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.

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

setup 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 yesterday.

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.

Interactive Setup for sparX Integrations

Walk the user through setting up optional integrations that enhance sparX skills. Each integration is independent — install only what you need.

Available Integrations

Present this menu if no specific integration is requested:

Which integration would you like to set up?

1. Remotion     — Programmatic video/GIF generation for posts
2. OpenTweet    — Direct posting, scheduling, analytics, voice learning via MCP
3. last30days   — Real-time trend research across X, Reddit, HN, YouTube
4. X API        — Direct X/Twitter API access for custom workflows
5. All          — Set up everything

Type a number or name to get started.

Integration: Remotion

Prerequisites Check

node --version   # 18+ required
pnpm --version   # must be available

Installation Steps

This is an interactive install — the user must run it themselves.

Tell the user:

Run this in your terminal:

pnpm create video --blank marketing

When prompted, answer Yes to all three questions:

  1. Continue inside existing Git repo? → Yes
  2. Add TailwindCSS? → Yes
  3. Add agent skills? → Yes

For the skills installer, choose:

  • Claude Code as the agent
  • Project scope
  • Symlink (recommended)

After it finishes, run:

cd marketing && pnpm i && pnpm run dev

This opens the Remotion preview studio in your browser.

Do NOT attempt to run pnpm create video yourself — it's interactive and requires user input at multiple prompts.

Post-Install

The installer creates:

  • marketing/ — Remotion project with blank canvas
  • marketing/.agents/skills/remotion-best-practices — agent skills (symlinked to Claude Code)
  • Tailwind CSS pre-configured for styling compositions

Key commands:

cd marketing
pnpm run dev              # Preview in browser (hot-reloads)
pnpm exec remotion render # Render to MP4

Do NOT attempt to run pnpm create video yourself — it requires interactive input (prompts for styling choice, etc.) that cannot be automated.

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.

setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository Epistates/sparX (3 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,949 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.

opencli-autofix

Automatically fix broken OpenCLI adapters when commands fail. Load this skill when an opencli command fails — it guides you through collecting a trace artifact, patching the adapter, retrying, and filing an upstream GitHub issue after a verified fix. Works with any AI agent.

opencli-usage

Use at the start of any OpenCLI session — this is the top-level map of what opencli can do, how to discover adapters, what flags and output formats are universal, and which specialized skill to load next. Point here when an agent asks "what can opencli do?" or "how do I find the right command?".

opencli-sitemap-author

Use when creating or maintaining OpenCLI site sitemaps: agent-facing navigation, page-state, action, workflow, API-reference, pitfall, and fallback knowledge for a website. Use after browser exploration discovers durable site context, when a sitemap is stale, or when promoting local site knowledge into the repo.
