Personal context profile
Creed stores your context as a single Markdown profile that AI agents read before they answer. The file is meant to hold durable information such as values, goals, preferences, routines, and constraints.
What Creed is
Creed is a personal context profile for AI agents. It keeps one shared, up-to-date Markdown file with the durable details that help tools answer consistently: who you are, what you are working toward, how you prefer AI to respond, and the boundaries or routines that matter.
The product is built around a simple workflow: agents read your Creed before responding, propose precise updates when they learn something lasting, and either wait for your approval or write directly if you trust them. Creed can be self-hosted for free, or used as a hosted service with sync, backups, and managed storage.
Core capabilities
MCP-based agent connections
Agents can read your Creed over MCP, so the same profile can travel across connected tools instead of living inside one chat app.
Inline diff updates
When an agent learns something durable, it can propose a precise edit as an inline diff. You can review the change before it lands in the profile.
Section scoring and review
Creed scores sections for signal, specificity, and weak spots so the profile stays concise and easier for agents to use.
Hosted sync and managed storage
Hosted plans add cross-device sync, backups, and managed backend, auth, and storage.
Usage credits and BYOK
Hosted plans include monthly usage credits for AI analysis and agent work, with BYOK support if you want model spend on your own key.
Common ways to use Creed
Use the same context across multiple AI tools
Keep one stable profile that tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and ChatGPT can read before they respond, so your preferences and constraints follow you across conversations.
Prime a new agent with your rules
Store working style, routines, boundaries, and preferences in one file so a new agent can start with your actual defaults instead of a generic prompt.
Review and maintain a living context file
Let agents propose diffs when they learn something durable, then approve or reject updates so the profile evolves without becoming a chat transcript.
Share context with a team
Use the Company plan when a team needs a shared Company Creed, member roles, and an activity view instead of separate personal profiles.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- One profile can be read by multiple connected AI tools, which helps avoid re-explaining context in each app.
- Creed is plain Markdown and exportable, so the source emphasizes portability and ownership.
- Agents can suggest durable edits instead of forcing you to rewrite the profile manually every time something changes.
- The profile is designed to stay concise and specific, with scoring that surfaces thin or vague sections.
- Self-hosting is available at no cost, while hosted plans add sync, backups, and managed infrastructure.
Cons
- The source material does not show a complete published integration list beyond MCP connections and GitHub, so platform coverage is still partially documented.
- Hosted plans include usage credits, but the source does not give a full breakdown of how much AI work a given workflow will consume in practice.
- Teams can use Creed through the Company plan, but the page gives limited detail on collaboration workflows beyond shared context, member roles, activity views, and admin controls.
