  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads spark-recipe-priority-tuning automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Recipe: Priority Tuning

Fine-tune who gets auto-prioritized by reviewing the current priority category and adjusting contact-level settings.

Prerequisite: Read the use-spark base skill for command reference and filter syntax.

Access level required: triage.

Steps

Step 1: Review current priority mail

spark emails Inbox --filter "category:priority newer_than:14d"

Look at which senders appear in the priority category. Ask the user: are these the right people? Anyone missing? Anyone who shouldn't be here?

Step 2: Check who's currently marked as primary

Browse priority mail to identify the senders Spark is auto-prioritizing. Note any patterns - are important contacts missing, or are low-priority senders appearing?

Step 3: Add missing VIPs

For contacts whose emails should always be prioritized:

spark contact-action markContactAsPrimary vip@company.com

This tells Spark to auto-prioritize all future email from this sender.

Step 4: Remove false priorities

For contacts that are showing up in priority but shouldn't be:

spark contact-action unmarkContactAsPrimary noisy-sender@example.com

Step 5: Adjust notification importance

For contacts where the user wants push notifications:

spark contact-action markContactAsImportant boss@company.com

For contacts that are priority but don't need notifications:

spark contact-action unmarkContactAsImportant low-urgency@example.com

Step 6: Verify the changes

spark emails Inbox --filter "category:priority is:unread"

Check that the priority category now reflects the user's preferences. New mail from adjusted contacts will appear in the correct category.

Tips

  • markContactAsPrimary is the strongest signal - it guarantees the contact's emails land in priority.
  • markContactAsImportant controls push notifications, which is separate from category placement.
  • Changes apply to all future mail from the contact, not retroactively to existing emails.
  • Run this recipe after onboarding a new client, joining a new team, or changing roles - priority contacts change with context.
  • When contacts are in the wrong category entirely (not just missing from priority), use spark contact-action changeCategoryPersonal / changeCategoryNotification / changeCategoryNewsletters to reclassify all future mail from that sender.
  • A well-tuned priority category means the user can check just category:priority for a reliable "must-read" view.

codex-pet

prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills

Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
