Is there a way of converting a profile to a recipe, itโs sounds like **_Inception_**
would be cool ๐

@kmf right now we do not have such a tool available. it is an interesting idea. this can get very complicated very quick, so it is definitely not an easy task to achieve

It could only support a certain subset of the resources, eg. user
```
control 'Leonardo DiCaprio' do
impact 1.0
title 'Check if Leonardo DiCaprio exists'
desc 'check if the leo user exists'
describe user('leo') do
it { should exist }
its('uid') { should eq 1001 }
its('gid') { should eq 1001 }
its('shell') { should eq '/bin/csh' }
end
end
```

Love the idea, but nothing is planned so far.
