Profiles

Profiles point different projects at different thoughts repositories. Keep a work profile on your company’s thoughts repo and a personal one for side projects.

Create a Profile

hyprlayer thoughts profile create work

This prompts for:

• Thoughts repository path. Where this profile keeps its thoughts
• Repos directory name. Subdirectory for project-specific thoughts
• Global directory name. Subdirectory for cross-project thoughts

Or specify everything non-interactively:

hyprlayer thoughts profile create work \
  --repo ~/work-thoughts \
  --repos-dir repos \
  --global-dir global

Use a Profile

Specify the profile when you initialize a project:

hyprlayer thoughts init --profile work

Hyprlayer maps the project to that profile’s thoughts repository, and every later sync targets it.

List Profiles

hyprlayer thoughts profile list

hyprlayer thoughts profile list --json

Show Profile Details

hyprlayer thoughts profile show work

hyprlayer thoughts profile show work --json

Delete a Profile

hyprlayer thoughts profile delete work

Use --force to delete even if the profile is in use by mapped repositories.

How Profiles Work

Each project’s repository mapping in the config can reference a profile. Resolving paths for a project, Hyprlayer checks:

1. Does this project have a profile mapping?
2. If yes, use that profile’s thoughtsRepo, reposDir, and globalDir
3. If no, use the default (top-level) configuration
