What it does

Profile is an agent skill from ccusage/ccusage. Profiles ccusage performance. Use when a CLI command is slow, when checking that an optimization actually helped, when comparing a branch against main, or when reading a captured CPU profile.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/rust.md`).

“/profile”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2fd844. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- node
- nix
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Profile loads about 430 tokens when it runs, and up to ~940 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~430
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~940

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 190 words (~430 tokens).

“Nearly all runtime cost lives in the Rust binary. references/rust.md covers release builds, the branch-vs-main worktree setup, deterministic measurement, JSON parity, and reproducing the CI performance comment.”

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ccusage/ccusage --skill profile -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/profile, .gemini/skills/profile, .github/skills/profile and .opencode/skills/profile in your project.

What does Profile need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Profile needs the command-line tools its instructions call (node and nix).

Does Profile access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

How many tokens does Profile use?

About 430 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 510 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Profile?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Profile: Codex Profiles (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars), Profiling Slow API Endpoints (PostHog/posthog-foss, 721 stars), Collectors Snmp Profiles (netdata/netdata, 81k stars) and Competitor Profiling (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
