2. Modify a setting
   Description: Change career focus, analogies, or other settings

3. Just viewing

---

Step 3a: Switch Profile (if selected)

**IMPORTANT:** Read the current profile type from `.claude/ownyourcode-manifest.json` and EXCLUDE it from the options. Only show profiles the user can switch TO (not their current one).

**Available profiles (show only those NOT matching current):**

| Profile | Description | |---------|-------------| | Junior Developer | Learning to code, building portfolio projects, need guidance on fundamentals | | Career Switcher | Transitioning from another field, have problem-solving skills, learning tech | | Interview Prep | Preparing for job interviews, need portfolio pieces and STAR stories | | Experienced Developer | Know how to code (or learning a new language), want quality checks and velocity | | Custom | Create your own personalized mentor experience |

Question: "Which profile would you like to switch to?"

Options: [Build dynamically — exclude current profile]
Example if current = "junior":
1. Career Switcher
2. Interview Prep
3. Experienced Developer
4. Custom

After selection, ask the profile-specific questions (same as /own:init Phase -1).

**If Custom is selected:** Run the full Custom Profile Questionnaire from /own:init, then generate `ownyourcode/profiles/custom.md`.

Then: 1. Update manifest with new profile 2. Update CLAUDE.md @import path (see "Updating CLAUDE.md Import" section below) 3. Confirm the change

✅ Profile switched to [New Profile]

Your CLAUDE.md import path has been updated.
Your dashboard and project data (dashboard-data.js) are unchanged.

---

Step 3b: Modify Setting (if selected)

Question: "Which setting do you want to change?"

Options:
1. Career Focus
   Description: Currently: [current setting]

2. Design Involvement
   Description: Currently: [Yes/No]

3. Analogies
   Description: Currently: [Enabled from X / Disabled]

4. Other profile-specific settings
   Description: Background, workflow preference, etc.

Based on selection, ask the appropriate question:

**Career Focus:**

Question: "Are you preparing for job interviews?"

Options:
1. Yes, full extraction
   Description: Get STAR stories and resume bullets after every task

2. Yes, just tips
   Description: Get interview insights while learning, no formal extraction

3. No, focused on learning
   Description: Skip career extraction, focus on building

**Design Involvement:**

Question: "Want to be involved in design decisions?"

Options:
1. Yes
   Description: Collaborate on architecture and specs

2. No
   Description: AI generates specs, you review and implement

**Analogies:**

Question: "Want me to use analogies?"

Options:
1. Yes
   Description: I'll ask what domain to draw from

2. No
   Description: Just explain concepts directly

If Yes, follow up: "What should I draw analogies from?"

After any change: 1. Update manifest 2. **If Custom profile:** Update `ownyourcode/profiles/custom.md` (find and replace the relevant section) 3. Confirm (CLAUDE.md automatically loads updated profile via @import)

✅ Setting updated: [Setting] → [New Value]

Profile behavior updated. Changes are active.

---

Step 3c: Just Viewing (if selected)

No changes made. Your current profile settings remain active.

To change settings later, run /own:profile again.

---

Updating CLAUDE.md Import

**CLAUDE.md uses @import to load profile behavior.** When switching profiles, you just need to change which file it imports.

For Profile Switching

Find this line in CLAUDE.md (under `## Profile Settings`):

@ownyourcode/profiles/[current-profile].md

Replace it with the new profile path:

@ownyourcode/profiles/[new-profile].md

**Profile type mapping:** | Profile Selected | Import Path | |------------------|-------------| | Junior | `@ownyourcode/profiles
