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 | $0.00056 | $0.02054 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01027 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00411 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00205 |
Grade A, and why
ase-task-condense 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

Determine Task:
-
Set initially, with any leading and trailing whitespace stripped. Inherit the always existing from the current context. Inherit the always existing from the current context. Do not output anything.

React on task id:

Determine Operation:

Determine the current task plan content:
Set (remember the loaded plan content for the strictly-shorter check in step 3).

Condense Task Plan:
-
Apply the condense ruleset to , producing a shorter . The goal is to make the plan require as little reading as possible while all semantics remain fully preserved and unchanged. Honor the following ruleset strictly:
-
Preserve-exactly (never alter): the plan structure (the frontmatter block with its
Id:,Created:,Modified:,Status:,Properties:, andKind:keys, the headings#/##, all three## CONTEXT,## CHANGES, and## VERIFICATIONsections, and the- **<aspect/>**:bullet labels), all code spans and code blocks, technical terms, file paths, identifiers, numbers, severities (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/ACCEPTED), and the*<aspect/>*emphasis highlighting convention. -
Compress free-text only (the
**WHAT**/**WHY**prose and each bullet's<specification/>text):- Drop filler ("just", "really", "basically", "simply"), pleasantries, and hedging ("I think", "maybe", "perhaps").
- Use shorter synonyms and common abbreviations.
- Use
→for causality and-for short subsequent facts. - Drop articles ("a", "an", "the") and replace conjunctions with short separate clauses where this shortens the text without introducing ambiguity.
- Re-wrap the shortened free-text to the ~100-character- per-line convention of the plan , but never break a line inside an inline code span.
- Merge genuinely-redundant bullets (the same aspect restated) and drop pure duplication -- but only when truly redundant; never lose a distinct aspect.

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-task-condense is a skill published in the GitHub repository rse/ase (47 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 2,054 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.

weekly-digests
Generate a serial week-by-week narrative digest of a project's full claude-mem timeline. Splits the timeline into per-ISO-week files, then runs one consecutive subagent per week — each receiving the prior week's carry-forward block — to produce one chapter per ISO week of data. Use when asked for "weekly digests"…
