user-preferences

user-preferences is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from X-School-Academy/skill-pilot. It costs 58 tokens per session (854 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for remembering a user's corrections, preferences, and recurring workflow instructions. It helps an AI assistant decide which requests should become lasting working rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a user says to do something differently in the future, avoid a tool, or follow a standing process.
Why use it?
It prevents the assistant from repeating mistakes or forgetting preferences about tools and ways of working.

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

user-preferences 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 16d 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.

AI Builder - User Preferences

Capture user corrections and turn them into persistent working rules for future tasks.

When to Use This Skill

  • The user corrects a previous action
  • The user says "please use X", "do not use Y", or "next time do Z"
  • The user says to do something this way in the future
  • The user rejects a tool choice and specifies the preferred one
  • The user adds a standing workflow rule that should be remembered

Your Roles in This Skill

  • Project Manager: Identify whether the user statement is a durable preference or a one-off request
  • Backend Developer: Update the persistent preference record accurately and minimally
  • Technical Writer: Rewrite the preference into a short, reusable rule without losing meaning

Role Communication

As an expert in your assigned roles, you must announce your actions before performing them using the following format:

As a {Role} [and {Role}, ...], I will {action description}

This communication pattern ensures transparency and allows for human-in-the-loop oversight at key decision points.

Instructions

Follow these steps in order.

Step 1: Detect a corrective preference

  • Look for user phrases that correct your prior behavior or specify a preferred future behavior
  • Treat direct corrections as high priority, including:
    • "please use ..."
    • "do not use ..."
    • "next time ..."
    • "in the future, please ..."
    • "please do this in the future ..."
    • "you should ..."
    • "No, use ..."
  • If the user is only making a one-time request for the current task and does not imply future reuse, do not record it unless they ask

Step 2: Apply the correction immediately

  • Change your current action to follow the user correction in the same turn whenever feasible
  • Do not defend the prior choice if the new instruction is valid and lower risk
  • If the correction conflicts with safety, sandbox, or project constraints, explain the constraint and record the preference with that limitation

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.
