wtf is profile-control-plane?

Profile Control Plane turns a GitHub profile README into a designed visual system instead of a single banner image. You write one YAML file describing your identity and your work, and the tool compiles it into a set of SVG graphics: a hero image, a project map, highlighted flagship work, and an expandable list of other projects. Everything is generated from that one reviewed file, so the same content can be rendered in sixteen different visual styles just by changing the template. Each template produces four SVG files with native dark and light variants that switch automatically depending on the viewer's GitHub theme, plus support for reduced motion for accessibility. The tool then writes out a GitHub-safe README.md with the generated images embedded and metadata properly escaped, and it can optionally include star badges pulled from your repositories. The project ships as a command line tool with init, build, preview, and check commands, and it is described as using typed, fail closed errors, meaning it is built to stop and report a problem rather than produce a broken profile silently. There is no hosted image service, no database, no analytics collection, and no token required just to render your profile, so everything runs and stays on your own machine or CI. It also bundles an agent skill called design-github-profile meant to help with evidence-backed positioning, choosing a profile archetype, visually reviewing the output, and staging changes safely. This suggests the project is built to be used alongside AI coding agents as much as by hand. It is written in TypeScript and licensed under MIT.
