USER.md

USER.md is the profile’s durable user-context file.

~/.duckagent/profiles/<name>/USER.md

Use it for stable user preferences:

  • Preferred answer style.
  • Project conventions that follow the user across workspaces.
  • Repeated constraints.
  • Background information the agent should remember for this profile.

New profiles create USER.md as a blank editable file. DuckAgent does not guess who the user is by default.

Example:

The user prefers English documentation.
The user values production-grade architecture and clear file responsibilities.
Avoid vague first-version thinking.

Do not put secrets in USER.md.
