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 B, and why

aap-config-as-code scanned grade B with 2 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 10d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

AAP Configuration as Code Skill

Manage Ansible Automation Platform configuration as infrastructure-as-code using Red Hat Communities of Practice infra.aap_configuration collection and related tools.

What is AAP Configuration as Code?

AAP Configuration as Code enables declarative management of Ansible Automation Platform components through version-controlled YAML definitions instead of manual GUI configuration.

Key Benefits:

  • Version control - Track all configuration changes in Git
  • Repeatability - Deploy identical configurations across environments
  • Disaster recovery - Rebuild AAP from configuration files
  • Multi-environment - Manage dev/qa/prod with shared configurations
  • Automation - CI/CD integration for config deployment
  • Audit trail - Complete history of configuration changes
  • Collaboration - Team-based configuration management

What can be managed:

  • Organizations, teams, users, roles
  • Credentials and credential types
  • Projects and inventories
  • Job templates and workflows
  • Execution environments
  • Instance groups and service clusters
  • Notification templates and schedules
  • Applications (OAuth2)
  • Event-driven automation configurations
  • Private Automation Hub content

What ships with it

4 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.

Changes

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.
