.
- cli (rtk, gsd, ctx7, graphify): status-only, never auto-installed.
Profiles shipped:
web public website work — frontend + content + light dev
seo SEO + GEO + W3C audit (search/AI indexability + a11y)
web-full production website end-to-end (web ∪ seo ∪ qa-only/canary)
backend backend / API / system dev — no design, no SEO
design visual QA, design systems, mockups, polish
dev daily code work — features, fixes, refactor, ship
qa site testing, perf, canary, validation
audit comprehensive audit — security + SEO + perf + health
minimal strip all gstack skills (quiet session)
Commands:
profile list / show <name> / current / apply <name> / set <name> /
reset / diff <a> <b>
`current` heuristic returns "full" when nothing is disabled, otherwise
picks the profile with the highest available-ratio (counts both
"enabled" and "installed" — the latter for CLIs). Tiebreaker: larger
profile total wins, so web-full beats web at a 100% tie.
`reset` re-enables every gstack skill but does NOT touch plugins —
the user re-enables a managed plugin manually or via `apply <profile>`.
This is documented in the trailing info line.
Integration:
- skills/profile/SKILL.md — `/profile` slash command, lists profiles,
documents the per-type mechanism, points at lib/profile.sh.
- agents/plugin-advisor.md — DETECT phase calls `profile current`,
OUTPUT adds a PROFILE line, and TOGGLING EXTERNAL TOOLS gains a
"Skill profiles" section with a signal → profile recommendation
table.
- lib/toggle-external.sh — header pointer to profile.sh for fine-
grained activation (toggle-external still owns whole-gstack and
magic-MCP toggles).
- Makefile — `make profile cmd="set <name>"`, profile-list,
profile-current, profile-reset.
Tested end-to-end: `set web` enables ui-ux-pro-max + magic; `set seo`
disables ui-ux-pro-max; `set minimal` disables ui-ux-pro-max but
spares always-on plugins; `reset` restores all 64 skills; shellcheck
clean.

Add `magic` to the unified toggle-external.sh helper alongside gstack,
emil-design-eng, darwin-skill, find-skills. MCPs are toggled via
`claude mcp add|remove` instead of symlink moves.
API key loaded from $REPO/.env (gitignored) via .env.example template.
install-plugins.sh step 8.7 forces magic MCP off after each install run
so the MCP doesn't load into every session unless explicitly enabled.
Toggle: bash lib/toggle-external.sh enable|disable|status magic

gstack ./setup now creates skills/<name>/ as directories (with a SKILL.md
symlink inside) rather than top-level symlinks. A second disable call used
to nest the new dir inside the existing one (gstack__<name>/<name>/),
producing "mv: cannot overwrite … Directory not empty" on the third call
and breaking `make install` under set -euo pipefail.
rm -rf the destination first — contents are symlinks into the submodule
and are regenerated by gstack ./setup, so clobbering is safe.

`claude plugin enable|disable` only toggles marketplace plugins.
Tools living as symlinks (gstack per-skill entries, emil-design-eng,
darwin-skill, find-skills) had no lever — users had to edit symlinks
by hand. The new script moves symlinks in/out of skills-disabled/
so Claude Code stops or starts scanning them.
Also removes the legacy global `skills/gstack` symlink that shadowed
per-skill entries with a duplicate top-level "gstack" skill (same
description as "browse"). gstack detection in detect-plugins.sh now
probes an individual skill instead.
plugin-advisor reads the new script's `list` command when gathering
state and emits its `enable|disable` commands in recommendations.
