Profile

You might say

Configure two profiles for me: 'work' using our company's private API, and 'personal' using my own API Key. Show me how to switch between them.

A Profile is a named, saved group of configuration values that can be switched together.For example, work and personal projects may use separate Providers, Base URLs, key variable names, or permission settings saved as work and personal profiles. Selecting a profile loads its configuration; it does not switch git branches, project files, or conversation history, and it does not replace checking the actual endpoint and credential source.

Works with the selected configuration

A Profile isolates configuration; it does not create a new session. Sessions and configuration are different concepts.

What does a Profile do?

It names a settings group: Related Provider, Base URL, model, and permission settings can be saved as one named combination.

Select one at startup: When the tool starts with an explicit profile, the client initializes the session from that group.

It reduces manual switching errors: Separate work and personal connections reduce the chance of sending code through the wrong endpoint.

Which Profile workflow is safer for keeping sensitive project requests off public endpoints?

Explicitly select an isolated intranet Profile when starting the tool in the sensitive projectPut both company and personal keys in one default Profile for convenienceTreat switching a Profile as switching a Git branch, so endpoint checks are unnecessary

Check that the work and personal profiles use separate Providers, Base URLs, and key variable names. Do not read key values or change Git branches; show how to select a profile explicitly at startup.
