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.

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 | $0.00023 | $0.02757 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.01378 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00551 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00276 |
Grade A, and why
astropy 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 2d 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.

Astropy
Overview
Astropy is the core Python package for astronomy, providing essential functionality for astronomical research and data analysis. Use astropy for coordinate transformations, unit and quantity calculations, FITS file operations, cosmological calculations, precise time handling, tabular data manipulation, and astronomical image processing.
When to Use This Skill
Use astropy when tasks involve:
- Converting between celestial coordinate systems (ICRS, Galactic, FK5, AltAz, etc.)
- Working with physical units and quantities (converting Jy to mJy, parsecs to km, etc.)
- Reading, writing, or manipulating FITS files (images or tables)
- Cosmological calculations (luminosity distance, lookback time, Hubble parameter)
- Precise time handling with different time scales (UTC, TAI, TT, TDB) and formats (JD, MJD, ISO)
- Table operations (reading catalogs, cross-matching, filtering, joining)
- WCS transformations between pixel and world coordinates
- Astronomical constants and calculations
Quick Start
import astropy.units as u
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
from astropy.time import Time
from astropy.io import fits
from astropy.table import Table
from astropy.cosmology import Planck18
# Units and quantities
distance = 100 * u.pc
distance_km = distance.to(u.km)
# Coordinates
coord = SkyCoord(ra=10.5*u.degree, dec=41.2*u.degree, frame='icrs')
coord_galactic = coord.galactic
# Time
t = Time('2023-01-15 12:30:00')
jd = t.jd # Julian Date
# FITS files
data = fits.getdata('image.fits')
header = fits.getheader('image.fits')
# Tables
table = Table.read('catalog.fits')
# Cosmology
d_L = Planck18.luminosity_distance(z=1.0)
Core Capabilities
1. Units and Quantities (astropy.units)
Handle physical quantities with units, perform unit conversions, and ensure dimensional consistency in calculations.
Key operations:
- Create quantities by multiplying values with units
- Convert between units using
.to()method - Perform arithmetic with automatic unit handling
- Use equivalencies for domain-specific conversions (spectral, doppler, parallax)
- Work with logarithmic units (magnitudes, decibels)
What ships with it
7 files 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.

astropy is a skill published in the GitHub repository sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills (46,184 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 2,757 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
