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 1mo 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.

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.

Diagnoses a broken course setup by reading the folder, so the student never has to describe the problem in English. Takes no argument.

wrap-up

Saves today's work session as a four-line entry (did, decided, open, next) at the top of the project's log.md, after the student confirms it, so a fresh chat can continue tomorrow with /pick-up. Writes to projects/ /log.md or career-vault/log.md, one entry per project touched, never to new-client. Use when the student…
