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 5.1 | $0.00074 | $0.01359 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00679 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00272 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00136 |
Grade A, and why
ase-docs-distill 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 6d 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 — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

$ARGUMENTS
Procedure
-
Resolve the document source from using probe-as-file-first semantics:
-
Only output the following and then STOP immediately:
-
Treat the entire as a file path. If it resolves to a readable file, read that file and capture its content together with its line numbers into , and set to the file path.
-
Treat verbatim as pasted text, capture it into numbering its lines from 1, and set to empty (so locations are cited as
:Ls-Le). -
Only output the following and then STOP immediately:
You MUST NOT output anything else in this STEP 1.
-
-
Read and distill it into its key points.
-
Extract the document's key points, where each point is one atomic, self-contained claim, decision, or fact - not a section-level summary that blends several claims.
-
For each point, determine:
-
A on a 0-10 salience scale reflecting its importance-to-the-reader (impact, centrality, consequence)
- not its position in the document.
-
A one-line that justifies why the point earns that .
-
A citing the exact source line range as
<origin/>:Ls-Le(for a file) or:Ls-Le(for pasted text), whereLsis the start line andLeis the end line. -
A verbatim snippet, copied exactly from (but with all newlines replaced with spaces and multiple spaces collapsed into a single space), that proves the point. The cited snippet MUST prove the point verbatim. If it does not, re-investigate and re-cite correctly.
-
-
Sort the points by from highest to lowest. Within the same rank, keep the order of first appearance in .
-
Apply the top-bound as an upper bound only: keep at most
min(<getopt-option-top/>, number of salient points)points and never pad the list with filler to reach the bound. If is non-numeric or less than or equal to 0, use the default 5 instead.
You MUST NOT output anything in this STEP 2.
-
-
For each distilled point, emit the following , where is its salience rank, is the atomic claim, is its line-range citation, is the verbatim proving snippet, and is the one-line salience justification:
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-docs-distill is a skill published in the GitHub repository rse/ase (47 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,359 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
