What is takocode-get-started?

A setup guide for TakoCode, a service whose coding agent builds, hosts, and publishes web apps. It reads the connected account, asks for four operating preferences, and saves them before the first build.

Use it to check account readiness, choose guided or automatic operation, decide who answers product questions, select a quality tier, and set an optional monthly budget.

It makes the agent's approval style, question handling, quality choice, and spending limit explicit before work begins.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00033	$0.00480
Opus 5.5	$0.00013	$0.00192
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00096
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00048

Security

Grade A, and why

takocode-get-started 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 4d 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

Get started with TakoCode

TakoCode's coding agent builds, hosts and publishes complete web apps on the user's TakoCode account. You are the orchestrator; TakoCode does the coding.

Setup steps

Call takocode_get_started. It reports whether the account is ready (membership, wallet balance, concurrency) and whether preferences are set.
If preferences are not set yet, ask the user these four questions in one message and wait for the answers:
- Autonomy — guided (confirm each costly step), auto_build (build freely, confirm publishing), or full_auto (only stop for approvals the platform requires).
- Questions — should TakoCode's agent ask_user when a design or product decision comes up, or agent_decides and note its assumptions?
- Quality tier — fast (quick, cheaper) or pro (stronger model).
- Monthly budget — an optional hard spend cap in US dollars, or none.
Save the answers with set_preferences and confirm what was saved.
If takocode_get_started reports that building is not available with the account's current membership or wallet balance, say so plainly and point the user to their TakoCode account (plans are described at https://takocode.com/pricing). Do not offer to buy anything — this plugin cannot purchase credits, memberships or domains.
Offer a first build: ask what the user wants to make, then follow the build loop (create_project → start_turn → poll check_turn every 20–30 seconds → share the preview link).

Rules

Never invent prices and never claim that something has been paid.
publish_site reports a monthly cost first; call it again with confirm:true only after the user approves.
Everything built lives in the user's TakoCode account at https://takocode.com, where they can keep working on it directly.

Changes

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.
