What is generate-profile?

A maintainer tool that rebuilds installation folders for several coding-agent tools from one shared source and their configuration profiles. It checks the source, generates the files, and verifies the result.

Use it to regenerate and verify install trees after changing a skill, agent, or template.

It removes the need to update each tool's installation copy by hand. It also helps keep generated copies aligned with the canonical source.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add AndreVianna/aid-methodology --skill generate-profile

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AndreVianna/aid-methodology

Made for: Claude Code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00060	$0.02521
Opus 5	$0.00030	$0.01260
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00504
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00252

Security

Grade A, and why

generate-profile scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/aid_profile.py, scripts/build-shortcut-skills.py, scripts/render_lib.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AID Install-Tree Generator

Maintainer-only skill — outside canonical/. This is the lone exception to the canonical-source pattern. It lives at .claude/skills/generate-profile/ only and is NOT in canonical/skills/. Edits to this skill are made directly to its files. Reason: it generates the install trees, so it cannot itself be generated from canonical without a chicken-and-egg deployment problem.

This skill regenerates the five install trees (claude-code/, codex/, cursor/, copilot-cli/, antigravity/) from the single canonical source (canonical/) and the per-tool profiles (profiles/).

When to run: any time a canonical skill, agent, or template is edited, and before committing changes to the install trees. Also run to verify the install trees are in sync with canonical after any manual edits.

Safety boundary: the generator only writes to and deletes files it previously emitted (recorded in profiles/{tool}/emission-manifest.jsonl). User-created files inside install trees are never touched.

Pre-flight Checks

Before executing any state, verify:

Python 3.11+ is available:
```
python --version
```
Required for tomllib (stdlib from 3.11). Abort with clear error if unavailable.

canonical/ directory exists at the repo root:

ls canonical/agents/ canonical/skills/ canonical/aid/templates/ canonical/rules/

At least one profile TOML exists:
```
ls profiles/
```
The repo is a git working tree (for the REPORT git diff --stat):
```
git rev-parse --git-dir
```

If any pre-flight check fails, print an error and stop.

State Detection

Parse arguments from the invocation context:

--tool {claude-code|codex|cursor|copilot-cli|antigravity} → set SELECTED_PROFILES to the single named profile. If not provided, SELECTED_PROFILES = [claude-code, codex, cursor, copilot-cli, antigravity] (all profiles found via ls profiles/*.toml).
--dry-run → set DRY_RUN=true. In dry-run mode, renderers write to a temporary scratch directory; no changes are made to the install trees. A diff report is printed at the end instead of a live manifest write.

Files

What ships with it

9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

generate-profile is a skill published in the GitHub repository AndreVianna/aid-methodology (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 2,521 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
