sparq: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

sparq AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from sparq-org/sparq. It costs 19,778 tokens per session, scanned E, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for coding agents working with sparq, a Rust database engine that stores linked data and answers SPARQL queries. They also describe sparq's code, skills, contributor workflow, and shared testing system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Helping agents work on sparq, use its code and skills, track tasks, follow repository conventions, and contribute to its shared evaluation system.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project context and working rules needed to make safe, consistent changes in a large repository.

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: SessionStart hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is sparq-org/sparq's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on sparq itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything sparq configures →

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 E, and why

sparq AGENTS.md scanned grade E with 3 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.

What sparq is

sparq is a from-scratch RDF triplestore and SPARQL 1.1 engine in Rust — dictionary-encoded, six sorted permutation indexes, parallel + streaming execution, RDFS/OWL-RL/N3 inference, an out-of-core (mmap) mode with a compressed on-disk format, a WebAssembly build, and a W3C-conformant HTTP server. The engine is published across several surfaces:

  • Rust crates (crates.io): sparq-core, sparq-engine (core), sparq-cli, sparq-server, plus opt-in capability crates (sparq-reason, sparq-reason-el, sparq-shacl, sparq-geo, sparq-text, sparq-rsp, sparq-hdt, sparq-solid, sparq-arrow, sparq-mcp, sparq-vc, ...). sparq-reason-el is a separate opt-in crate (depending on it is the opt-in): an OWL 2 EL consequence-based classifier that computes the complete rdfs:subClassOf subsumption lattice that OWL 2 RL (sparq-reason) is sound but silently incomplete for — see skills/inference/SKILL.md.
  • In-workspace, publish = false server estate (NOT on crates.io): sparq-lws-core — an EXPERIMENTAL native Solid/LDP (Linked Web Storage) server core imported from jeswr/solid-server-rs, SPARQ-authoritative for RDF + WAC, with Solid-OIDC/DPoP auth delegated to the pinned solid-oidc-verifier. It does not replace the TypeScript prod-solid-server and its default storage is ephemeral. sparq-lws-wasm is its opt-in wasm adapter (the local-development host behind @sparq-org/solid-server), and sparq-wac-oracle is the server-independent WAC/ACP decision test-vector corpus. Usage: skills/solid-lws-server/SKILL.md; design decisions: research/lws-design-records.md.
  • npm: @sparq-org/sparq — RDF/JS-typed API over the wasm build, zero runtime deps; @sparq-org/solid-server — loopback-only Solid/LDP development host over the separate in-memory wasm adapter, with fixed-owner default and opt-in Node-side Solid-OIDC verification.
  • PyPI: sparq-rdf (import name sparq) — pyo3/maturin bindings.

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.
