MARVIN is a personal AI assistant built to remember conversations, track goals, organize work, and connect to external applications. People use it as a chief-of-staff-style extension for Claude Code or GitHub Copilot CLI, with integrations including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Linear, Notion, and Telegram. The catalogue entries provide commands, agents, skills, and instructions that define MARVIN's workflows.

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 5.1 | $0.00011 | $0.00923 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00462 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00185 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00092 |
Grade A, and why
new-project 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/new-project - Project Scaffolding
Scaffold a new software project with gstack pre-configured. Creates the directory, runs framework scaffolding, wires up gstack, writes CLAUDE.md, and adds the project to MARVIN's tracking.
Instructions
1. Check gstack Prerequisite
[ -d ~/.claude/skills/gstack ] && echo "GSTACK_READY" || echo "GSTACK_MISSING"
If GSTACK_MISSING, install it:
git clone --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/garrytan/gstack.git ~/.claude/skills/gstack && cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && ./setup
If installation fails, warn the user and offer to proceed without gstack.
2. Gather Project Info
If not already clear from conversation context, ask the user:
- Project name (kebab-case, used for directory name)
- Framework/stack (Next.js, React/Vite, Python, Go, SwiftUI, etc.)
- One-line description
- Location — suggest based on context:
- Personal projects:
~/personal/{project-name}/ - Work projects: ask the user for the work directory
- Confirm before creating
- Personal projects:
If MARVIN already brainstormed a spec for this project (check docs/superpowers/specs/
and conversation context), pull the name, stack, and description from there.
3. Scaffold the Project
Create the directory and run framework scaffolding:
mkdir -p {location}/{project-name}
cd {location}/{project-name}
Then run the appropriate scaffolding command:
| Stack | Command |
|---|---|
| Next.js | npx create-next-app@latest . --ts --tailwind --eslint --app --src-dir |
| React (Vite) | npm create vite@latest . -- --template react-ts |
| Python | mkdir src tests && touch src/__init__.py requirements.txt setup.py |
| Go | go mod init {module-name} |
| Node.js (plain) | npm init -y && mkdir src tests |
For SwiftUI: Tell the user to create the Xcode project manually, then run the remaining steps in the project directory.
For unlisted stacks: Ask the user for the scaffolding command.
Initialize git if the scaffolding didn't:
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.

new-project is a command published in the GitHub repository SterlingChin/marvin-template (1,017 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 923 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.

checklist
Generate a custom checklist for the current feature based on user requirements.
clarify
Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
specify
Create or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.
converge
Assess the current codebase against the feature's spec, plan, and tasks, then append any remaining unbuilt work as new tasks to tasks.md so implement can complete it.
implement
Execute the implementation plan by processing and executing all tasks defined in tasks.md.
analyze
Perform a non-destructive cross-artifact consistency and quality analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation.
