A command for setting up and starting the Styx AI API gateway locally. Styx provides a local gateway, dashboard, health check, and MCP connection point.

Use it to check prerequisites, clone Styx, run its setup wizard, start its Docker services, and verify that the local endpoints work.

It removes the need to remember the cloning, setup, startup, and health-check steps required to run Styx.

setup — Command for Claude Code by timmx7/styx

Install

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/timmx7/styx

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install styx, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 2 commands, 1 agent.

Per session 11 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 283 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 1 finding. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00011	$0.00283
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00113
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00057
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00028

Security

Grade A, and why

setup scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

/styx:setup

Help the user set up and start the Styx AI API gateway.

Steps

Check if Docker and Docker Compose are installed. If not, inform the user.
Check if Styx is already cloned locally. Look for a styx directory or a docker-compose.yml with styx references.

If not present, clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/styx-hq/styx.git
cd styx

Run the setup wizard:
```
./setup.sh
```
Start the services:
```
docker compose up -d
```

Verify health:

curl -s http://localhost:8080/health | jq .

Report the status to the user:
- Gateway URL: http://localhost:8080
- Dashboard URL: http://localhost:3000
- MCP endpoint: http://localhost:8080/mcp

If the user passes --skip-auth, remind them to set SKIP_AUTH=true in the environment for development mode.

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.
