- BDR-007: Skill profiles partition gstack by usage (v1, skill-only).
Decision to ship lib/profile.sh + symlink-based toggle for skills,
with plugin/MCP entries advisory in v1. Rationale: the existing
toggle-external.sh enable|disable gstack is too coarse — it
disables checkpoint/ship/learn alongside design skills. Profiles
hide the irrelevant skills without uninstalling the gstack repo.
Alternatives rejected: forking SKILL.md to strip the gstack
preamble (re-fork on every upgrade — preamble already degrades
gracefully via `|| true`); per-skill toggle via claude plugin
enable/disable (gstack skills are not marketplace plugins);
removing symlinks (lossy if user has local edits).
- BDR-008: Profile system v2 — extend to plugins + MCPs + CLIs.
Reverses the "advisory only" stance from BDR-007 alternative #4.
User feedback: pure-skill toggling left ui-ux-pro-max/magic always
loaded regardless of profile, so passive token cost didn't drop
enough on profile switch. Solution: real claude plugin enable/
disable for an explicit MANAGED_PLUGINS allowlist (3 entries) +
PROTECTED_PLUGINS denylist for always-on (caveman, security-
guidance, superpowers). MCP magic delegated to toggle-external.sh.
Other MCPs stay advisory because each needs specific config. Adds
4 new profiles: web, seo, web-full, backend.
- Journal: 2026-05-04 entry summarizing the v1 ship, then a follow-up
block for the v2 extension (new profiles, plugin auto-toggle, tie-
breaker for `current`).
- TODO.md: marked done — v1 (Skill profiles) section and v2 (Profile
system v2 — extension plugins/MCPs/CLIs) section, both with their
full subtask lists.
