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

apify-reddit-scraper 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 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.

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 — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Reddit Scraper

Turn a plain-language Reddit request into one run of harshmaur/reddit-scraper and hand back structured posts, comments, users or communities. One Actor covers search, subreddit listings, permalinks, user profiles and community metadata, so routing is about picking the right input field, not the right Actor.

Disclosure: the Actor this skill routes to is paid (pay per result) and built by the skill author. Links carry no affiliate parameters.

When to Use

  • The user wants Reddit posts, comments, subreddits or user profiles as structured data.
  • The user wants to monitor a brand, product or competitor on Reddit, or track mentions since a date.
  • The user wants every comment from a thread, or the newest posts from one or more subreddits.
  • The user lost access to the Reddit API or Reddit RSS feeds and needs the same data without an API key.

Example prompts

Prompts this skill handles:

  • "Find every Reddit post from the last 30 days where someone asks for a Notion alternative, and pull the comments."
  • "Scrape the newest 200 posts in r/SaaS and r/startups."
  • "Give me all comments on this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/abc123/..."
  • "Track mentions of Linear and Jira on Reddit since 2026-08-01 and send each hit to my Slack channel."
  • "What has u/spez posted recently?"

Out of scope (the boundary):

  • "Post a reply in r/startups" — this Actor only reads Reddit. Use the Reddit API with the user's own account.
  • "Find Reddit threads about the pain of managing invoices" — Reddit search is literal keyword matching, not semantic. Expand the topic into 3–8 short literal keywords first (see Step 1), then run one search per keyword.

Prerequisites

  • Apify account (sign up); the free plan covers small runs.
  • Authentication via one of:
  • Apify CLI (npm install -g apify-cli), or the Apify MCP server (see "Calling the Actor").

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.
