+## Target: `powerprofile`
+
+Power profile control via `power-profiles-daemon`. Changes stay in sync with DMS UI and trigger the power profile OSD when enabled.
+
+Requires `power-profiles-daemon` to be installed and running. Works on all compositors.
+
+### Functions
+
+**`open`**
+- Show the power profile picker modal
+- Returns: Success confirmation or error if daemon unavailable
+
+**`close`**
+- Close the power profile picker modal
+- Returns: Success confirmation
+
+**`toggle`**
+- Toggle power profile picker modal visibility
+- Returns: Success confirmation or error if daemon unavailable
+
+**`list`**
+- List available profile slugs, one per line
+- Returns: `power-saver`, `balanced`, and `performance` when supported
+
+**`status`**
+- Get the currently active profile slug
+- Returns: `power-saver`, `balanced`, `performance`, or error if daemon unavailable
+
+**`set <profile>`**
+- Set the active power profile
+- Parameters: Profile slug or alias — `power-saver` (`powersaver`, `saver`, `0`), `balanced` (`1`), `performance` (`2`)
+- Returns: Success confirmation or error if profile unknown, unsupported, or write failed
+
+**`cycle`**
+- Cycle to the next available profile in order: power-saver → balanced → performance → power-saver
+- Returns: Success confirmation or error if daemon unavailable or write failed
+
+### Examples
+```bash
+dms ipc call powerprofile status
+dms ipc call powerprofile list
+dms ipc call powerprofile cycle
+dms ipc call powerprofile set balanced
+dms ipc call powerprofile set performance
+dms ipc call powerprofile toggle
+```
