profile

A command for managing a global user profile stored in `~/.mindlink/USER.md`. The profile contains lasting details such as your role, experience, preferences, and communication style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to edit, display, or locate the profile, then import it into new projects and sync later changes across registered projects.
Why use it?
It prevents you from repeating the same personal context in every project and helps an AI assistant start new projects with that information.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

profile scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Manage your global user profile — imported into every new project automatically.


Synopsis

mindlink profile [--show] [--path]

Description

Your global user profile lives at ~/.mindlink/USER.md. It stores personal facts about you — role, experience, preferences, communication style — that are true regardless of which project you're working in.

When you run mindlink init on a new project, your profile is automatically imported into the ## User Profile section of .brain/MEMORY.md. Your AI starts the first session already knowing who you are.

When you run mindlink update, the profile is synced to all registered projects — any changes you make are propagated everywhere.


Commands

Open profile in your $EDITOR:

mindlink profile

Print profile to stdout:

mindlink profile --show

Print profile file path:

mindlink profile --path

Profile Format

# MindLink — Global User Profile

> This file is imported into every new project's MEMORY.md on `mindlink init`.
> Edit it with `mindlink profile`. Run `mindlink update` to sync changes to all projects.

Write anything your AI should know about you in plain Markdown. The more specific, the better — role, experience level, communication preferences, tools, and how you like problems explained.


How It Works

  1. On mindlink init: if ~/.mindlink/USER.md exists with real content, it is injected into the ## User Profile section of the new project's MEMORY.md.
  2. On mindlink update: the current profile replaces the ## User Profile section in all registered projects — keeping them in sync as your profile evolves.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

profile is a command published in the GitHub repository 404-not-found/mindlink (11 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 674 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
