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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00042 $0.02969
Opus 5.5 $0.00017 $0.01188
Sonnet 5.5 $0.00008 $0.00594

Security

Grade A, and why

apify-tiktok-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 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 — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TikTok Scraper

Answer a TikTok question with one run of harshmaur/tiktok-scraper. One Actor reads profiles, hashtags, search, video links, sounds, comments and followers, so the job is to pick the input lists, set the per-target count, and keep paid add-ons off unless the user asks for them.

Disclosure: the Actor is paid per result and is built by the skill author. Links carry no affiliate parameters.

When to Use

Use for TikTok video, creator, hashtag, comment and follower research, or exports with engagement statistics.

Example prompts

Prompts this skill handles:

  • "Get the 30 newest videos from @khaby.lame and @mrbeast with view and like counts."
  • "Top TikTok videos about iced matcha from the past week, sorted by likes."
  • "Export 200 comments with replies from this video: https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123..."
  • "Is this creator brand safe? Check their last 20 videos and tell me which ones look sponsored."
  • "Videos under #booktok from September with at least 50,000 likes, exact tag only."

Out of scope (the boundary):

  • "Post, like or comment on TikTok" — the Actor only reads public data.
  • "Scrape TikTok Shop products" or "TikTok ads" — use a TikTok Shop or ads Actor from the Apify Store.
  • "Show me @user's stories" or a private account — not visible without a login, so the Actor cannot read them.

Prerequisites

  • Apify account (sign up). AI add-ons need a paid Apify plan; on the free plan they are ignored.
  • Authentication via one of:
  • Apify CLI (npm install -g apify-cli), or the Apify MCP server (see "Calling the Actor").

Workflow

Step 1 — Pick the input lists

You can mix several lists in one run.

The user gives you Field Notes
Usernames or profile links profiles With or without @. Sort with profileSorting (latest, popular, oldest). Set excludePinnedPosts: true so "latest" is really latest.
Hashtags hashtags With or without #. TikTok mixes in videos without the tag; hashtagMatch: "exact" drops them, and dropped videos are not charged.
Keywords searchQueries searchSection: "" or "/video" for videos, "/user" for accounts. Videos: videoSearchSorting (MOST_RELEVANT, MOST_LIKED, LATEST) and videoSearchDateFilter (ALL_TIME, PAST_24_HOURS, PAST_WEEK, PAST_MONTH, LAST_3_MONTHS, LAST_6_MONTHS).
Video or photo post links, vm.tiktok.com links, video IDs postURLs Add scrapeRelatedVideos: true for the videos TikTok recommends next.
Sound links or IDs musics Videos that use the sound.
Any other TikTok link startUrls The Actor works out the type.

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.
