custom-profile

custom-profile is a skill for Claude Code from facebookresearch/projectaria-plugins. It costs 134 tokens per session (4,621 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for writing custom JSON profiles for Project Aria Gen 2. A profile selects which sensors run and sets their rates, resolutions, and encodings for both recording and live streaming.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating, checking, and uploading custom sensor configurations when the device’s predefined profiles do not meet the project’s needs.
Why use it?
It helps configure the glasses for a specific experiment while making the trade-offs around heat, battery use, and data quality clear.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

custom-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 1mo ago.

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.

Custom Profile Authoring

A profile is JSON that fixes which Aria Gen 2 sensors run, at what rate, resolution, and encoding. One profile serves both recording and streaming; the "recording profile" name is historical.

Default to a pre-defined profile. Write a custom one only when none fits.

Don't write a custom profile when

  • The user is new to Aria.
  • The data goes to MPS — custom profiles risk incompatibility.
  • The data must be shareable or comparable across studies.
  • A pre-defined profile hasn't been tried yet.

1. Start from a device profile

Sources on device: native (firmware), cloud (server-pushed), user (yours — the only writable one).

Pull a base off the device and edit it. Never transcribe one from docs, and never start blank. A pull returns what the firmware actually runs.

Client SDK does list / pull / add / remove. Commands are in the client-sdk skill — don't guess them.

add is non-destructive, takes one profile, and won't overwrite. To iterate: remove, then add.

Profile Use for Notable
profile8 General-purpose recording RGB 10 Hz @ 2560×1920, SLAM 30 Hz, all environmental sensors on
profile9 General-purpose streaming RGB 5 Hz CBR (8 Mbps + blur filter), no GPS / BLE / WiFi / ET cameras
profile10 High-frame-rate RGB RGB 30 Hz @ 2016×1512, otherwise like profile8
mp_streaming_demo Machine-perception streaming demo Streaming-only, lighter encoding, no ALS / baro / mag / GPS / BLE / WiFi

2. Hard rules — breaking these stops the session

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.
