Target Profiles

Save and reuse target configurations across sessions.

Why Use Profiles?

  • Convenience - Don't re-enter complex configurations
  • Consistency - Same settings for repeated tests
  • Organization - Name targets meaningfully
  • Security - API keys stored locally (not in command history)

Managing Profiles

Save Current Target

akira> target openai https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions -k $KEY -m gpt-4
akira> profile save production-gpt4
[+] Saved profile: production-gpt4
