The user's professional profile summary.
literal:self
Fixed literal value
Properties
about
string
Optional
Professional summary or about section. Longer-form than Bluesky's description field.
maxLength: 50000 bytesmaxGraphemes: 5000 graphemesavailableFromUtc
integer
Optional
Start of typical working hours in UTC (0-23). Used with availableToUtc for search filtering by work-hours overlap. Set via local-time UI, converted to UTC by the client.
minimum: 0maximum: 23availableToUtc
integer
Optional
End of typical working hours in UTC (0-23). May wrap around midnight (e.g., from 22 to 06 for someone in Asia working US hours).
minimum: 0maximum: 23avatar
blob
Optional
Professional-context avatar image. Overrides app.bsky.actor.profile.avatar when present.
maxSize: 1.0 MBavatarSource
string
Optional
Where the professional-context avatar comes from instead of the avatar blob. 'actor.rpg.sprite' means the user's rpg.actor character: the actor.rpg.sprite record with key self in the same repository, rendered as a picture of the character. Apps that do not support the value, or find no usable record, fall back to avatar, then to app.bsky.actor.profile.avatar. Absent means use avatar. The avatar blob is kept, so removing this field brings it back.
maxLength: 128 bytesactor.rpg.spritecreatedAt
string
datetime
Required
Client-declared timestamp when this profile was originally created.
discoverable
boolean
Optional
Whether the rendered profile page may be indexed by search engines and AI tools. Default true when absent. When false, the rendering app emits noindex directives and excludes the page from any sitemap or push-indexing protocol. Does not affect the public visibility of the underlying ATproto records, which remain readable by any client.
displayName
string
Optional
Professional-context display name. Overrides app.bsky.actor.profile.displayName when present.
maxLength: 640 bytesmaxGraphemes: 64 graphemesfamilyName
string
Optional
Family (last) name. Maps to Schema.org Person.familyName. Optional.
maxLength: 640 bytesmaxGraphemes: 64 graphemesgivenName
string
Optional
Given (first) name. Maps to Schema.org Person.givenName. Optional; if absent, displayName is used for rendering.
maxLength: 640 bytesmaxGraphemes: 64 graphemesheadline
string
Optional
Professional headline (e.g., 'Senior Engineer at Acme Corp'). Distinct from Bluesky's displayName.
maxLength: 1200 bytesmaxGraphemes: 120 graphemesindustries
array
of
ref
id.sifa.defs#industryDomain
Optional
Professional industry/domain pairs. Each entry has a required industry and optional domain refinement. Replaces the former singular industry/domain fields.

BCP 47 language tags indicating the user's primary professional languages.

Optional
Professional location. Sifa enforces ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes at the app layer.
namePronunciation
string
Optional
Free-form phonetic respelling of the user's name (e.g., 'Foo-kuh'). A native professional-profile field with no app.bsky.actor.profile equivalent; extends the name fields rather than overriding anything. Text only; the spoken version lives in namePronunciationAudio.
maxLength: 640 bytesmaxGraphemes: 64 graphemesnamePronunciationAudio
blob
Optional
Short audio clip (a few seconds) of the user saying their own name. Recorded in-app or uploaded. Complements the text respelling in namePronunciation.

Types of opportunities the user is open to. Empty array or omitted means not actively seeking.
maxLength: 10 itemspreferredWorkplace

Optional
Free-form pronouns text. Professional-context override for app.bsky.actor.profile.pronouns.
