What is ase-sync-import?

An import helper that brings information from files, web addresses, or pasted text into project artifacts such as specifications, code, documentation, tasks, or infrastructure plans.

It interprets foreign sources and creates or updates the selected artifact types to reflect the imported information.

It reduces the manual work of copying outside information into the project's structured documents and keeping them aligned.

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	$0.00077	$0.02165
Opus 5	$0.00039	$0.01082
Sonnet 5	$0.00015	$0.00433
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00216

Security

Grade A, and why

ase-sync-import 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 4d 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. The recognized artifact kinds are the six tokens TASK, SPEC, CODE, DOCS, INFR, and OTHR. Parse as the comma-separated kind list. Upper-case and trim every parsed kind token. Do not output anything.
2. Only output the following and then immediately STOP processing the entire current skill:
3. If any token in is not one of the six recognized kinds, only output the following (with set to the first offending token) and then immediately STOP processing the entire current skill:
4. Only output the following and then immediately STOP processing the entire current skill:
5. Report the resolved target and source hint with the following :
1. Do not output anything in this STEP 2.
2. Interpret the as the description of the foreign sources to import from. The foreign sources are external to the ASE artifact sets and may be local files or directories, remote URLs, pasted text passages, or references to other documents.
3. Read or fetch all foreign sources named by the : read local files and directories via the Read tool, and fetch remote URLs via the available web tools. Build a precise understanding of the information the foreign sources represent.
1. For all kinds in except TASK, call the ase_artifact_list(kind: [ ... ]) tool of the ase MCP server once, passing the lower-cased kind tokens, and read the returned artifacts array of { kind, files } objects to obtain the project-relative file list per kind. The TASK kind is not resolvable via ase_artifact_list (task plans are managed by the ase_task_* tools), so resolve and read it via the ase_task_id and ase_task_load tools instead. Read all existing target artifacts to understand their current state.
2. Internalize and honor the artifact-format conventions:
  - the artifact-set meta information (ase-format-meta.md),
  - the SPEC format, i.e. the SpecBook models and formats plus the SpecBook schema configuration of the project (ase-format-spec.md),
  - the TASK format (ase-format-task.md).

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-sync-import is a skill published in the GitHub repository rse/ase (47 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 2,165 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.
