A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
A cross-platform plugin for AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenClaw, GitHub Copilot CLI, Windsurf, Cline) that reads your conversation history, extracts behavioral patterns, and generates personalized system prompt additions — making the assistant progressively better suited to how you work.
All processing happens locally. No data ever leaves your machine.

|---|---|---|
vardoger setup <platform> | Register vardoger with a platform (cursor, claude-code, codex, openclaw, copilot, windsurf, cline). | |
vardoger status [--platform X] [--json] | Report whether each personalization is fresh or stale. | |
vardoger prepare --platform X [--batch N] [--synthesize] | Produce the batched prompts used by the AI-driven skill pipeline. | |
vardoger write --platform X | Read synthesized personalization from stdin and write it to the platform's rules file (supports YAML-frontmatter confidence metadata). | |
| `vardoger feedback accept\ | reject --platform X [--reason TEXT]` | Record whether you kept or rejected the last generation. reject auto-reverts to the prior generation. |
| `vardoger compare --platform X \ | --all [--window DAYS] [--json]` | Compare heuristic conversation-quality metrics before vs. after the latest personalization. |
.cursor/rules/, .claude/rules/, AGENTS.md, etc.)First run vs. incremental runs. By default vardoger does not apply a time window — the first run reads your full local history (that is when the signal is richest and a windowed default would silently drop older sessions you never get a second chance to feed in). After that, a per-conversation checkpoint store at~/.vardoger/state.jsonensures every subsequent run only reprocesses new or changed conversations, so refreshes stay fast. If you have very large local history and want to cap the first-run cost, pass--since DAYS(e.g.vardoger prepare --platform cursor --since 90); use--fullto force a full re-crawl that bypasses the checkpoint.
