init-profile

Copies one of the curated presets in profiles/ into the user's ~/.neurodock/profile.yaml, with safeguards against overwriting an existing profile and a follow-up validate-profile invocation.

Available presets (see profiles/README.md):

profiles/adhd.yaml
profiles/audhd.yaml
profiles/burnout-recovery.yaml
profiles/dyslexic.yaml
profiles/dyspraxia.yaml
profiles/educator-semester.yaml
profiles/low-stimulation.yaml
profiles/ocd.yaml
profiles/student-university.yaml
profiles/profile.minimal.yaml (no neurotype-specific defaults)

Design rationale: docs/decisions/0004-profile-schema-design.md — every preset embodies "lived-experience-led defaults" rather than starting from an empty file.

When to use

First-time setup on a new device.
Resetting a profile that has drifted into an unreadable state.
Trying a different preset (e.g. switching from adhd to audhd after a diagnostic update).

What it does

Resolves the target path: NEURODOCK_PROFILE env var, else ~/.neurodock/profile.yaml.
If a profile already exists at the target, refuses to overwrite unless --force is passed. With --force, copies the prior file to ~/.neurodock/profile.yaml.bak.<timestamp> first.
Copies the chosen preset verbatim, then runs profile validate against the new file as a self-check.
Prints the resolved path and a one-line confirmation of which preset was used.

How to invoke

pnpm --filter @neurodock/cli run --silent dev profile init --preset adhd

Force overwrite (with backup):

pnpm --filter @neurodock/cli run --silent dev profile init --preset audhd --force

Custom destination:

pnpm --filter @neurodock/cli run --silent dev profile init --preset ocd --path ./my-profile.yaml

Output format

preset: profiles/adhd.yaml
target: ~/.neurodock/profile.yaml
backup: ~/.neurodock/profile.yaml.bak.20260523T091422  (only with --force)
validate: ok

Exit 0 on success, 1 if the target exists and --force was not passed, 2 if validation failed against the freshly copied preset (treat as a bug in the preset itself).

Limitations

The profile init subcommand is not yet present in packages/cli/src/commands/profile.ts at time of writing. Until it lands, manually copy with cp profiles/<preset>.yaml ~/.neurodock/profile.yaml and then run the validate-profile skill. Track this as a CLI gap.
Presets are snapshots, not live links. Editing a preset after init does not update the user's profile.
No prompting / interactive picker — pass --preset explicitly.

Voice

Treat the install as a quiet operation. A noisy welcome banner is the opposite of what an ND user needs at minute zero with a new tool. One line in, one line out.
