# Business Flex Profiles

> Install only the RStack teams, plugins, policies, and dashboard views a business team needs.

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:

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

## Quick setup

```bash theme={null}
cd your-project
npm install rstack-agents
npx rstack-agents init --profile business-flex
```

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

```text theme={null}
.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
```

<Info>
  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:

```bash theme={null}
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:

```json theme={null}
{
  "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:

```json theme={null}
{
  "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:

```bash theme={null}
npx rstack-agents validate
```

## Business Hub visibility

Open the Business Hub:

```bash theme={null}
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.
