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: 3 findings, 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 →

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 | $0.00046 | $0.03075 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01537 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00615 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00308 |
Grade A, and why
api-onboarding scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.
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.

Reducing Time-to-First-API-Call
When to Use
Use this skill when you need reduce time-to-first-API-call (TTFAC) by optimizing every step of the developer onboarding journey. This skill covers authentication simplification, sandbox environments, interactive documentation, and identifying and eliminating common failure points. Trigger phrases: "API...
The time between a developer discovering your API and successfully making their first call is the most critical window in your entire developer journey. Every minute of friction here costs you potential users.
Overview
Time-to-First-API-Call (TTFAC) is the single most predictive metric for developer adoption. Developers who succeed quickly become active users. Developers who struggle leave—often silently.
This skill covers:
- Measuring and optimizing TTFAC
- Removing authentication friction
- Creating effective sandbox environments
- Building interactive documentation
- Identifying and fixing common failure points
Before You Start
Review the developer-audience-context skill to understand:
- What's the typical technical sophistication of your developers?
- What tools and environments do they commonly use?
- What alternative products have they tried? What was their experience?
- What's their urgency level? (Evaluating vs. building immediately)
Your onboarding should meet developers where they are.
Understanding TTFAC
What TTFAC Measures
Time-to-First-API-Call measures the elapsed time from a developer's first interaction to their first successful API response. This includes:
- Discovery time: Finding the "Get Started" content
- Signup time: Creating an account
- Credential time: Obtaining API keys
- Setup time: Installing SDK, configuring environment
- Execution time: Running first request
- Success time: Receiving successful response
TTFAC Benchmarks
| Rating | TTFAC | Developer Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent | < 5 min | "This is amazing" |
| Good | 5-15 min | "Pretty straightforward" |
| Acceptable | 15-30 min | "Got there eventually" |
| Poor | 30-60 min | "This is frustrating" |
| Failing | > 60 min | "I'll try something else" |
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.

api-onboarding is a skill published in the GitHub repository sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills (46,133 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 3,075 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
