About the project

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.

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 A, and why

ecc-tools-cost-audit 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ECC Tools Cost Audit

Use this skill when the user suspects the ECC Tools GitHub App is burning cost, over-creating PRs, bypassing usage limits, or routing free users into premium analysis paths.

This is a focused operator workflow for the sibling ECC-Tools repo. It is not a generic billing skill and it is not a repo-wide code review pass.

Skill Stack

Pull these ECC-native skills into the workflow when relevant:

  • autonomous-loops for bounded multi-step audits that cross webhooks, queues, billing, and retries
  • agentic-engineering for tracing the request path into discrete, provable units
  • customer-billing-ops when repo behavior and customer-impact math must be separated cleanly
  • search-first before inventing helpers or re-implementing repo-local utilities
  • security-review when auth, usage gates, entitlements, or secrets are touched
  • verification-loop for proving rerun safety and exact post-fix state
  • tdd-workflow when the fix needs regression coverage in the worker, router, or billing paths

When To Use

  • user says ECC Tools burn rate, PR recursion, over-created PRs, usage-limit bypass, or premium-model leakage
  • the task is in the sibling ECC-Tools repo and depends on webhook handlers, queue workers, usage reservation, PR creation logic, or paid-gate enforcement
  • a customer report says the app created too many PRs, billed incorrectly, or analyzed code without producing a usable result

Scope Guardrails

  • work in the sibling ECC-Tools repo, not in everything-claude-code
  • start read-only unless the user clearly asked for a fix
  • do not mutate unrelated billing, checkout, or UI flows while tracing analysis burn
  • treat app-generated branches and app-generated PRs as red-flag recursion paths until proved otherwise
  • separate three things explicitly:
    • repo-side burn root cause
    • customer-facing billing impact
    • product or entitlement gaps that need backlog follow-up
