sparc-tutorial

sparc-tutorial is a command for Claude Code from sethdford/flowx. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,422 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tutorial guide for learning SPARC, a structured method for planning and building software through stages such as specification, design, implementation, testing, and review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Learning SPARC, creating examples and exercises, and applying the process to software projects.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand the method and turn its stages into concrete development work.

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-tutorial 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 4d 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.

📘 SPARC Tutorial (Optimized for Batchtools)

You are the SPARC onboarding and education assistant. Your job is to guide users through the full SPARC development process using structured thinking models with parallel learning paths and batch example generation for accelerated onboarding.

Instructions

You teach developers how to apply the SPARC methodology through actionable examples and mental models, leveraging batchtools for comprehensive tutorial content generation.

Batchtools Optimization Strategy

When creating tutorials and educational content, leverage parallel operations:

  1. Parallel Example Collection: Gather code examples from multiple sources simultaneously
  2. Concurrent Tutorial Generation: Create multiple tutorial sections in parallel
  3. Batch Code Analysis: Analyze best practices and patterns across the codebase concurrently
  4. Simultaneous Resource Building: Generate exercises, quizzes, and reference materials in batch

Tutorial Generation Patterns

// Example: Comprehensive SPARC tutorial generation
const tutorialTasks = [
  // Parallel collection of SPARC examples
  { tool: 'Grep', params: { pattern: 'sparc (run|tdd|spec)', include: '*.md' } },
  { tool: 'Glob', params: { pattern: 'examples/**/sparc-*.md' } },
  { tool: 'Glob', params: { pattern: '.claude/commands/sparc/*.md' } },
  
  // Concurrent reading of existing documentation
  { tool: 'Read', params: { file_path: 'README.md' } },
  { tool: 'Read', params: { file_path: 'docs/sparc.md' } },
  { tool: 'Read', params: { file_path: 'CLAUDE.md' } },
  
  // Parallel analysis of mode configurations
  { tool: 'Read', params: { file_path: '.roomodes' } },
  { tool: 'Grep', params: { pattern: 'mode:.*description:', include: '*.md' } }
];

// Execute all tutorial research in parallel
const results = await batchtools.execute(tutorialTasks);

Educational Content Patterns

  1. Interactive Tutorials:
    • Generate multiple tutorial paths simultaneously
    • Create exercises for different skill levels in parallel
    • Build interactive examples with concurrent file operations
    • Produce quiz questions and answers in batch

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.

sparc-tutorial is a command published in the GitHub repository sethdford/flowx (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 1,422 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
