Ad Hoc Profile Load
Load an agent profile on demand to adopt a specific role for the current session. Applies the profile's identity, governance scope, boundaries, and initialization declaration without requiring a running mission. Triggers: "act as the architect", "load the reviewer profile", "switch to implementer", "use the researcher persona", "start a session as planner", "adopt the curator role", "initialize profile", "assume the designer identity". Does NOT handle: mission advancement (use runtime-next), charter interview/generation (use charter-doctrine), or profile creation (use spec-kitty agent profile create).

What this skill does
Ad Hoc Profile Load is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the science-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ad-hoc-profile-load/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Ad Hoc Profile Load Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 153,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
