spark

spark is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 13 tokens per session (289 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system for processing very large amounts of data across multiple computers. Apache Spark can run batch jobs, SQL-like table queries, and continuous data streams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for large-scale data cleaning and transformation, real-time analytics, DataFrame or PySpark jobs, and machine learning with Spark’s ML tools.
Why use it?
It lets data work move from one machine to a cluster when a single computer is not enough. Its optimizer can improve table queries before they run.

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

spark 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.

What it actually says

Apache Spark

Spark is the king of Big Data. v4.0 (2024/2025) makes Spark Connect the default, allowing thin clients (like VS Code) to connect to massive clusters easily.

When to Use

  • Data Engineering: ETL at Petabyte scale.
  • Streaming: Structured Streaming for real-time analytics.
  • Legacy ML: spark.ml (though mostly replaced by XGBoost/Torch).

Core Concepts

Spark Connect

Decouples client (your laptop) from server (the cluster). Allows using Spark from Go/Rust/TypeScript.

Catalyst Optimizer

Optimizes your SQL/DataFrame queries before execution.

RDD

The low-level API. Almost never used directly in modern Spark.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Use PySpark: It is now a first-class citizen with Python UDF profiling.
  • Use Delta Lake / Iceberg: Spark works best with modern table formats.
  • Use pandas_udf: For vectorized Python UDFs.

Don't:

  • Don't use rdd.map: It is slow (Python serialization). Use DataFrames.

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.

spark is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 289 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.
