aident-skill

aident-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Aident-AI/aident-skill. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,620 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of aident-skill, MIT.

A connection layer for AI agents and external apps such as Gmail, Slack, Linear, Notion, and Google Sheets. It lets an agent use those services and keeps a record of its actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent must work with external apps, APIs, account integrations, stored credentials, web research, or actions such as reading and updating service data.
Why use it?
It avoids building and maintaining a separate connection for every app an agent needs to use, while providing an audit history of activity.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aident-skill scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

81% identical to aident-skill — 43 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Aident For Agents

This is the primary public Aident router in Aident-AI/aident-skill. The current public operating surface is Aident Loadout.

Setup And Updates

If the user asks to set up, install, migrate, or update Aident for an agent environment, fetch and follow:

https://aident.ai/SETUP.md

Do not create, edit, scaffold, validate, or inspect a local SKILL.md file unless the user explicitly asks to author a local skill.

After the Aident CLI is installed, use its verified updater:

aident update

The updater installs one canonical global copy, repairs detected filesystem-backed agent hosts, and reports project copies that may shadow it. Use aident update --project only when the user explicitly wants clean project copies migrated too. Account-level skill surfaces such as Claude Cowork or Claude chat still require their native skill manager.

Route The Task

Use the smallest relevant reference file:

User intent Reference
External apps, SaaS platforms, APIs, account integrations, Vault, action execution, audit history, Firecrawl, Exa, Fal, Gmail, Slack, Linear, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot. references/loadout.md
User asks how to configure Aident MCP in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, VS Code, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, or another MCP client. references/mcp.md
Host cannot use the CLI and needs raw HTTPS/OpenAPI operations. references/api.md
Authentication, missing integrations, unavailable tools, connection timeouts, or credential-file problems. references/troubleshooting.md
User asks to report a Loadout product problem from the current trace. Report A Loadout Bug section below

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
