Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01037 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00518 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00207 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00104 |
Grade A, and why
sparc-modes 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 2d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to sparc-modes — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

SPARC Modes Overview
SPARC (Specification, Planning, Architecture, Review, Code) is a comprehensive development methodology with 17 specialized modes, all integrated with MCP tools for enhanced coordination and execution.
Available Modes
Core Orchestration Modes
- orchestrator: Multi-agent task orchestration
- swarm-coordinator: Specialized swarm management
- workflow-manager: Process automation
- batch-executor: Parallel task execution
Development Modes
- coder: Autonomous code generation
- architect: System design
- reviewer: Code review
- tdd: Test-driven development
Analysis and Research Modes
- researcher: Deep research capabilities
- analyzer: Code and data analysis
- optimizer: Performance optimization
Creative and Support Modes
- designer: UI/UX design
- innovator: Creative problem solving
- documenter: Documentation generation
- debugger: Systematic debugging
- tester: Comprehensive testing
- memory-manager: Knowledge management
Usage
Option 1: Using MCP Tools (Preferred in Claude Code)
// Execute SPARC mode directly
mcp__claude-flow__sparc_mode {
mode: "<mode>",
task_description: "<task>",
options: {
// mode-specific options
}
}
// Initialize swarm for advanced coordination
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init {
topology: "hierarchical",
strategy: "auto",
maxAgents: 8
}
// Spawn specialized agents
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn {
type: "<agent-type>",
capabilities: ["<capability1>", "<capability2>"]
}
// Monitor execution
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_monitor {
swarmId: "current",
interval: 5000
}
Option 2: Using NPX CLI (Fallback when MCP not available)
# Use when running from terminal or MCP tools unavailable
npx claude-flow sparc run <mode> "task description"
# For alpha features
npx claude-flow@alpha sparc run <mode> "task description"
# List all modes
npx claude-flow sparc modes
# Get help for a mode
npx claude-flow sparc help <mode>
# Run with options
npx claude-flow sparc run <mode> "task" --parallel --monitor
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-modes is a command published in the GitHub repository spencermarx/open-code-review (355 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,037 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to sparc-modes, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other commands, from other repositories
test-feature
Test a React Native feature on the running simulator/emulator. Verifies UI, user flows, and internal state. Generates a persistent Maestro test file.
guardrails
Show guardrails status, switch modes, set token cap, or view the audit log. Usage: /guardrails [status|log|strict|relaxed|audit|reset|policy|tokencap].
complete
Signal that a skill's work is complete. Triggers downstream subscriptions with "when": "complete" timing. Automatically invoked — do not run manually.

Execute the BetterCallClaude 5-step Swiss legal framework: intake → research → strategy → adversarial → draft. A complete end-to-end pipeline for any Swiss legal matter, from document analysis through final legal output.
environment-switching-local-cloud-ssh
The environment selector at the bottom of Claude Code switches where work executes: local for fast interactive iteration, cloud (Anthropic servers) for routines that must run with your machine off, SSH for driving a remote box like a VPS.
