ase-meta-compat SKILL.md skillA

ase-meta-compat from rse/ase is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add rse/ase/ase-meta-compat@git:20260804.af0eeb8

Pins git:20260804.af0eeb8 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Self-test the LLM's ability to execute ASE's core interpreter machinery (control flow, XML placeholders, regex matching, arithmetic) and report an overall compatibility rating. Use when the user wants to check how well the current model/harness is compatible with ASE, or asks to "test ASE compatibility" or "check ASE compatibility".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

@${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../meta/ase-control.md

If `$1` (the first token of the skill arguments) is equal to `-h` or
`--help`, you *MUST* once output the following output <template/> and
then *IMMEDIATELY* *STOP* the further skill processing:

<template>
@${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/help.md
</template>

Self-Test ASE Compatibility
===========================

Objective
---------

*Self-test* how faithfully the current LLM (and its harness) executes the
four *core interpreter primitives* that every ASE skill silently relies
on -- *control flow*, *XML placeholders*, *regex matching*, and
*arithmetic* -- and report an overall **0%…100% compatibility** rating.

This skill is unusual: it is both the *test definition* and the *system
under test*. Each *probe* is a pure ASE construct that you execute,
recording its *actual* result. You *MUST NOT* compare against any expected
value until STEP 6. Do not fabricate passes: a probe whose actual result
differs from its expected result *MUST* be recorded as a *fail*.

Notice that this skill intentionally does not strictly follow the ASE
skill format; in particular, it does not include the usual meta skill
information.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rse/ase/ase-meta-compat@sha256:65d7d31367ba5962

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260804.af0eeb8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
