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.

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 | $0.00224 | $0.02674 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00112 | $0.01337 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00045 | $0.00535 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00267 |
Grade C, and why
aspire scanned grade C 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 5d 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.

Aspire
Use this skill when the task involves an Aspire distributed application — operating the
AppHost or its resources through the Aspire CLI rather than falling back to ad-hoc dotnet,
docker, or shell workflows.
Detection
Activate when ANY signal is present. Use the Scope column to decide whether to route to
the bootstrap skills (aspire-init / aspireify) or to a runtime sub-skill:
| Signal | How to Detect | Confidence | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| C# AppHost | .csproj containing Aspire.AppHost.Sdk |
✅ Definitive | AppHost present → orchestration / deployment / monitoring |
| File-based C# AppHost | apphost.cs with #:sdk Aspire.AppHost.Sdk |
✅ Definitive | AppHost present → orchestration / deployment / monitoring |
| TypeScript AppHost | apphost.ts file in project |
✅ Definitive | AppHost present → orchestration / deployment / monitoring |
| Aspire config without AppHost | aspire.config.json present and no AppHost above |
High | Bootstrap → aspireify (skeleton dropped, needs wiring) |
| Aspire config with AppHost | aspire.config.json present and AppHost above |
High | AppHost present → orchestration / deployment / monitoring |
| Aspire settings | .aspire/ directory present |
High | AppHost present (usually) |
| Generated TS modules | .aspire/modules/ directory present |
High | AppHost present (TS) |
| Service defaults | Aspire.ServiceDefaults in project references |
Medium | AppHost present |
No AppHost, no aspire.config.json |
None of the above and user asks to add Aspire | n/a | Bootstrap → aspire-init (skeleton drop) |
Default Workflow
- Bootstrap branch — if no AppHost exists in the repo, route to
aspire-initfor the skeleton drop. If an AppHost stub exists but is unwired (no resources declared), route toaspireify. Only continue with the steps below once a wired AppHost is present. - Confirm workspace is Aspire — identify the AppHost
aspire start(oraspire start --isolatedin worktrees or whenever shared local state is risky)aspire wait <resource>before interacting with any resource- Inspect state with
aspire describe,aspire otel logs,aspire logs,aspire otel traces, andaspire exportbefore making code changes - Before adding integrations, use
aspire integration search <query>when the package is unknown, thenaspire add <package>when ready to mutate the AppHost - When code changes, decide whether the AppHost model changed or only one resource changed. Re-run
aspire startafter AppHost changes; otherwise prefer resource commands, runtime watch/HMR, dashboard actions, or IDE-managed debugging as appropriate.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

aspire is a skill published in the GitHub repository thangchung/agent-engineering-experiment (24 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 224 tokens to every session and 2,674 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
