The recognized artifact kinds are the seven tokens `TASK`, `SPEC`, `ARCH`, `CODE`, `DOCS`, `INFR`, and `OTHR`. Parse as the comma-separated kind list. Upper-case and trim every parsed kind token. Do not output anything. 2. is empty"> Only output the following and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill: ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-sync-import**, ▶ ERROR: empty target artifact list 3. If any token in is *not* one of the seven recognized kinds, only output the following (with set to the first offending token) and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill: ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-sync-import**, ▶ ERROR: unknown or unsupported artifact kind: **** 4. is empty"> Only output the following and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill: ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-sync-import**, ▶ ERROR: empty source hint -- nothing to import from 5. Report the resolved target and source hint with the following : **TARGET**: **SOURCE**: 2. 1. Do not output anything in this STEP 2. 2. Interpret the as the description of the *foreign sources* to import from. The foreign sources are *external* to the ASE artifact sets and may be local files or directories, remote URLs, pasted text passages, or references to other documents. 3. Read or fetch all foreign sources named by the : read local files and directories via the `Read` tool, and fetch remote URLs via the available web tools. Build a precise understanding of the *information* the foreign sources represent. 3. 1. For all kinds in , call the `ase_artifact_list(kind: [ ... ])` tool of the `ase` MCP server *once*, passing the lower-cased `kind` tokens, and read the returned `artifacts` array of `{ kind, files }` objects to obtain the project-relative file list per kind. Read all *existing* target artifacts to understand their current state. 2. Internalize and honor the artifact-format conventions: - the artifact-set/artifact/aspect meta information (`ase-format-meta.md`), - the `SPEC` format (`ase-format-spec.md`), - the `ARCH` format (`ase-format-arch.md`), - the `TASK` format (`ase-format-task.md`). Whenever a target artifact belongs to one of these kinds, it *MUST* be kept (or made) conformant to the corresponding format (headings, structure, identifiers, and the `` rule). The kinds `CODE`, `DOCS`, `INFR`, and `OTHR` have no dedicated format contract and are treated as free-form. 3. You *MUST* internalize and strictly honor the **GENERIC TENETS**, the **CRAFTING TENETS**, and the **RECONCILIATION TENETS** of the **ASE Tenets** when generating or updating in the following. Do not output anything. 4. Once call the `ase_timestamp(format: "yyyy-LL-dd HH:mm")` tool of the `ase` MCP server to find out the current time and store it in . 5. *Generate or update* the artifact files so that they faithfully *reflect* the information of the imported foreign sources: - *Generate* a target artifact that does not yet exist but is warranted by the imported information, using the current time for both its `Created:` and `Modified:` timestamps. - *Update* an existing target artifact so it reflects the imported information. Keep changes as *surgical* as possible: change only what the imported information actually requires, and do *not* rewrite unrelated parts of an artifact. Whenever an existing artifact is changed and contains a `Modified: ` line, replace this with `Modified: `. Honor **No Fabrication**: never invent target content the foreign sources do not support; if the sources are silent or ambiguous on something the target needs, surface the gap rather than guessing. Re-express the imported facts at the *target's* level of abstraction (a SPEC states intent, an ARCH states structure). Apply the generation/update directly to the target artifacts via the `Write`/`Edit` tools. 6. Report the performed changes with the following , listing one bullet line per generated or updated file (with its project-relative path and an ultra-brief description of what was imported): **IMPORTED ARTIFACTS**: - ``: [...] Only output the following : **IMPORTED ARTIFACTS**: none -- all targets already reflect the imported sources ## Source & license This open-source skill is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [rse](https://github.com/rse) - **Source:** [rse/ase](https://github.com/rse/ase) - **License:** Apache-2.0 - **Homepage:** https://ase.tools Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** no - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/skill-rse-ase-ase-sync-import - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/rse - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
