dprofile 0.4.0

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

🎭 dprofile

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.

SKILL.md is the primary Agent interface for this project. It defines the workflow and safety rules. The CLI is the secondary deterministic executor and fallback guide.

✨ Key Features

• 🤖 Agent-Native: Designed to be called by Agents to self-evolve or switch sub-agent configurations.
• 🛡️ Safety First: Automatic backups, .dprofile/ state, 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).
• 📄 Adapter activation: Verified adapters get a rendered copy at each tool's native paths.

🚀 Quick Start

Start by installing the Agent skill. In your Agent, ask:

Install the dprofile skill from github.com/pythias/dprofile.

After the skill is installed, ask the Agent to use a profile:

Use the coding profile for this project with Claude.

The Agent should read SKILL.md, classify the target, and choose the correct operation. For code projects, that usually means applying adapter files through dprofile apply.

The CLI is optional but recommended for deterministic execution:

pip install dprofile -i https://pypi.org/simple

📖 Usage Patterns

1. Global Agent Configs

Agents use dprofile to configure their standard global identities.

# Agent instruction: "Configure my global Claude persona to 'architect'."
dprofile apply architect --ai claude -g

2. Code Projects

Code projects may be opened by many Agents and IDEs, so dprofile targets the current project by default.

It generates and activates Agent-specific files 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.

# Apply profile to the current project for Claude and Cursor
dprofile apply coding --ai claude,cursor

# Apply to all verified adapters in the current project
dprofile apply coding --ai all

🤝 Development & Release

Testing

python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v

Publishing a Release

1. Update version in pyproject.toml and dprofile/__init__.py.
2. Tag and push (use the same version as in pyproject.toml):

git tag vX.Y.Z
git push origin main && git push origin vX.Y.Z

Replace X.Y.Z with the version you set in pyproject.toml (for example 0.4.0, tag as v0.4.0).
