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 | $0.00037 | $0.01398 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00699 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00280 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00140 |
Grade A, and why
context-budget 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 yesterday.
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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Context Budget
Analyze token overhead across every loaded component in a Claude Code session and surface actionable optimizations to reclaim context space.
When to Use
- Session performance feels sluggish or output quality is degrading
- You've recently added many skills, agents, or MCP servers
- You want to know how much context headroom you actually have
- Planning to add more components and need to know if there's room
- Running
/context-budgetcommand (this skill backs it)
How It Works
Phase 1: Inventory
Scan all component directories and estimate token consumption:
Agents (agents/*.md)
- Count lines and tokens per file (words × 1.3)
- Extract
descriptionfrontmatter length - Flag: files >200 lines (heavy), description >30 words (bloated frontmatter)
Skills (skills/*/SKILL.md)
- Count tokens per SKILL.md
- Flag: files >400 lines
- Check for duplicate copies in
.agents/skills/— skip identical copies to avoid double-counting
Rules (rules/**/*.md)
- Count tokens per file
- Flag: files >100 lines
- Detect content overlap between rule files in the same language module
MCP Servers (.mcp.json or active MCP config)
- Count configured servers and total tool count
- Estimate schema overhead at ~500 tokens per tool
- Flag: servers with >20 tools, servers that wrap simple CLI commands (
gh,git,npm,supabase,vercel)
CLAUDE.md (project + user-level)
- Count tokens per file in the CLAUDE.md chain
- Flag: combined total >300 lines
Phase 2: Classify
Sort every component into a bucket:
| Bucket | Criteria | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Always needed | Referenced in CLAUDE.md, backs an active command, or matches current project type | Keep |
| Sometimes needed | Domain-specific (e.g. language patterns), not referenced in CLAUDE.md | Consider on-demand activation |
| Rarely needed | No command reference, overlapping content, or no obvious project match | Remove or lazy-load |
Phase 3: Detect Issues
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.

context-budget is a skill published in the GitHub repository ufy2024/AuC (1,091 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,398 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
