profile-wizard

A guided intake that collects a learner’s background, work context, goals, and preferred way to learn, then creates a learner-owned profile.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a learner profile or import learning background. It is not for updating an existing profile or tracking concept progress.
Why use it?
It gives a teaching companion enough context to tailor learning paths, labs, or reading plans when the learner is new or little is known about them.

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

profile-wizard 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 3d 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.

profile-wizard

What

Build the learner profile, not the Companion brain. The Companion brain remains curated in brain/.

When

  • The learner is new.
  • The learner wants to import learning context.
  • The Companion lacks enough context to calibrate teaching.
  • A path, lab, or reading plan would be materially better with profile context.

Not For

  • Re-checking an existing profile after several sessions. Use profile-refresher.
  • Tracking concept state. Use progress-tracker.
  • Inferring sensitive behavioural analytics.

Inputs

  • Learner answers to the intake prompts.
  • profile/learner-profile.schema.json.
  • Optional example profile from profile/examples/.

Steps

Ask seven voice-friendly prompts. Each answer should be short enough for a 30-60 second spoken response.

  1. Tell me about your role and what you actually do day to day.
  2. What's your environment: cloud, on-prem, regulated industry, headcount, team shape?
  3. What frameworks do you live with?
  4. Where do you feel stuck or like you're winging it?
  5. What do you wish you understood better?
  6. How do you learn best: reading, building, watching, conversation, teaching back?
  7. How much time can you spend on this in a typical week?

Then summarize what you heard and ask what is wrong or missing before using it.

Validation

  • Output matches profile/learner-profile.schema.json.
  • Sensitive identifiers are absent.
  • The learner can accept, edit, or discard the profile.

Gotchas

  • Do not ask for company names, customer names, secrets, live evidence, vendor names, or sensitive details.
  • If the learner gives sensitive detail anyway, ask for an abstracted replacement.
  • If only one missing profile field matters, ask that field instead of running full intake.

Failure Modes

  • Over-collection: stop when teaching can be calibrated.
  • Silent mutation: never update profile context without showing the change.
  • Brain drift: never write learner facts into brain/.

Examples

  • New learner opens the Companion -> Ask the seven prompts, summarize, then produce a schema-shaped profile.
  • Learner asks for a lab but gives no context -> Ask the minimum profile questions needed before lab-builder.
  • Learner shares a company name -> Ask them to replace it with an industry and company-size description.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.

profile-wizard is a skill published in the GitHub repository grcengineering/companion (32 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 556 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 2026-08-30.
