Generate developer behavioral profile and create Claude-discoverable artifactsKey capabilities
- →Generate developer behavioral profile from session analysis
- →Create Claude-discoverable artifacts like `USER-PROFILE.md`
- →Personalize agent responses based on profile
- →Handle consent gate before session analysis
- →Orchestrate profile generation and result display
- →Generate `gsd-dev-preferences` skill config
How it works
The skill generates a developer behavioral profile from session analysis or a questionnaire, then creates artifacts like `USER-PROFILE.md` and skill configurations to personalize agent responses.

About this skill
<codex_skill_adapter>
A. Skill Invocation
- This skill is invoked by mentioning
$gsd-profile-user. - Treat all user text after
$gsd-profile-useras{{GSD_ARGS}}. - If no arguments are present, treat
{{GSD_ARGS}}as empty.
B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping
GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:
Parameter mapping:
header→headerquestion→question- Options formatted as
"Label" — description→{label: "Label", description: "description"} - Generate
idfrom header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores
Batched calls:
AskUserQuestion([q1, q2])→ singlerequest_user_inputwith multiple entries inquestions[]
Multi-select workaround:
- Codex has no
multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.
Execute mode fallback:
- When
request_user_inputis rejected or unavailable, activate TEXT_MODE: append--textto{{GSD_ARGS}}so the workflow's built-in text-mode branching takes over. Present everyAskUserQuestioncall as a plain-text numbered list, then stop and wait for the user's reply. Do NOT pick a default and continue (#3018 / #3808). - You may only proceed without a user answer when one of these is true:
(a) the invocation included an explicit non-interactive flag (
--autoor--all), (b) the user has explicitly approved a specific default for this question, or (c) the workflow's documented contract says defaults are safe (e.g. autonomous lifecycle paths). - Do NOT write workflow artifacts (CONTEXT.md, DISCUSSION-LOG.md, PLAN.md, checkpoint files) until the user has answered the plain-text questions or one of (a)-(c) above applies. Surfacing the questions and waiting is the correct response — silently defaulting and writing artifacts is the #3018 failure mode.
C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping
GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:
Direct mapping:
Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")→spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")Agent(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")→spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")Task(model="...")→ omit.spawn_agenthas no inlinemodelparameter; GSD embeds the resolved per-agent model directly into each agent's.tomlat install time somodel_overridesfrom.planning/config.jsonand~/.gsd/defaults.jsonare honored automatically by Codex's agent router.- Resolved
reasoning_effort="low|medium|high|xhigh"(xhighis a GSD/Codex tier, not a generic runtime enum) → passreasoning_efforttospawn_agentwhen the runtime/tool supports it. Omit missing, empty, inherited, or unsupported values; do not invent one-off effort literals in workflow prose. fork_context: falseby default — GSD agents load their own context via<files_to_read>blocksTask(isolation="worktree")/Agent(isolation="worktree")→ no direct Codex mapping. Codexspawn_agentdoes not create or bind a git worktree automatically. Workflows that require this isolation must fail closed or use an explicit manual worktree protocol before spawning (#3360).
Spawn restriction:
- Codex restricts
spawn_agentto cases where the user has explicitly requested sub-agents. When automatic spawning is not permitted, do the work inline in the current agent rather than attempting to force a spawn. - In some Codex sessions, multi-agent tooling can be deferred. If
spawn_agentis not currently visible, discover tools first viatool_searchbefore defaulting to inline execution.
Parallel fan-out:
- Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs →
wait(ids)for all to complete
Result parsing:
- Look for structured markers in agent output:
CHECKPOINT,PLAN COMPLETE,SUMMARY, etc. close_agent(id)after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>
Routes to the profile-user workflow which orchestrates the full flow: consent gate, session analysis or questionnaire fallback, profile generation, result display, and artifact selection. </objective>

<context> Flags from {{GSD_ARGS}}: - `--questionnaire` -- Skip session analysis entirely, use questionnaire-only path - `--refresh` -- Rebuild profile even when one exists, backup old profile, show dimension diff </context> <process> Execute the profile-user workflow end-to-end.The workflow handles all logic including:
- Initialization and existing profile detection
- Consent gate before session analysis
- Session scanning and data sufficiency checks
- Session analysis (profiler agent) or questionnaire fallback
- Cross-project split resolution
- Profile writing to USER-PROFILE.md
- Result display with report card and highlights
- Artifact selection (dev-preferences, AGENTS.md sections)
- Sequential artifact generation
- Summary with refresh diff (if applicable)
When not to use it
- →When `spawn_agent` is not permitted by the user or tooling
- →When automatic spawning is not permitted, forcing inline work
- →When `spawn_agent` does not create or bind a git worktree automatically for isolation
Limitations
- →Requires explicit user request for sub-agents when using `spawn_agent`
- →Requires user answers for plain-text questions unless non-interactive flags are set
How it compares
This skill automates the creation of a personalized developer profile and configures AI agents to adapt to it, providing a tailored interaction experience rather than a generic one.
