Profile not found: static import missing for

Error message

Profile not found: static import missing for '${name}'. Valid profiles: ${RULE_PROFILES.join(', ')}

What it means

getRulesProfile looks up a statically imported profile object (e.g. cursorProfile, claudeProfile) from the profiles module using the key `${name}Profile`. If the profile object is absent — meaning no static import exists for that rule name — it throws with the list of valid profiles. This guards against dynamic or typo'd profile names silently producing undefined config.

Solutions

1. Use one of the valid profile names listed in the error message (e.g. 'cursor', 'claude', 'gemini', 'opencode')
2. If adding a new profile, import it statically in the profiles module so <name>Profile exists
3. Validate the profile name against RULE_PROFILES before calling getRulesProfile

Example fix

// before
const profile = getRulesProfile(userInputRules); // 'cursorr' typo
// after
import { RULE_PROFILES } from './constants.js';
const name = RULE_PROFILES.includes(userInputRules) ? userInputRules : 'cursor';
const profile = getRulesProfile(name);

import { RULE_PROFILES } from './constants.js';
if (!RULE_PROFILES.includes(name)) {
  throw new Error(`Unknown rule profile '${name}'. Valid: ${RULE_PROFILES.join(', ')}`);
}

const isValidProfile = (name) => RULE_PROFILES.includes(name);

try {
  const profile = getRulesProfile(name);
} catch (err) {
  if (err.message.startsWith('Profile not found')) {
    console.error(`Unsupported profile '${name}'. Use one of: ${err.message.split('Valid profiles: ')[1]}`);
    process.exitCode = 1;
  } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling getRulesProfile('aider') or any name whose `${name}Profile` key is not exported/imported; typos like 'curosr'; profile removed/renamed in the profiles module while callers still pass the old name; dynamic user input mapped straight into the name argument.

Common situations: Users typing an unsupported profile in a --rules flag before CLI validation; custom forks adding a profile to RULE_PROFILES but forgetting the static import; version mismatch where a profile was renamed between releases.
