File contents

Config Sync Profiles

Manage multiple configuration profiles stored in your GitHub backup repo.

Available actions

List profiles

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/profile-manager.sh" list

Shows all profiles with file counts, last push time, and which is active.

Create a profile

# Empty profile
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/profile-manager.sh" create NAME

# Clone from existing profile
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/profile-manager.sh" create NAME --from EXISTING

Creates a new profile. Use --from to clone an existing profile as a starting point.

Switch to a profile

Switching means pulling a different profile's config:

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/sync-pull.sh" --profile NAME

This backs up current config, then applies the target profile. The active profile is updated automatically.

Delete a profile

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/profile-manager.sh" delete NAME

Cannot delete the active profile. Switch to a different one first.

Compare two profiles

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/profile-manager.sh" diff NAME1 NAME2

Shows files that exist in only one profile or differ between them.

Profile info

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/profile-manager.sh" info NAME

Shows metadata and contents of a specific profile.

Instructions

Parse the user's action from $ARGUMENTS and run the appropriate command above.

If the user says "switch" to a profile, use the pull script with --profile rather than the profile-manager (since switching = pulling a different profile).

If no action is specified, default to list.
