AAS Core is a local control plane for coding agents that lets them search a large catalogue of skills, choose a stack, validate it, and create a reproducible plan. It is used to assemble and review agent workflows through its CLI, local MCP server, catalogue, plugins, and Workbench. The catalogue add-ons provide the skills, plugins, bundles, and workflows that AAS Core helps agents select and validate.
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.

- NVIDIA SkillSpector warn
SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
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 →
- medium Rogue Agent · line 33 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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 | $0.00047 | $0.01568 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00784 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00314 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00157 |
Grade A, and why
ai-engineering-toolkit 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 6d 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 opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
⚠️ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY This skill is for educational purposes or authorized security assessments only. You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited.
Mandatory confirmation gate Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target:
- Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource.
- Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope.
- Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect.
- Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation.
Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Prefer a sandbox, disposable VM, or controlled lab.
AI Engineering Toolkit
Overview
A collection of 6 structured, expert-level workflows that turn your AI coding assistant into a senior AI engineering partner. Each skill encodes a repeatable methodology — not just "ask AI to help," but a step-by-step decision framework with quantitative scoring, checklists, and decision trees.
The key difference from ad-hoc AI assistance: every workflow produces consistent, reproducible results regardless of who runs it or when. You can use the scoring systems as team baselines and write them into CI/CD pipelines.
When to Use This Skill
- Use when evaluating or optimizing LLM system prompts before production deployment
- Use when designing a RAG pipeline and need structured architecture decisions (not just boilerplate code)
- Use when planning token budget allocation across context window zones
- Use when running pre-launch security audits on AI agents
- Use when building evaluation frameworks for LLM applications
- Use when thinking through product strategy before writing code
How It Works
Skill 1: Prompt Evaluator
Scores prompts across 8 dimensions (Clarity, Specificity, Completeness, Conciseness, Structure, Grounding, Safety, Robustness) on a 1-10 scale with weighted aggregation to a 0-100 score. Identifies the 3 weakest dimensions, generates targeted rewrites, and re-evaluates. Supports single prompt, A/B comparison, and batch evaluation modes.
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.

ai-engineering-toolkit is a skill published in the GitHub repository sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills (46,230 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,568 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-05.
