Change what shows on your public profile

You set up the profile six weeks ago with the default showcase — bench/squat/deadlift PRs. The cut's been the real story since, and you'd rather lead with your current streak and last month's volume than with three PRs that haven't moved. You tell the agent what to swap on the hero card.

What the agent needs to hear

Behind your sentence, the agent works backwards to two pieces: which axis to change — showcase metrics, section visibility, or timeline detail — and the specific change — add, remove or swap a metric, toggle a section on or off, raise or lower the detail level.

« Swap the bench PR for my current cut streak » carries both in one sentence: the axis is showcase metrics, the change is a one-for-one swap. The agent renders the new profile on a preview card before saving, so you read what strangers will read before anything goes live.

The three customization axes

Showcase metrics are the up-to-six tiles on the profile hero. You pick from current PRs on specific lifts, weekly volume, current streak, recent PRs, and body composition deltas. Any of the six slots can hold any of those — « show my squat PR, my deadlift PR, current routine streak, last month’s volume » fills four slots and leaves the rest empty until you say otherwise.

Section visibility toggles whether each profile section is publicly readable: training timeline, body data, nutrition adherence, PRs. Each toggles independently, so hiding body data leaves PRs and timeline alone.

Timeline detail level chooses how much of each session strangers see. Minimal exposes session names and dates only. Standard adds the headline numbers — total sets, volume, duration. Maximum exposes the full session: every exercise, every set, every weight. Three steps, one knob.

What changes propagate vs what stays

Every customization is immediate and visible — the public URL reflects the change the moment you confirm the preview card. No staging, no delay.

Past sessions aren’t rewritten. Raising the timeline detail level doesn’t add new data; it exposes more of what was always logged. Sessions from before the change gain the expanded view from this point forward, because their underlying data was there all along — you just chose to show more of it.

Hiding a section is retroactive — the section’s history disappears from the public read the moment you toggle it off, with no grace period. Toggle visibility intentionally, the way you’d lock a door. The username and core profile metadata aren’t touched by this recipe; those are setup-time decisions, edited separately when needed.

When the agent gets it wrong

The preview card catches three patterns. Wrong metric on the showcase — you said cut streak, the agent picked plan-adherence streak: « cut streak, not plan adherence ». Section visibility flipped opposite to intent — you said hide body data, the agent set it visible: « the other way — hide body data ». Timeline detail at the wrong level — you said minimum, the agent went standard: « minimum, not standard — strangers don’t need set-by-set ». One sentence per correction, the card updates, you confirm.

What makes the customization worth doing

Three things decide whether tuning the profile tells the right story: the showcase metrics match what’s actually moving — static PRs from six months ago read as a stagnant athlete, current streak plus last month’s volume read as an active one — the visibility matches your comfort with being seen — body data is hidden by default for a reason, opt in only when you mean to be visible there — and the timeline detail matches the audience you imagine — minimal for casual sharing, standard for fitness peers, maximum only when you’re inviting full scrutiny. The profile is a curated read, not an automatic export — the customization is what makes it yours.
