What is ase-sync-export?

A specification-export helper that turns a project specification into formats such as JSON, YAML, HTML, PDF, or Markdown.

It chooses project-relative output names, exports the requested formats, and checks the specification for documented problems before finishing.

It provides usable renderings of the specification for tools, sharing, review, or publication.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00051	$0.01292
Opus 5	$0.00026	$0.00646
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00258
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00129

Security

Grade A, and why

ase-sync-export 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 3d 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.

Procedure

1. Parse as the comma-separated list of [<format>:]<file> entries, with one of json, json5, yaml, toon, html, pdf, or md, and a project-relative output file path. Trim every parsed entry. Do not output anything.
2. Determine the default output by calling the ase_artifact_name(filename: "index.html", kind: "spec") tool of the ase MCP server and set to the single entry of its returned name. Do not output anything.
3. If any entry in is - (the standard output sentinel), only output the following and then immediately STOP processing the entire current skill:
4. Report the resolved outputs with the following :
1. Call the ase_specbook_lint() tool of the ase MCP server once and read its returned diagnostics array of { file, line, column, message } objects. Do not output anything.
2. Only output the following (listing one bullet line per diagnostic), give the closing hint by expanding the <ase-tpl-hint/> below it, and then immediately STOP processing the entire current skill:
  - <file/>:<line/>:<column/>: [...]
1. For each in , call the ase_specbook_export(output: "<output/>") tool of the ase MCP server, which infers the format from the [<format>:]<file> entry, writes the rendering to the file, and returns a confirmation text carrying the written byte size plus a notices array of environment notices. Set to the distinct notices of all calls. Do not output anything.
2. Report the exported files with the following , listing one bullet line per written file (with its project-relative path and the format and the byte size):
  - <file/>: [...]
3. Report the environment notices verbatim with the following , listing one bullet line per notice:
  [...]
4. Finally, give the closing hints by expanding the following (which, depending on the configured , may each expand into nothing and hence emit no output at all):

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.
