## What it does

emulo examines local session logs from Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, OpenCode, and Google Antigravity. It turns them into a `you.md` profile containing working rules, code and design preferences, writing habits, and failure patterns to avoid. Each rule comes with dated excerpts from actual sessions, so the profile is grounded in prior decisions rather than questionnaire answers.

The skill is intended to load this profile before an agent starts a task. To expose it through MCP, run `uvx emulo mcp`; the server provides `load_emulo_profile` for the `work`, `design`, `write`, and `video` domains. It returns an active profile or a recovery instruction when none is active. Running `emulo --install you.md --target agents --repo .` writes the profile into the project's `AGENTS.md`. That file is commonly committed and shared, so review its session excerpts and keep it out of version control when they should remain private.

Session mining happens locally, and the profile stays in the user's own file. The skill does not upload the mined data. The project previously used the name `ditto-profile` and was renamed Emulo in `v0.5.0`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ohad6k/emulo --skill clawhub -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/clawhub/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/clawhub/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ohad6k/emulo --skill clawhub -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/clawhub/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ohad6k/emulo --skill clawhub -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/clawhub/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install ohad6k/emulo clawhub
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/clawhub/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ohad6k/emulo --skill clawhub -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/ohad6k/emulo --path compat/clawhub
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/clawhub/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ohad6k/emulo --skill clawhub -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/ohad6k/emulo/tree/HEAD/compat/clawhub/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- extract coding rules from previous AI sessions
- carry personal design preferences into agent tasks
- record past failure patterns to avoid repeating them
- load a domain-specific profile for work, design, writing, or video

## Example prompts
- Load my emulo profile before changing the code and follow the rules from my earlier sessions.
- Use my `design` profile when revising this interface.
- Load my `write` profile and match the writing style captured from my previous sessions.

# Emulo profile

Load the user's Emulo working profile: rules mined from their own coding
sessions, each with dated quotes. Read it before working on their task.

Emulo mines the user's own AI coding sessions (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI,
OpenCode, Google Antigravity) into a `you.md` working profile: their laws, their
taste, their voice, and the failure modes they want you to protect them from.

## Use this before working on their task

If the profile is not installed yet, this writes it into the project's `AGENTS.md`
(it prints where it wrote and returns nothing to read). Do not run it yourself before
you name the exact folder to the user and get their yes. Tell them it writes the whole
profile, including quotes from their own sessions, into that AGENTS.md, which is usually
committed and shared, so suggest keeping it out of version control:

```
emulo --install you.md --target agents --repo .
```

Or call it through the MCP server:

```
uvx emulo mcp
```

The MCP server exposes one tool, `load_emulo_profile`, which returns the
profile for the domain you are about to work in (`work`, `design`, `write`, or
`video`). It serves only a profile activated by Emulo's agent mining flow; with
none active, it returns a recovery instruction.

## What you get

The profile is mined from the user's real sessions, not a questionnaire. It
carries:

- **Laws** they never want broken, each with receipts from real sessions
- **Taste** in design and code, including what they reject on sight
- **Voice** for anything written in their name
- **Failure modes** to protect them from

## Privacy

Mining runs locally against session logs already on the machine. The profile is
the user's own file. Nothing is uploaded by this skill.

Previously published as `ditto-profile`. The project was renamed to Emulo in
v0.5.0; see <https://github.com/ohad6k/emulo/releases/tag/v0.5.0>.
