| Ask | Run |
|---|---|
| "what profiles do I have?" / "who am I logged in as?" | boxel profile list |
| "log in" / "add a new account" | boxel profile add (interactive — preferred) |
| "switch to my staging account" | boxel profile switch <username-or-fragment> |
| "remove that old profile" | boxel profile remove <profile-id> |
| "import from my old .env" | boxel profile migrate |
Profiles use the Matrix ID format: @username:domain.
@username:boxel.ai@username:stack.cards@username:<env-slug>.localhostswitch accepts a partial match — boxel profile switch sarah is enough if there's only one profile matching sarah.
For automation, set BOXEL_PASSWORD in the environment instead of passing -p:
BOXEL_PASSWORD="..." boxel profile add -u @sarah:boxel.ai -n "Sarah - Prod"
-p works but exposes the password in shell history and process listings. Prefer BOXEL_PASSWORD.
For ephemeral environments (PR previews, branch deploys), BOXEL_ENVIRONMENT derives URLs from a slug:
BOXEL_ENVIRONMENT=my-branch boxel profile add -u @sarah:my-branch.localhost
# → matrix at http://matrix.my-branch.localhost
# → realm-server at http://realm-server.my-branch.localhost/
Override individually with --matrix-url / --realm-server-url if needed.
