Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00060 | $0.05392 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.02696 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.01078 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00539 |
Grade A, and why
ase-code-edit 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 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.
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.

Procedure
This skill is plan-less: it never composes or persists a task plan
and MUST NOT call ase_task_save(...). Instead, it applies the
requested edit in place, so the implementing state requires Edit
and Write to modify the affected artifacts. Every modification MUST
stay restricted to the artifacts the edit actually demands.
On finishing the state <arg1/>, only output the following ,
which shows the established and , where a still
empty or renders as (none):

HOW:
-
Initialize:
-
Set (with any leading and trailing whitespace stripped), set and (both empty), and set (empty). Do not output anything.

Iterate:
Perform the states (1) querying, (2) discovering, (3) grilling, (4) implementing, and (5) verifying below as one iteration. Without
--loopperform exactly one iteration. Under--looprepeat the iteration until the querying state receives aSTOP SKILLresult. Do not output anything in this item. -

In the following, you MUST NOT use your built-in tool! Instead, you MUST just show a custom dialog according to the expanded
custom-dialogdefinition. You MUST closely follow this definition. Its only answer option is the fixedSTOP SKILL, so the user normally answers with the edit query in one free-text reply: -

What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

ase-code-edit is a skill published in the GitHub repository rse/ase (47 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 5,392 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
