Profile Management
Save, apply, and share complete AI agent configurations as named profiles.
Why profiles?
You've spent time tuning your AI agents — config files, MCP servers, skills, instructions. When you switch projects or onboard a teammate, you have to reconstruct that setup from memory.
A profile captures everything about an agent's configuration as a named snapshot:
- Config files —
~/.cursor/mcp.json,.cursorrules, project settings - MCP servers — which servers are installed and their arguments
- Skills — which skills are installed and from where
- Instructions — custom instructions per agent
Save it once, apply anywhere.
Quick start
bash
# Save your current cursor + claude setup as a profile
rolecraft profile save frontend-dev --cursor --claude
# Apply it later (or on another machine)
rolecraft profile apply frontend-dev
# Share with a teammate
rolecraft profile export frontend-dev --file ./team-profile.json --relativeTeam workflow
bash
# Lead saves a canonical setup
rolecraft profile save team-standard --all
# Export with relative paths (no machine-specific absolute paths)
rolecraft profile export team-standard --file .agent-profile.json --relative
# Commit to repo
git add .agent-profile.json
git commit -m "feat: add team agent profile"
# Teammate imports and applies
rolecraft profile import .agent-profile.json
rolecraft profile diff team-standard # preview changes
rolecraft profile apply team-standard # applyPer-project profiles with link
Link a profile to a specific project directory:
bash
rolecraft profile link frontend-dev # creates .agent-profile.json in cwd
rolecraft profile link # shows which profile is linked
rolecraft profile link --unlink # remove the linkThe linked profile is automatically discovered when rolecraft profile apply runs in that directory.
Safety: backups
Every profile apply creates a timestamped backup of your current config in ~/.agents/backups/ before making changes. Rollback is a manual restore from that directory.
