Nine gstack skills leave every profile (ship is trunk-based on Gitea,
land-and-deploy auto-merges and deploys, setup-deploy, autoplan reads
paths that do not exist here, context-save has no restore, learn is an
unused parallel store, careful and guard hooks never fired, design-shotgun
needs an absent OpenAI key). lib/gstack-removed.sh is the single denylist;
profile.sh gstack on and toggle-external.sh enable gstack skip it.
full now carries everything every other profile carries (user rule), minus
the parked make-pdf, diagram and 21st-ai/ui-explore/ui-review, which live
in the new max profile together with pr-review-toolkit. The 21st trio also
leaves web, web-full and design (redundant with impeccable + ui-ux-pro-max).
lib/tests/profile-census.test.sh asserts the invariants live and on a
baseline fixture plus one mutant per invariant; gstack-removed.test.sh
covers both restore paths.
lib/vendor-skills.sh: vendor_pinned_skills <lock-key> [refresh], list or
dict lock shapes, lock read via python argv, traversal and charset guard
on lock values, VENDOR_BASE_URL honoured only as file:// (hermetic suite),
per-file tmp+mv, refresh skips a skill never installed. install-plugins.sh

argv, never hardcoded. Case 2 of the 6-repo review, BDR-102.
No profile selected (.active-profile absent, empty or legacy "none") now
means the `full` profile is in force: DEFAULT_PROFILE declared once in
lib/profile.sh, resolved by active_profile(); the statusline reads the
constant and shows `full` instead of `?`; `gstack off` trims to it instead
of erroring. `reset` goes to the default profile (= `set full`: enables its
list, parks any non-listed gstack or managed item). `current` names the
active label and scores that profile only, saying `default — not applied
yet` until a set/apply/reset wrote the cache; the "none" sentinel and the
cross-profile best-guess scan are gone (they keyed on the parked-gstack
count, which says nothing under BDR-030's gstack-off default). Hermetic
suite lib/tests/profile-default.test.sh (29 checks) seeds gstack as OFF like
a real tree. Citers updated: profile SKILL, Makefile help, plugin-advisor
PROFILE line + reset paragraph, toggle-external header.
The magic MCP wiring left with BDR-093; this removes the prose that still
described it: gitleaks allowlist note, Step 8.7 header, plugins.lock note,
profile.sh comments and the usage() NOTE that still claimed `set` toggles
"the magic MCP", the managed-set test header, README (one history sentence
kept; MCP-era risk paragraph and the retired bashrc wrapper claim dropped).
.env.example carries the same scrub in the working tree; staging it is
denied to the agent (`git add .env*`), the user stages it.
Upstream supersedes `@21st-dev/magic` with `@21st-dev/cli` (bin `21st`):
same endpoint, `21st login` in place of an API key, no MCP process loaded
into every session.
- install-plugins.sh Step 8.7: `npm i -g @21st-dev/cli` (pinned in
plugins.lock.json), staged `21st skills install`, TTY-only login offer,
pack disabled by default. update-all.sh 7.4 refreshes both.
- The documented `21st install-skill` cannot be used: the installer refuses
to follow a symlink on the target path and `~/.claude/skills` is one. The
install runs under a throwaway HOME and the result moves into
skills-external/21st-* (gitignored), symlinked on demand.
- toggle-external.sh manages `21st` as a pack (names globbed from
skills-external/21st-*, parked under plain names). `magic` is gone.
- The 5 design skills join design/web/web-full/full and MANAGED_EXTERNALS;
21st-registry and 21st-design-sync stay parked. MANAGED_MCPS is now empty
and profile.sh's dead magic branches are removed.
- Design gate: GATE-BLOCK gains `21st` (required-manual, magic's old slot)
and `21st-ui-build`; PATH repair extended to the npm global bin.
- settings.json: the 4 mcp__magic__* ask entries go; the outward-facing
21st verbs land in autoMode.soft_deny, the tier that holds under auto
mode (LRN-153).
- Docs: README, CLAUDE.global.md, design-gate.md, profile SKILL.md,
.env.example, .gitleaks.toml, link.sh. BDR-093, LRN-158.
Tests: profile-set-managed 17/17, make test green except 2 pre-existing
gitflow FAILs (gitleaks binary absent on this host), shellcheck clean.
- MANAGED_EXTERNALS (emil-design-eng, frontend-design,
design-motion-principles, impeccable) + MANAGED_MCPS (magic):
cmd_set now trims both when the profile does not list them —
design leftovers no longer survive a 'set backend'
- cmd_set refactored to 4 symmetric trim helpers; nothing outside
the MANAGED_* allowlists is ever auto-toggled (darwin-skill manual)
- enable_skill external: from-source fallback (ln -sf
skills-external/<name>), mirrors toggle-external.sh
- stale usage() NOTE + SKILL.md updated to the both-ways reality
- hermetic test: 16 checks, fixture repo + fake claude shim (gstack
on-demand, from-source, park/restore, magic add/remove, non-managed
untouched); shellcheck + full make test green
Env-var-only seams (§3.2), zero logic change (diff is only the seam
lines): REPO gains PROFILE_REPO_OVERRIDE (cd -P already correct, no
bugfix needed here — only toggle-external.sh had the logical-cd bug);
CLAUDE_BIN="${CLAUDE_BIN:-claude}" replaces the 8 bare `claude`
invocation sites (4 `command -v claude` checks + `claude plugin list`/
`plugin enable`/`plugin disable`/`mcp list`). The advisory `info "..."`
hint strings that tell a HUMAN what to type stay literal "claude" —
those aren't invocations.
Unlocks (BACKLOG, not built in this job): a hermetic profile.sh suite
via HOME/REPO/CLAUDE_BIN injection, promoting J4-19 from UNTESTABLE.
Verified: bash -n clean, shellcheck clean, `profile.sh current`/`list`
behaviorally unchanged against the real repo, full `make test` exit 0.
gstack stays OFF by default (no per-skill symlink in skills/, zero context
cost). enable_skill now gains a gstack branch: a skill absent from skills/
and skills-disabled/ but present in the skills-external/gstack submodule is
symlinked in on demand when a profile lists it; disable_gstack_not_in()
parks it again on an unrelated profile.
This makes `set full` (which lists 35 gstack skills) work without 35 bogus
"missing — try: bash link.sh" warnings, without abandoning the OFF-by-default
policy. The old remedy message was wrong (link.sh never creates gstack
skills) and is replaced with submodule-aware messages.

Centralize gstack toggling in the `profile` command without losing the
active-profile label.
- `gstack on` re-enables ALL parked gstack skills (moves
skills-disabled/gstack__* back) but does NOT touch .active-profile,
so the user layers full gstack on top of their current profile and
the statusline label is preserved. Unlike `reset`, which clears the
label to "none".
- `gstack off` disables gstack skills not listed in the active profile;
errors cleanly when no profile is active (needs one to know what to
keep).
Refactor (behavior-preserving): extract three shared helpers
`enable_all_gstack`, `disable_gstack_not_in`, `parked_gstack_count` and
rewire `cmd_reset` + `cmd_set` to reuse them instead of duplicating the
symlink-toggle loops. Wire `gstack` into main() dispatch, usage(), and the
header usage block.
Docs: SKILL.md argument-hint, examples, and output-policy updated. The
generic `make profile cmd="gstack on"` target already covers Make usage.
Verified: shellcheck CLEAN, `bash -n` OK, 6-case test (help, bad-action,
off-with-no-profile, on, off-trim, on-cycle) with final assertion that the
live symlink state was restored exactly to its pre-test value.
Memory: capitalize BDR-018 (decision), LRN-024 (DRY helper-extraction
pattern), BLK-007 (6 gstack source skills ios-*/spec unlinked post
submodule bump — open follow-up), EVAL-002 (self-eval, false "full.profile
bug" flag corrected pre-edit). Backfill index drift: BDR-017, BLK-005/006.

`bash lib/profile.sh current` is 12s+ — far too slow to call from the
statusline hook (runs on every keystroke). Add a one-line cache file at
`<repo>/.active-profile`, written by `cmd_apply` and `cmd_reset`. The
statusline reads the file directly with a single `head -n1`, no
sub-shell into `profile.sh`.
Behavior:
- `bash lib/profile.sh set <name>` (which ends in `cmd_apply`) and
`bash lib/profile.sh apply <name>` both write `<name>` to
`<repo>/.active-profile`.
- `bash lib/profile.sh reset` writes the literal `none`.
- Statusline inserts the cached profile name between the plan segment
and the context-bar segment, e.g.
`Opus 4.7 | claude (master) | Max | full | ████░░░░░░ 42% | 3m`.
- Missing or empty cache → statusline shows `?`.
Cache file is gitignored — it tracks runtime state, not source.

`lib/profile.sh:43` set `REPO="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/.." && pwd)"`.
Default `cd` preserves symlinks (logical pathname), so when the script is
invoked via the `~/.claude/lib/profile.sh` symlink, `$REPO` resolves to
`/home/bchanot-ubuntu/.claude` instead of the real repo path. `$SKILLS_DIR`
still works because `~/.claude/skills` is itself a symlink to the repo's
`skills/`. But `$DISABLED_DIR` ends up at `~/.claude/skills-disabled` (a real
sibling directory containing only stale npx-skill symlinks) while the actual
disabled gstack skills sit at `<repo>/skills-disabled`.
Symptom: `bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" current` returns
`none (all gstack skills enabled — no profile set)` even when a profile is
applied — because `find $DISABLED_DIR -name 'gstack__*'` returns 0.
Adding `-P` to `cd` forces physical-path resolution so `$REPO` always points
to the real repo regardless of how the script was invoked. `cmd_current`
now correctly reports `full (100% match, 14 gstack skills disabled)`.

Superset of web-full + dev + audit + plan tools — covers brainstorm →
design → architecture review → scaffold → implement → ship → audit
pipeline needed by /init-project to produce a real MVP in one session.
Also renames cmd_current "no-profile" sentinel from "full" to "none"
to avoid collision with the new profile name.

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.
