What it does

Ditto is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Use when a user asks to mine or update a private, evidence-backed work profile from local Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, or OpenCode sessions.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A user asks to mine
  • Update a private
  • Evidence-backed work profile from local Claude Code
  • OpenCode sessions

Example prompts

  • “/ditto”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve an installed runtime
  2. Show the read-only mining plan
  3. Prepare the approved run
  4. Mine and validate evidence
  5. Verify and report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Ditto loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 810 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

Ditto

Overview

Ditto mines only the user's words from real local coding-agent session logs and turns repeated, supported patterns into private work, design, and writing profiles. It keeps dated session receipts, rejects authored rules and memory as source evidence, and requires approval before model-backed mining begins.

This standalone skill routes a compatible, already-installed Ditto runtime. Native namespaced routing is available through the upstream Ditto plugin.

When to Use This Skill

  • Use when the user explicitly asks to set up, run, update, re-mine, or deepen Ditto.
  • Use when the user wants an agent profile derived from real coding-session history rather than a questionnaire or rules file.
  • Use when native ditto:mine is unavailable and the user already has a compatible Ditto runtime installed.

Do not trigger this skill merely because personalization might be useful. Mining requires an explicit user request.

How It Works

1. Resolve an installed runtime

Ask the user for the path to an existing, trusted Ditto runtime, or use the native upstream plugin when it is already installed. Retain the exact Python 3 executable path as PYTHON3, the runtime path as DITTO_PY, and its matching MINING_PROMPT.md path. Confirm the installed version and source before use.

Do not download or install executable code as part of this skill. If Ditto is not installed, stop and direct the user to the upstream installation guidance; installation is a separate, explicit decision.

2. Show the read-only mining plan

Mine only real user-authored sessions. Never synthesize a profile from AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, memory files, rules files, or a typed self-description.

Run the full-history quality-default preflight:

bash
"$PYTHON3" "$DITTO_PY" plugin preflight

Show the user the valid session count, post-dedupe source tokens, selected source tokens, cache hits, planned worker calls, and planned reducer calls. Wait for explicit approval of this displayed plan before any model-backed work.

If the user explicitly asks for a quick preview, add --preview and say exactly:

Quick preview creates a starter profile from selected history, not the full profile.

Never present preview as the default or as equivalent to the full-history result.

3. Prepare the approved run

Retain the displayed approval_hash, then prepare with the exact approved mode. For the full-history plan, run:

bash
"$PYTHON3" "$DITTO_PY" plugin prepare --approved-plan-hash HASH

For an approved quick-preview plan, preserve preview mode explicitly:

bash
"$PYTHON3" "$DITTO_PY" plugin prepare --preview --approved-plan-hash HASH

If the hash changes, show the new plan and obtain approval again. Retain the returned run_id, assigned segment and report paths, and pack_path.

4. Mine and validate evidence

For every uncached selected segment, run one worker over only that segment and the per-segment contract in the resolved MINING_PROMPT.md. Cache each JSON report with plugin cache-report and stop on rejection.

Run one strongest-available reducer over only the validated reports and reducer contract. Write the complete pack to pack_path, validate it, and activate only the validated pack with plugin activate.

5. Verify and report

Run plugin status, render the profile card, and report:

  • active version and core profile path
  • active and inactive domains
  • selected source tokens and actual worker/reducer passes
  • cache reuse
  • card path
  • any exact targeted-deepen instruction

If the current host already has the native Ditto plugin, do not create a competing direct profile installation.

Examples

Full-history setup
text
User: run ditto on my coding history
Agent: resolves the pinned runtime, shows the read-only full-history plan, and
waits for explicit cost approval before starting any mining workers.
Explicit quick preview
text
User: give me a cheap ditto preview first
Agent: runs preflight with --preview, labels it as a starter profile, and waits
for approval of the displayed preview plan.

Best Practices

  • Keep raw sessions, caches, receipts, and generated profiles private by default.
  • Report exact observed counts and paths; never estimate provider billing or coverage.
  • Preserve the approval hash and mode through the complete run.
  • Stop on validation failure instead of activating a partial profile.
  • Share the card or a short trait, not the full private profile or receipt appendix.

Limitations

  • Ditto models working behavior; it does not make the underlying model smarter.
  • Sparse or repetitive histories can leave design or writing domains inactive.
  • Provider system prompts, tool traffic, and billing overhead are outside Ditto's exact token accounting.
  • Quick preview has lower recall than the full-history quality default.
  • Automatic work, design, and writing routing requires the upstream native plugin.

Security & Safety Notes

  • This skill does not download executable code; it requires an existing trusted Ditto installation.
  • Extraction, redaction, caches, and generated profiles stay local. Selected redacted text is processed by the model provider the user chooses.
  • Redaction is best-effort. Tell the user to inspect private output before sharing it.
  • Never upload session logs or full profiles to a third party without explicit user approval.
  • Installation itself schedules no mining model calls; every prepared mining mode still requires approval of its displayed plan.

Common Pitfalls

  • Problem: No eligible sessions are found.

    Solution: Report the supported source locations that were checked and ask whether the user has retained or exported session history.

  • Problem: The approval hash changed.

    Solution: Do not reuse the old approval. Show the updated plan and obtain approval again.

  • Problem: A cached or reduced report fails validation.

    Solution: Stop, preserve the failure evidence, and never activate the incomplete pack.

  • @agenttrace-session-audit - Use for cost, latency, failure, and health analysis of coding-agent sessions.
  • @agent-memory - Use for explicit persistent knowledge storage rather than evidence-based profile mining.
