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

ase-meta-config 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.

$ARGUMENTS

Procedure

  1. Determine Operation:

    1. Set , with any leading and trailing whitespace stripped. Split into whitespace-separated tokens, honoring single and double quotes (a quoted token is one token, with its surrounding quotes removed). Set to the first token, lower-cased, and to the list of the remaining tokens. If is empty, set (none) and to the empty list. Inherit the always existing from the current context. Do not output anything.

    2. Determine the target scope chain:

      Do not output anything.

    3. You MUST NOT use Bash, Read, Write, Edit, or any other filesystem-touching tool anywhere in this skill. Every configuration access is performed exclusively through the ase_config_* tools of the ase MCP server. Do not output anything.

  2. Dispatch Operation:

      • If the entries array is empty, output the following :

      • Else output the following , where each , , and correspond to one entry of the entries array, in the given order:

        Key Value Scope
        <key/> <entry-scope/>
        [...] [...] [...]
      • If is empty, the key is not set at all. Output the following :

      • Else set to the JSON-decoded and output the following :

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.
