aither-retrieval

aither-retrieval is a skill for Claude Code from Aitherium/awdk. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,856 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A retrieval service that combines several ways to find information, including meaning-based search, PostgreSQL text search, fuzzy matching, graph traversal, code-graph lookup, and scoped memory lookup. It returns one ranked set of results through one service endpoint.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps agents retrieve relevant documents, database text, related code, connected records, and selected memories.
Why use it?
Information may be spread across documents, databases, code relationships, and stored agent memory. Combining these searches gives an agent one place to query them.

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

aither-retrieval scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
