Legacy alias for resolver-backed profile loading. An agent skill from spec-kitty/spec-kitty.

  • Tasks that involve GraphQL
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ad Hoc Profile Load is an agent skill from spec-kitty/spec-kitty. Legacy alias for resolver-backed profile loading. Use the canonical spk-doctrine-profile-load skill for identity, boundaries, and governance. Triggers: "act as the architect", "load the reviewer profile", "switch to researcher", "use the planner role", "adopt a profile".

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering GraphQL. The repository describes itself as: Spec-Driven Development with organizational governance. Specs tell AI agents what to build; Charter governs how they build it. Git-native missions, enforceable workflows, and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve GraphQL

Example prompts

  • “act as the architect”
  • “load the reviewer profile”
  • “switch to researcher”
  • “/ad-hoc-profile-load”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e533131. 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

Ad Hoc Profile Load loads about 306 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 78 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~306

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.

argument-hint
<profile-id>

ad-hoc-profile-load

This is the compatibility alias for spk-doctrine-profile-load. The canonical skill owns the mechanics; do not maintain a second profile-loading procedure here.

Canonical Route

Resolve the requested profile and load action-scoped governance:

bash
spec-kitty agent profile show <profile-id>
spec-kitty charter context --action <action> --json

Apply the resolved initialization declaration, specialization boundaries, directive and tactic references, collaboration handoffs, and mode defaults.

Read ../spk-doctrine-profile-load/references/profile-load-mechanics.md for the complete resolver-backed flow, including the explicitly degraded fallback for a read-only harness that cannot invoke the CLI.

For a one-shot governed request outside a Mission, use:

bash
spec-kitty dispatch "<request>" --profile <profile-id>
