Braindb Custom Profile

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve LLM wikis

Example prompts

• “/braindb-custom-profile”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Docker
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Prefer add over replace. add keeps the base prompt — and all the machine
2. 2Never break the machine contract (the writer body is parsed for these)
3. 3Cite or (unknown) — never invent. A structured field gets a value and its
4. 4Make the clustering entity salient in the dropped file. Facts cluster into a wiki by

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99cd121. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Bash

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships script files (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl
  • docker

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  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

Braindb Custom Profile loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 702 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~61

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

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

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.

description

How to author a BrainDB custom profile — prompt add/replace fragments and an optional keyless ingestor — that shapes wiki naming/structure and feeds a custom ingestion source, with zero effect on defaults when inactive.
