What happens to my existing settings?

Your existing settings become the "Default" profile automatically. Zero migration effort — everything stays exactly as it was.

Are API keys shared between profiles?

No. Each profile has its own isolated set of API keys stored in VS Code's encrypted SecretStorage. This means you can use your personal Claude key in the "Home" profile and your company's team key in the "Work" profile.

Can I auto-switch profiles when opening a project?

Yes. Bind a profile to a workspace folder — it activates automatically when you open that project. If multiple profiles are bound, you'll see a picker to choose.

How many profiles can I create?

Up to 10 profiles per installation. Profile names must be unique. The Default profile cannot be deleted but can be renamed.

What if I edit settings.json directly?

Those changes will be overwritten on the next profile switch. All profile management should go through the Settings UI or status bar.

Does copying a profile copy API keys?

No. When you copy a profile, all settings are duplicated but API keys are left empty for security. You need to enter them for the new profile.

Review Profiles

Switch between review setups with one click. Each profile stores its own models, API keys, prompts, rules, and repository configs.

The Problem

Different projects need different review setups:

• Your open-source project uses Claude API with relaxed rules
• Your work monorepo uses Claude CLI Agent with strict security scanning
• Your client project uses Gemini because they require Google Cloud

Without profiles, you'd reconfigure settings every time you switch contexts. With profiles — one click from the status bar.

Quick Start

Your existing settings become the "Default" profile automatically — zero migration

Click the profile name in the VS Code status bar (bottom left)

Select "New Profile" from the dropdown

Name it (e.g., "Work"), configure settings

Switch between profiles from the status bar at any time

Status Bar

The current profile is always visible in the VS Code status bar. Click to switch:

Default [active]

Work

Client Project

─────────────

Manage Profiles...

Selecting a profile switches immediately — all settings update, API keys swap, the sidebar reflects the new configuration.

Workspace Auto-Binding

Bind a profile to a workspace folder so it activates automatically when you open that project.

Workspace Bindings:

/Users/you/Projects/work/app [x]

/Users/you/Projects/work/api [x]

[+ Bind current workspace]

• One profile bound → auto-switches silently with a notification

• Multiple profiles bound → shows a picker to choose

• No profile bound → keeps the current profile

API Keys Per Profile

Each profile has its own isolated set of API keys stored in VS Code's encrypted SecretStorage:

Anthropic API key

Google AI (Gemini) API key

OpenAI API key

Bitbucket token

GitLab token

Jira token

Team API key

Use cases: Personal Claude key at home, company team key at work. Different Bitbucket tokens for different organizations. Client API keys separate from your own.
