🚀 Master Profile (PowerShell)

A high-performance, optimized PowerShell profile designed to be the foundation of “The Secret Juice” ecosystem. It focuses on speed, reliability, and automated maintenance.

Profile Template: Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

✨ Features

• ⏱️ Fast Boot: Measures load time and uses caching for directory scans.
• 🧊 Lazy Loading: Only loads heavy modules (like PSWindowsUpdate) when you actually call them.
• 🤫 Silent Startup: Suppresses progress bars and noise during the boot sequence.
• 🛡️ Safe Imports: Gracefully handles missing modules without breaking the terminal.
• 🧊 Minimal Mode: Launch with $env:PWSH_MINIMAL=1 for a raw, high-speed shell.
• 💾 Steroid Auto-Load: Automatically detects and loads any *-enhance.ps1 script from your Steroids folder.
• 🛠️ Built-in Maintenance: One-command module installation and updates.
• 📊 Stats Dashboard: View load times and version info on startup.

🚀 Installation

1. Locate your profile

Run this in PowerShell to find your profile path:

$PROFILE

2. Backup existing profile

If you already have a profile, back it up using our helper (if installed):

profile backup

Or manually copy it to a safe location.

3. Apply the Master Profile

Copy the content of Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 into your $PROFILE path.

4. Configuration

Ensure the paths in the profile match your installation:

• Steroids Path: Defaults to $HOME\Documents\PowerShell\Steroids.
• Theme Path: Defaults to $env:USERPROFILE\Documents\PowerShell\highContext.omp.json.

🛠️ Maintenance Commands

The Master Profile includes global functions to keep your environment healthy:

• Install-PwshModules: Installs the recommended suite of modules for the best experience.
• Update-PwshModules: Updates all installed modules to their latest versions.
• Profile-Stats: Shows detailed load time information.
• __LogOk/__LogWarn: Internal logging for debugging startup issues.

🧪 Minimal Mode

Need maximum speed for a quick task?

$env:PWSH_MINIMAL=1; pwsh

This skips the entire theme and module loading sequence for an instant-on experience.
