+`openspec config profile` starts with a current-state summary, then lets you choose:
+- Change delivery + workflows
+- Change delivery only
+- Change workflows only
+- Keep current settings (exit)
+
+If you keep current settings, no changes are written and no update prompt is shown.
+If there are no config changes but the current project files are out of sync with your global profile/delivery, OpenSpec will show a warning and suggest running `openspec update`.
+Pressing `Ctrl+C` also cancels the flow cleanly (no stack trace) and exits with code `130`.
+In the workflow checklist, `[x]` means the workflow is selected in global config. To apply those selections to project files, run `openspec update` (or choose `Apply changes to this project now?` when prompted inside a project).
+
+**Interactive examples:**
+
+```bash
+# Delivery-only update
+openspec config profile
+# choose: Change delivery only
+# choose delivery: Skills only
+
+# Workflows-only update
+openspec config profile
+# choose: Change workflows only
+# toggle workflows in the checklist, then confirm
 ```

+- **AND** project files are out of sync with the current global profile/delivery
+- **THEN** display a non-blocking warning that global config is not yet applied to this project

+
+#### Scenario: Apply prompt is gated on actual changes
+

+- **AND** current directory is an OpenSpec project
+- **THEN** prompt `Apply changes to this project now?`
+- **AND** if confirmed, run `openspec update` for the current project
+
 ### Requirement: Key Naming Convention
 
 The config command SHALL use camelCase keys matching the JSON structure.
