Setting up Hyperspell

Setting up Hyperspell is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hyperspell/claude. It costs 17 tokens per session (2,035 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step guide for adding Hyperspell to a project. Hyperspell is a service whose SDK can collect, search, and automatically trace project-related memory for an application.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up Hyperspell in TypeScript, JavaScript, or Python projects, including memory collection, memory search, and optional automatic tracing.
Why use it?
It helps avoid missing setup tasks such as installing the SDK, adding an API key, choosing how to collect data, and enabling search.

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

Setting up Hyperspell 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 3d 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.

Setup Hyperspell

Instructions

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

Implementation Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Install the Hyperspell SDK
- [ ] Step 2: Configure the API Key
- [ ] Step 3: Detect Project Type
- [ ] Step 4: Choose Memory Ingestion Method
- [ ] Step 5: Set Up Memory Ingestion
- [ ] Step 6: Set Up Memory Search
- [ ] Step 7: Enable Auto-Trace (Optional)
- [ ] Step 8: Wrapping Up

Run the following command and note the output as $START_TIME:

date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ

Step 1: Install the Hyperspell SDK

Determine whether the hyperspell SDK is already installed. If not, install it:

  • For TypeScript/JavaScript projects: npm i hyperspell or yarn add hyperspell
  • For Python projects: uv add hyperspell or pip install hyperspell (use whatever package manager the project uses)

Step 2: Configure the API Key

When the user invoked this command, they may have passed an API key as an argument: '$1'

If that string is blank or not a valid API key, display this message and wait for the user to paste their key:

Please paste your Hyperspell API key below.

If you don't have one yet, create one at https://app.hyperspell.com/api-keys

Do NOT use a multiple choice menu for this step - just ask directly and let the user paste their key.

Once you have the API key, put it in .env.local (or .env if .env.local doesn't exist) as HYPERSPELL_API_KEY.

If this project contains an .env.example, also put a dummy key in there (HYPERSPELL_API_KEY=hs-0-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

Step 3: Detect Project Type

Follow the instructions in detect_project.md to analyze the codebase and determine:

  • Repo type: Backend, Frontend-only, or Monorepo/Fullstack
  • Language: TypeScript/JavaScript or Python
  • Framework: Next.js (App/Pages Router), Express, FastAPI, SPA, etc.
  • Auth system: Clerk, Auth0, NextAuth, custom, or none
  • AI SDK: Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, or none

Store these detection results for use in subsequent steps.

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.
