Bastien Chanot 5776195eb6 feat(profile): list counters + grouped show + --plain parse mode
list: ITEMS column with compact per-category counts (e.g. 12s·1p·1m·1c),
left block aligned; full descriptions kept (CLI output, not 80-strict).
show: grouped by type (gstack/external/personal/plugin/mcp/cli) with
status; redundant per-line TYPE column and plugin marketplace suffix dropped.
show --plain: parsable "type<TAB>name" list, no status, zero claude calls —
the contract for the upcoming design gate. All derived from .profile files.

profile Partition Claude skills by purpose: design, dev, qa, audit, minimal. Toggles symlinks between skills/ and skills-disabled/ to keep only the skills relevant to the current kind of work. Trigger: "profile", "skill profile", "design profile", "qa profile", "switch to design", "set profile", "active profile", "quel profil", "profil design", "active les skills design", "désactive gstack", "réduire le bruit gstack". list | show <name> | current | apply <name> | set <name> | reset | gstack on|off | diff <a> <b>

profile

Activate a curated subset of skills for a specific kind of work — instead of carrying every gstack + personal skill in every session.

When to invoke

  • User asks to switch profile (set design, profile dev, quel profil actif).
  • User wants to see what's in a profile (profile show qa).
  • User wants to compare profiles (profile diff design qa).
  • User asks to "reduce gstack noise" or "only design skills".

Profiles available

Profile Use case
web Public website work — frontend + content + light dev
seo SEO + GEO + W3C audit — search/AI indexability + standards
web-full Production website end-to-end — web + seo combined
full Maximum — web-full + plan + dev for /init-project MVP pipeline
backend Backend / API / system dev — no design, no SEO
design Visual QA, design systems, mockups, polish
dev Daily code work — features, fixes, refactor, ship (any stack)
qa Site testing, perf, canary, validation
audit Comprehensive audit — security + SEO + GEO + W3C + perf + health
minimal Strip all gstack skills (quiet session)

Mechanism

Each profile is a plain-text file under lib/profiles/<name>.profile that lists items + types:

Type Toggle mechanism
gstack symlink move skills/ ↔ skills-disabled/gstack__<name>
personal symlink move skills/ ↔ skills-disabled/<name> (no prefix)
external symlink move skills/ ↔ skills-disabled/<name>
plugin@<marketplace> claude plugin enable|disable <name>@<marketplace> (auto)
mcp (known: magic) delegate to lib/toggle-external.sh (uses .env)
mcp (other) advisory — prints manual claude mcp add … command
cli advisory only — reports installed/not-installed

Always-on plugins (security-guidance, superpowers) are protected — set will refuse to disable them even if the profile omits them. Managed plugins that set may disable when not in profile: ui-ux-pro-max@ui-ux-pro-max-skill, plugin-dev@claude-code-plugins, pr-review-toolkit@claude-code-plugins. Other plugins are never auto-toggled.

Commands

# List available profiles
bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" list

# Show profile contents + per-skill status
bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" show <name>

# Detect which profile is currently active
bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" current

# Enable skills in profile (additive — keeps others enabled)
bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" apply <name>

# Enable only skills in profile (disables non-listed gstack skills)
bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" set <name>

# Re-enable every gstack skill (undo any set/apply) — resets active label to "none"
bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" reset

# Toggle gstack only, keeping the active-profile label intact
bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" gstack on    # re-enable ALL gstack on top of current profile
bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" gstack off   # disable gstack skills not in the active profile

# Compare two profiles
bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" diff <a> <b>

Execution

Run lib/profile.sh with the user's arguments. If user passed nothing, default to list. If user named a profile without a verb (e.g. "profile design"), treat it as set <name> — but confirm first because set disables other gstack skills.

bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" $ARGUMENTS

Output policy

  • After set / apply / reset / gstack on|off: show the count of skills moved + tell the user to start a new Claude session to pick up the changes (Claude scans skills/ at session start).
  • After current: report the active profile + match percentage.
  • After show: render the grouped output directly — no extra commentary unless the user asks.

Tradeoffs to mention if asked

  • gstack skills still depend on ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/ for telemetry, update-check, learnings — script doesn't touch that infra. Disabled skills are just hidden from Claude Code's scanner; the gstack repo stays installed.
  • Profile changes do NOT toggle Claude Code plugins (ui-ux-pro-max, etc.) or MCP servers — those are advisory only. The user runs claude plugin enable|disable and claude mcp add|remove manually.
  • set is destructive in the sense that it disables non-listed gstack skills. Use apply if the user wants additive behavior.
