extract-style-profile

extract-style-profile is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mitodl/agent-kit. It costs 167 tokens per session (2,173 once invoked), scanned C, original, BSD-3-Clause.

An evidence-based report of how a person, team, or repository writes code and communicates, built from Git and GitHub history. It separates older human patterns from changes that appeared after AI assistance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study coding and communication style, compare eras, document team conventions, or create guidance an agent can follow in CLAUDE.md.
Why use it?
It turns scattered commits, pull requests, reviews, issues, and discussions into documented conventions instead of guesses. The evidence helps distinguish consistent practice from accidental patterns.

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 C, and why

extract-style-profile scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 25d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/acquire_repos.py, scripts/build_corpora.py, scripts/common.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Extract a style profile

Turns years of git and GitHub history into rules an agent can follow, with the evidence attached. It works in three modes:

Mode Subject Output
person One human's GitHub login(s) and git identities Their personal coding and communication style
team Several members Shared conventions with agreement levels, enforced vs emergent. No per-person grading
repo One or more repositories, all human authors The codebase's conventions

The process is: collect data with the bundled scripts, cut it into per-era text corpora, run one evidence-bound analysis pass per dimension, spot-check, then synthesize a report. The scripts do the mechanical work; the analysis passes and the synthesis need judgment.

References (read when you reach the step that uses them):

Before starting

Consent and scope. Profiling a person means reading everything they wrote in public and private repos the token can see. Run person mode on yourself, or on someone who asked for it. For team mode, confirm the team knows, and keep the output about conventions: no rankings, no per-person scorecards, no quotes that single someone out.

Cost. A decade-long profile of one active engineer took ~25 minutes of data collection and six parallel analysis passes of ~150-250k tokens each. A single repo over two years is much smaller. Tell the user the rough size (from activity/yearly.md) before launching the analysis passes, and offer to narrow since, orgs, or the dimension list.

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.

extract-style-profile is a skill published in the GitHub repository mitodl/agent-kit (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 167 tokens to every session and 2,173 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-23.
