AuC is a Python framework for running a single AI agent with an asynchronous, pluggable reasoning loop, language-model adapters, permission levels, and observable events. It is used to build coding and conversational agents with tools, security checks, web interfaces, background jobs, evaluations, and isolated execution. The catalogue entries are skills for extending its agent workflow.
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 | $0.00022 | $0.01959 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00979 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00392 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00196 |
Grade A, and why
ask-matt 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.

Ask Matt
You don't remember every skill, so ask.
A flow is a path through the skills. Most paths run along one main flow, and two on-ramps merge onto it. Everything else is standalone, or a vocabulary layer that runs underneath.
The main flow: idea → ship
The route most work travels. You have an idea and want it built.
-
/grill-with-docs— sharpen the idea by interview. Start here when you have a codebase: it's stateful, retaining what it learns inCONTEXT.mdand ADRs. (No codebase? Use/grill-me— see Standalone. Both run the same/grillingprimitive;grill-with-docsis the one that leaves a paper trail.) -
Branch — can you settle every question in conversation? If a question needs a runnable answer (state, business logic, a UI you have to see), detour through a prototype, bridged by
/handoffin both directions (see Crossing sessions):/handoffout, then open a fresh session against that file,/prototypeto answer the question with throwaway code,/handoffback what you learned, and reference it from the original idea thread.
-
Branch — is this a multi-session build?
- Yes →
/to-spec(turn the thread into a spec), then/to-ticketsto split it into tracer-bullet tickets, each declaring its blocking edges. On a local tracker that's an orderedtickets.mdyou work by hand; on a real tracker the edges become native blocking links, so any ticket whose blockers are done can be grabbed — kick off/implementper ticket, clearing context between each one. - No →
/implementright here, in the same context window.
Either way,
/implementbuilds each issue by driving/tddinternally — one red-green slice at a time — then closes out by running/code-review, a two-axis review (Standards + Spec) of the diff, before committing. Reach for/tddon its own when you just want to build a concrete behaviour test-first without a full spec, and/code-reviewon its own whenever you want to review a branch or PR against a fixed point. - Yes →
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.

ask-matt is a skill published in the GitHub repository ufy2024/AuC (1,091 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 1,959 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 2026-08-30.
