Profile

The Profile tab shows your agent's full configuration — instructions, knowledge, skills, and tools — in one read-only view.

The Profile tab is a read-only reference card for your agent's full configuration. It shows exactly what your agent knows, what it can do, and how each capability is defined.

Everything on this tab is read-only. To change anything — update instructions, add a skill, connect a new tool — open the Chat tab and tell the Riff agent what to update.

What you'll see

Quick links grid — compact rows of chips for the first 8 items across:

  • Tools (wrench icon) — the actions your agent can take

  • Skills (sparkles icon) — reusable capability definitions loaded into the agent

  • Knowledge (book icon) — background context the agent draws on Each row shows "+ more" if there are additional items beyond 8.

Instructions — your agent's full system instructions in markdown. This is the core definition of what your agent does and how it behaves. "No instructions yet" if empty.

Knowledge — expandable list of knowledge entries. Each item shows the entry name and a first-line preview. Click to expand the full content.

Skills — expandable list of skill definitions. Each item shows the skill name and a preview. Click to expand the full skill.

Tools — expandable list with a filter selector (All / Custom / Riff managed). Each item shows the tool name, description, and a "Riff managed" badge where applicable. Click to expand the full tool schema.

Using Profile effectively

Profile is the fastest way to audit your agent's current state without asking it questions. Before a production deployment, check that:

  • Instructions clearly describe the job and the constraints

  • All expected tools are listed and correctly scoped

  • Knowledge entries are current

  • Skills match what the agent needs to do its work
