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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Rogue Agent · line 244 Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00077 | $0.03987 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00031 | $0.01595 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00797 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00399 |
Grade A, and why
ase-meta-workflow 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 1mo 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.

-
The following is a reference skill demonstrating the usual layout of a generated workflow skill -- its frontmatter, its
ase util metapreamble, and the indentation of its<flow>:IMPORTANT: is authoritative for the usual layout only. The syntax of every control construct is defined exclusively by the
Control Flow Constructssection above, and its frontmatter and preamble show theclaudeflavor only -- the actual frontmatter fields and the actual preamble are dispatched on as defined by theGenerated Skill Contractbelow. -
The following is the ASE workflow graph, carrying one
<from/> -> <to/>transition per line, where each side is either anase-xxx-xxxskill or an upper-case logical state (START,SKETCH,APPROACHES,TASK,ARTIFACT,END):The tells which ASE skill sequences are usually meaningful. It guides the workflow, but it does not restrict it: a workflow may contain arbitrary non-ASE actions, and it may contain ASE transitions the does not list.

The following is the accumulated help of all ASE skills -- the concatenation of every skill's
help.mdfile -- and is the sole source for the options and arguments of every<skill/>invocation (for anase-xxx-xxxskill) you emit:
Generated Skill Contract
A generated skill is a regular skill of the current agent tool which is independent of the ASE plugin installation path. It therefore MUST strictly follow this contract:
-
Frontmatter:
name: <new-skill-name/>and adescriptionof one to three sentences summarizing the workflow and its trigger phrases.The remaining frontmatter fields are tool-specific, because every agent tool accepts its own field set and its own
allowed-toolsgrammar, and hence have to be dispatched on :
What ships with it
3 files 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-meta-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository rse/ase (75 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 3,987 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
