agentille-init
Skill1 starsChanged 20 days agoMITView on GitHub
Optional setup for agentille. Asks up to 5 skippable questions (name/role, delivery style, tone, when to ask first, never-do list) and merges the answers into ~/.agentille/profile.json so agents sound like you. /agt works without it. Runs only when the user types /agentille-init; model invocation is disabled.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
agentille-init — optional voice profile
/agt runs fine with no profile at all. This skill only makes agents sound like you. It runs when the user types /agentille-init; never auto-trigger.
Steps
- Read
~/.agentille/profile.json(cat ... 2>/dev/null). Absent → start from{}. Present but not valid JSON → tell the user to fix or delete it, and STOP; never overwrite a corrupt file. - Ask the questions below in one message. Each shows its current value (or the default) in brackets; an empty reply or "skip" keeps it.
- name / role — who are you, in a few words?
[current or skip] - deliveryStyle —
direct|detailed|step-by-step|short-paragraphs[direct] - tone —
peer-to-peer|mentor|formal|blunt|casual[peer-to-peer] - preTaskQuestioning —
never|ambiguous-only|always[ambiguous-only] - neverDo — things agents must never do, comma-separated
[none]
- name / role — who are you, in a few words?
- Merge, never replace. Read-merge-write: load the profile, set only the fields the user answered, and write it back (2-space indent, trailing newline). Keep every other key untouched: unknown keys,
projects,routing,display,thinkingDepth. Never write the file wholesale from scratch. Skipped questions write nothing. - Print the path and the resulting values in one short block. Re-running asks again with the saved values as defaults.
Profile fields
| Field | Meaning | Default |
name, role | who the agents work for | unset |
deliveryStyle | direct / detailed / step-by-step / short-paragraphs | direct |
tone | peer-to-peer / mentor / formal / blunt / casual | peer-to-peer |
preTaskQuestioning | never / ambiguous-only / always | ambiguous-only |
neverDo | list of hard prohibitions, passed to every agent | [] |
thinkingDepth | always / complex-only / quick; edit by hand | complex-only |
routing | {autoFable, maxFablePerRun, fableWeeklyCeiling, maxRunUsd, stopAtCeiling, stopAtWeeklyPct, advisorOnOpus}; edit by hand | built-in |
display | {deck: auto|off, focus: true|false, highlight: on|all|off, band: on|off, statusLine: on|off, mascot: on|off, rows: on|off, spinner: on|off}; edit by hand | {deck: off, focus: true, highlight: off, band: on, statusLine: on, mascot: on, rows: on, spinner: on} |

Old profiles keep working: fields nobody reads are ignored, and there are no migrations.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
