browse-profiles

Browse all thinking profiles on the user's system - including user-created profiles and installed starters. Optionally install bundled starters that haven't been installed yet. Load Configuration Resolve the user's home directory. echo $HOME Use this path for all file operations below. Never pass `~` to the Read tool. Read the master index file. It looks like you haven't set up `think-like` yet. Would you like to run `/setup-tl` now? Yes No Load All Profile Metadata Load Starter Catalog Read the starter catalog to identify any bundled starters not yet installed. Determine which starters are not present in master-index. Parse Arguments Skip to step 7 (install-starter). Extract the tag value after `--tag`. Store as `filter-tag` for use in step 5. Display All Profiles Show a numbered list of profiles on the system. Only show profiles whose tags array includes `filter-tag`. If no profiles match, tell the user: "No profiles match tag ''."
