create-profile

A skill that creates a community AI style profile inspired by publicly visible aspects of a developer's technical work. It does not claim to be that person or represent their approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate a profile for pairwith from a GitHub handle, public URLs, or notes about the developer's style.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to describe a developer's observable working style while keeping clear boundaries around identity and endorsement.

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

create-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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

create-profile

Generate a profiles/<handle>.md style profile ready to submit to pairwith, following the project's policy.

What this skill generates (and what it does not)

This skill creates a community AI style profile — a set of prompt instructions inspired by publicly observable aspects of a developer's technical work. A profile is not the real person, does not represent them, and is not endorsed by or affiliated with them unless explicitly stated and documented.

Before generating anything, read or re-read:

  • TEMPLATE.md — the required structure and mandatory non-impersonation header.
  • PROFILE_POLICY.md — eligibility, consent tiers, naming, content, and safety rules.
  • DISCLAIMER.md — the overall project posture.

If you cannot read these files (e.g. running outside the repo), apply the principles summarized below from memory.

Invocation

/create-profile [github-handle] [urls...] [file-path]

Examples:

/create-profile
/create-profile caarlos0
/create-profile caarlos0 carlosbecker.com linkedin.com/in/caarlos0
/create-profile merencia merencia.com ./notes-about-my-style.md
/create-profile caarlos0 https://github.com/caarlos0/dotfiles/blob/main/skills/pair-with-caarlos0/SKILL.md

Step 1 — gather inputs

Parse the invocation arguments:

  • GitHub handle: the first word if it doesn't start with http, /, or .. If not provided, ask: "What's the GitHub handle for this profile?"
  • URLs: any argument starting with http or a bare domain. Only accept URLs that are clearly public (personal sites, blogs, LinkedIn public pages, public talks, public articles, public repositories).
  • File path: any argument starting with /, ./, or ending in .md or .txt. Read the file contents. Only use content that is plainly public or provided by the user about themselves.

If no URLs and no file are provided after getting the handle, ask: "Any useful public links or a reference file? (personal site, public LinkedIn, blog, public talks, existing public style guide, etc.) — or just press enter to generate from public GitHub alone."

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.

create-profile is a skill published in the GitHub repository merencia/pairwith (7 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,081 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
