Agent profile switcher for USER.md, SOUL.md, and AGENTS.md persona sets.

Project description

🎭 dprofile

PyPI version Python versions License: MIT CI

Instant Persona Switching for AI Agents.

dprofile is a safe, deterministic profile switcher designed for the modern Agent era. It treats persona sets (USER.md, SOUL.md, AGENTS.md) as atomic units, allowing both humans and AI Agents to swap identities in milliseconds.

✨ Key Features

  • 🤖 Agent-Native: Designed to be called by Agents to self-evolve or switch sub-agent configurations.
  • 🛡️ Safety First: Automatic backups, state tracking, and validation of target directories.
  • 🏗️ The Three-Layer Model:
    • USER.md: Who you are helping (Background & Preferences).
    • SOUL.md: Who you are (Identity & Values).
    • AGENTS.md: How you work (Tools & Protocols).
  • 🔗 Hybrid Modes: Switch via Symlinks (for live updates) or Copy (for portable exports).

🚀 Install

pip install dprofile

📖 Usage Patterns

1. Agent Configs

Agents use dprofile to switch their own identity or configure specialized worker profiles in Agent-owned config directories.

# Agent instruction: "Switch my Codex persona to 'architect'."
dprofile switch architect --target-dir ~/.codex

2. Code Projects

Code projects may be opened by many Agents and IDEs, so dprofile treats USER.md, SOUL.md, and AGENTS.md as profile source files rather than files to drop into a repository root.

For project directories, use the adapter workflow described in SKILL.md: generate under .dprofile/generated/<adapter>/ first, then activate only the Agent-specific files you want, such as CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/dprofile.mdc, .github/copilot-instructions.md, GEMINI.md, or AGENTS.md.

Adapters do not all receive the same source layers. Claude and Gemini get the full profile context, while Cursor, Copilot, Codex, and OpenCode default to the operating protocol layer so project instructions stay focused.

# Install project instructions for one AI assistant
dprofile init coding --target-dir . --ai codex

# Install for several assistants
dprofile init coding --target-dir . --ai claude,cursor,copilot

# Generate only, without activating native files
dprofile apply coding --target-dir . --agents all

3. Manual CLI (Human)

Developers can manage Agent-owned config directories directly.

# List all available personas
dprofile list

# Switch a dedicated Agent config directory to 'coding' mode
dprofile switch coding --target-dir ./my-project/.agent-config

🗃️ Bundled Profiles
