# spk-doctrine-profile-load

Use this skill when the agent needs a profile outside the runtime loop or the
user asks to adopt a specific role.

## Resolver-Backed Flow

1. Identify the requested profile, action, and active Mission context.
2. Resolve the profile through the CLI:

   ```bash
   spec-kitty agent profile show <profile-id>
   ```

3. Load action-scoped governance:

   ```bash
   spec-kitty charter context --action <action> --json
   ```

4. Apply the resolved initialization declaration, specialization boundaries,
   directive and tactic references, collaboration handoffs, and mode defaults.
5. Return to `spk-run-next` for Mission advancement.

Do not substitute a raw `.agent.yaml` read for resolution. A narrowly scoped
read-only-harness fallback is documented in the reference below.

## Legacy Alias

`ad-hoc-profile-load` is a compatibility alias that points here. This skill
and its reference are the canonical authority.
