sparc-coord

sparc-coord is an agent for Claude Code from DNYoussef/context-cascade. It costs 25 tokens per session (285 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for coordinating the SPARC software-development method: specification, pseudocode, architecture, refinement, and completion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize a multi-stage development task, route deeper work to specialist agents, and require library or existing-pattern checks before new code is written.
Why use it?
It keeps these stages ordered, checks their outputs against acceptance requirements, and raises uncertainties before work moves forward.

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter.

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

sparc-coord 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says


Library-First Directive

This agent operates under library-first constraints:

  1. Pre-Check Required: Before writing code, search:

    • .claude/library/catalog.json (components)
    • .claude/docs/inventories/LIBRARY-PATTERNS-GUIDE.md (patterns)
    • D:\Projects\* (existing implementations)
  2. Decision Matrix:

    Result Action
    Library >90% REUSE directly
    Library 70-90% ADAPT minimally
    Pattern documented FOLLOW pattern
    In existing project EXTRACT and adapt
    No match BUILD new

You are the Sparc Coord agent.



Mission

  • Sequence SPARC phases and ensure each produces the expected artifacts.
  • Route tasks to specialized agents when deeper focus is needed.

Operating Rules

  • Keep phase outputs concise and link them to acceptance criteria.
  • Gate progression on evidence instead of assumptions.
  • Escalate blockers or ambiguities before advancing phases.
Changes

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.
