aem-snapshot

aem-snapshot is a skill for Claude Code from easingthemes/dx-aem-flow. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,923 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A preparation workflow that records an Adobe Experience Manager component's current state before development, including its dialog fields, stored properties, and pages where it is used.

In plain words
What is it for?
Inspecting a component before implementation and saving its state for later comparison, when the required AEM and browser services are available.
Why use it?
It creates a baseline for comparing the component after changes and clarifies what can be verified when backend and frontend code are in separate projects.

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

aem-snapshot 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Platform note: This skill uses context: fork + agent: aem-inspector for isolated execution. If subagent dispatch is unavailable (e.g., VS Code Chat), you may run inline but AEM MCP tools (AEM/*, playwright/*) must be available. If they are not, inform the user: "AEM snapshot requires AEM and Playwright MCP servers. Please use Claude Code or Copilot CLI."

Applicability Check (Cross-Repo Dependencies)

Before running, determine if AEM verification is meaningful from the current repo alone.

Read .ai/config.yaml for repos section. If the project uses multiple repos (e.g., separate BE and FE):

Backend-only repos:

  • CAN verify: dialog changes, HTL template changes, model/exporter JSON data, component definitions
  • CANNOT verify: visual rendering that depends on FE code from another repo
  • Skip if changes require FE code from a separate frontend repo

Frontend-only repos:

  • CAN verify: FE-only changes where the BE is already deployed to AEM (styling, JS behavior, FE rendering)
  • CANNOT verify: changes that depend on new BE code not yet deployed
  • Skip if changes require BE code from a separate backend repo not yet deployed to AEM

How to determine: Check .ai/specs/*-*/explain.md or .ai/specs/*-*/research.md for "Repos Required" or "Cross-Repo Scope". If the other repo's changes are a prerequisite, skip.

Task

Capture a baseline snapshot of the AEM component $ARGUMENTS before development begins.

If no component name was provided, check .ai/specs/*-*/research.md or .ai/specs/*-*/explain.md in the project to infer the component name. If unclear, state what you need and stop.

Steps

1. Locate the component

Read .ai/config.yaml for aem.component-path to get the component root (e.g., /apps/myproject/components/content/).

Check if <aem.component-path>/$ARGUMENTS exists on AEM. If not found, write: "Component not found on AEM. Not deployed yet. Nothing to snapshot." and stop. Extract: jcr:title, componentGroup.

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.
