+# scripts/hire-profile-repos.sh
+#
+# Creates .profile repos for all existing bot agents via hire-an-agent.
+#
+# This script should be run from the disinto repo root:
+#   cd ~/disinto
+#   ./scripts/hire-profile-repos.sh
+#
+# Each command creates a .profile repo with:
+#   - formula.toml (agent's role formula)
+#   - journal/.gitkeep
+#   - knowledge/.gitkeep
+#
+# Prerequisites:
+#   - Forgejo instance running and accessible
+#   - FORGE_TOKEN and FORGE_URL set in .env
+#   - Bot users exist (created separately via disinto init or manually)
+#
+# Order of execution:
+#   1. architect-bot (full hire — needs user + token + .profile)
+#   2. dev-bot (hire --formula formulas/dev.toml)
+#   3. review-bot (hire --formula formulas/review-pr.toml)
+#   4. planner-bot (hire --formula formulas/run-planner.toml)
+#   5. gardener-bot (hire --formula formulas/run-gardener.toml)
+#   6. supervisor-bot (hire --formula formulas/run-supervisor.toml)
+#   7. predictor-bot (hire --formula formulas/run-predictor.toml)
+#   8. vault-bot (no formula — skip or use a placeholder)
+#   9. dev-qwen (hire --formula formulas/dev.toml)
