About the project

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.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

altorank 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AltoRank

AltoRank (https://altorank.co) is open-source SEO content software. Its tools come from the altorank MCP server. You can audit whether search engines and AI assistants can read a site, read an account, create drafts, move planned keywords, edit a draft by find-and-replace, and pause or resume a workspace. A person decides what publishes. There is no approve, hold or delete tool and no tool that publishes a draft, and you must not look for a way around that. The one publish-side tool, altorank_retry_publish, only re-runs a failed publish of an article a person already approved.

When to Use

  • Use when the user asks about SEO or AI-search (GEO) readiness of a site, Search Console numbers, keyword research, or drafting articles for their site with AltoRank.
  • Use when the user wants missing JSON-LD proposed for a page, or a readiness report for any public domain.
  • Requires an AltoRank account (hosted, or a self-hosted install) and the altorank MCP server connected.

Connect once

If the altorank tools are missing, tell the user:

  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http altorank https://app.altorank.co/api/mcp, then /mcp → altorank → Authenticate (OAuth in the browser)
  • Claude Code plugin (bundles this skill and the server): claude plugin marketplace add AltoRank/altorank, then claude plugin install altorank@altorank
  • Other MCP clients: add a Streamable HTTP server at https://app.altorank.co/api/mcp and sign in with OAuth. Self-hosted installs use their own origin.

Two kinds of tools

  • Any domain: altorank_check_readiness, altorank_propose_schema, altorank_generate_machine_readable, altorank_readiness_report. Work on any public domain, not only the person's own sites.
  • Workspace tools: everything else. They act on the person's AltoRank account. Write access is opt-in on the OAuth consent screen; a forbidden error means they did not grant it. unauthorized means the connection expired and the person has to reconnect.

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.
