agent-spawning

agent-spawning is an agent for Claude Code from airmcp-com/mcp-standards. It costs 0 tokens per session (175 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-spawning, MIT.

A guide for using Claude Code’s Task tool to start multiple helper agents, such as researchers, coders, and testers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps divide research, coding, and testing work among concurrently running agents, with optional MCP-based coordination.
Why use it?
It clarifies which mechanism should run the agents and how to start them together.

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

agent-spawning 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to agent-spawning — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

agent-spawning

Guide to spawning agents with Claude Code's Task tool.

Using Claude Code's Task Tool

CRITICAL: Always use Claude Code's Task tool for actual agent execution:

// Spawn ALL agents in ONE message
Task("Researcher", "Analyze requirements...", "researcher")
Task("Coder", "Implement features...", "coder")
Task("Tester", "Create tests...", "tester")

MCP Coordination Setup (Optional)

MCP tools are ONLY for coordination:

mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init { topology: "mesh" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "researcher" }

Best Practices

  1. Always spawn agents concurrently
  2. Use Task tool for execution
  3. MCP only for coordination
  4. Batch all operations

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.
