## AAS Core: Agent-First Preview
Codex or Claude inspects your project and chooses exact skills. Every current catalog skill is individually searchable, readable, and available for agent selection. The read-only `compose_stack` tool validates the chosen IDs and structure in memory; a client or the `aas` CLI can persist `aas-stack.json` and optional selection evidence. `aas stack validate` checks the manifest, while `aas stack plan` writes an immutable preview for your review. Manifests have a technical maximum of 128 skills; Core does not rank or recommend candidates or install skills in this supported preview path.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Structural and identity validity does not certify semantic fit, compatibility, setup correctness, operational safety, or safety to apply. Apply and recovery require experimental opt-in and remain outside the supported preview.
The [Workbench](https://aaskills.tech/workbench) reviews stack and plan artifacts in browser memory without accessing your filesystem. See the [Core guide](https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/blob/v20.0.0/docs/users/aas-core.md) for tool contracts, capability coverage, and limits.
## Installation
### From selection to use
Start with AAS Core in Codex or Claude. Configure the local MCP using the [Codex](docs/users/codex-cli-skills.md) or [Claude](docs/users/claude-code-skills.md) guide. With the MCP available, ask the agent to inspect your project, compare relevant skills, and save the exact selection. Then validate its manifest and review the resulting plan before any installation. The first configuration command previews a change and returns an approval digest:
```bash
npm exec --yes --ignore-scripts --package=agentic-awesome-skills@20.0.0 -- aas mcp configure \
--host codex \
--scope user \
--config /absolute/path/to/codex/config.toml \
--cache-root /absolute/path/to/aas-cache
```
Use `--host claude` and its configuration path for Claude. The [Core setup guide](https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/blob/v20.0.0/docs/users/aas-core.md#configure-the-local-mcp) explains approval, reconnection, validation, and planning. To hand the reviewed IDs to the direct installer, use `aas stack install-preview` as described in the [manifest handoff](docs/users/aas-core.md#use-the-reviewed-selection); that command only prepares a `--dry-run` preview and does not apply a Core plan.
### Install selected skills directly
If you already know the IDs, preview a focused install into your host's skill directory:
```bash
npm exec --yes --ignore-scripts --package=agentic-awesome-skills@20.0.0 -- \
agentic-awesome-skills --release 20.0.0 --path .agents/skills \
--skills brainstorming,systematic-debugging --dry-run
```
Review the preview, then repeat without `--dry-run` when ready. The direct installer does not consume or apply a Core plan. Antigravity's watched skill directory can overload its context, so its default target requires a selected set, a filter, or an explicit `--all` override. See the [installation guide](docs/users/getting-started.md) and [security guidance](docs/users/security-and-antivirus.md) for other targets, auditing, and failure modes.
