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 | $0.00029 | $0.01265 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00633 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00253 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00127 |
Grade A, and why
auto-research 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 7d 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.

Auto-Research Skill
Overview
When implementing tasks, Claude Code can encounter uncertainties — design choices, algorithm details, API usage, or best practices. This skill provides an explicit-consent research path, presents findings, and waits for user approval before writing code.
The skill supports web research and an optional ChatGPT consultation. It never sends conversation context, files, browser state, or credentials to a third party without the user's explicit approval of the exact, redacted text.
When to Use This Skill
- User asks a question where multiple valid approaches exist
- Claude is uncertain about algorithm details or API usage
- Design/architecture choices need comparison
- The user explicitly asks to search the web or consult ChatGPT and approves the proposed query
How It Works
Step 1: Propose the research boundary — State the source to use, the exact query or redacted prompt, whether any local/workspace text would leave the machine, and the likely cost. Wait for the user to approve that exact boundary.
Step 2: Research — After approval, use web search or a browser session the user has
explicitly selected and authorized. Use a pinned, user-configured browser automation
connector; do not install packages automatically, use @latest, or access browser cookies,
other tabs, saved passwords, or sessions.
Step 3: Present — Distill findings into concise options with sources, presented to the user.
Step 4: Await Approval — Do NOT write code until the user says "go ahead" or picks an option.
Step 5: Implement — Once approved, execute with confidence.
Explicit ChatGPT Consultation
Do not treat ?, ??, or another shorthand as consent. First propose a minimal prompt,
for example: 请评估这个已脱敏的方案的正确性、完整性和可改进之处：<text>.
Explicitly identify every piece of text that would be sent. Only after the user confirms
the exact prompt may you open the selected ChatGPT session, submit that prompt, and present
the response. Do not include conversation history by default.
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.

auto-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills (46,288 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,265 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.
