Business Flex Profiles

RStack is an npm package that can sit on top of Pi, Claude Code, Operator, Codex-style CLIs, Gemini-style CLIs, or a custom harness. Business Flex profiles make that package feel tailored instead of dumping the whole catalog on every project. A profile answers four questions before agents run:

Which business workflow is this project using?
Which agent domains are enabled?
Which plugins and specialists should be considered first?
What budget guardrails should planning use?

Quick setup

cd your-project
npm install rstack-agents
npx rstack-agents init --profile business-flex

init writes these project-local files without overwriting existing files:

.rstack/
  rstack.config.json   # profile, enabled domains, enabled agents/plugins, dashboard pages
  budget.json          # run/daily/monthly budget, warning/block thresholds, stage budgets
  runs/                # generated SDLC run state

The default profile is business-flex, so npx rstack-agents init is enough for most business teams.

Built-in profiles

Profile	Best for	What it enables
`business-flex`	Client-facing SDLC with product, engineering, QA, security, compliance, docs, and delivery visibility	Product, docs, backend, frontend, QA, security, devops, SDLC domains; Business Flex dashboard page; governed budget policy
`enterprise-webapp`	Enterprise web application delivery	Backend/frontend/QA/security/devops/docs with stronger governance and larger budget defaults
`lean-mvp`	MVPs and prototypes	Product, full-stack, QA, docs with smaller default budgets and fewer selected teams

Examples:

npx rstack-agents init --profile enterprise-webapp
npx rstack-agents init --profile lean-mvp

What the profile changes in real runs

When sdlc_start and sdlc_plan run, RStack reads .rstack/rstack.config.json and .rstack/budget.json. The run then records:

manifest.profile
manifest.workflow
budget policy events
task-level profile
task-level workflow
task-level routing.explanation
task-level budget_envelope

A planned task includes routing proof like this:

{
  "profile": "business-flex",
  "workflow": "production-business-sdlc",
  "routing": {
    "selected_by": "profile-domain-stage-affinity",
    "explanation": [
      "profile:business-flex",
      "workflow:production-business-sdlc",
      "stage-domains:product,docs",
      "enabled-domains:product,docs,backend,frontend,qa,security,devops,sdlc",
      "pipeline-agents:2",
      "routed-specialists:5"
    ]
  },
  "budget_envelope": {
    "currency": "USD",
    "estimated_ai_cost_usd": 1,
    "approval_required_above_usd": 25
  }
}

Edit the profile safely

You can narrow the active teams any time:

{
  "profile": "business-flex",
  "enabled_domains": ["product", "backend", "qa", "security"],
  "enabled_plugins": [
    "business-analytics",
    "backend-development",
    "unit-testing",
    "security-scanning"
  ],
  "dashboard_pages": ["command", "business-flex", "workflow", "agent-work", "approvals"]
}

Then validate the catalog:

npx rstack-agents validate

Business Hub visibility

Open the Business Hub:

npx rstack-agents hub

The Business Flex page shows real .rstack data:

active profile packs
enabled domains
run budget totals
task budget envelopes
agent routing proof
selected specialists

Nothing is fake/demo state. If a panel is empty, the run has not written that profile/routing/budget data yet.

Current limitation

Profiles currently shape planning, routing metadata, budget policy, and dashboard visibility. They do not yet physically prune npm package contents during installation; the package still ships the complete catalog so offline/project-local routing works. The next product step is a registry/pack installer that can copy only selected packs into .rstack/ for stricter enterprise footprints.
