What it does
Diff Profile is an agent skill from davekilleen/Dex. Package your entire Dex system into a shareable DexDiff profile so others can replicate how you work. Use when the user says 'share my whole setup', 'publish my profile'. Not for a single workflow; use diff-generate. Not for adopting a whole profile; use diff-adopt-profile.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Your AI Chief of Staff — a personal operating system starter kit that adapts to your role. No coding required.
When your agent uses it
- The user says share my whole setup
- Publish my profile
Example prompts
- “share my whole setup”
- “publish my profile”
- “/diff-profile”
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Scan your entire vault — all custom skills, hooks, extensions
- Build candidate workflow clusters based on shared folders, skill references, hook chains, and observed usage sequences
- Score each candidate for
- Merge, split, or drop candidates using these rules
- Aim for the smallest set of workflows that fully captures the user's differentiated value
- Propose boundaries with names and descriptions
- Before showing the groupings, explain the judgement clearly
- Generate a methodology doc for each retained cluster
- Generate an overview narrative: "How I use Dex as a [role]"
- Save everything to the DexDiff profile draft area in the user's vault.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ab5d6ad. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Diff Profile loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 637 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 637 words (~1,557 tokens).
“In plain English: Scans your entire vault, identifies your strongest custom workflows, groups them at the right level of granularity, and generates methodology documents for each one - plus an overview of how you use Dex. The result is a…”
