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

spawn 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 17d 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

86% identical to spawn — 4 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

Create Cognitive Patterns

🎯 Key Principle

This tool coordinates Claude Code's actions. It does NOT write code or create content.

MCP Tool Usage in Claude Code

Tool: mcp__hyrex__agent_spawn

Parameters

{"type": "researcher", "name": "Literature Analysis", "capabilities": ["deep-analysis"]}

Description

Define cognitive patterns that represent different approaches Claude Code can take

Details

Agent types represent thinking patterns, not actual coders:

  • researcher: Systematic exploration approach
  • coder: Implementation-focused thinking
  • analyst: Data-driven decision making
  • architect: Big-picture system design
  • reviewer: Quality and consistency checking

These patterns guide how Claude Code approaches different aspects of your task.

Example Usage

In Claude Code:

  1. Use the tool: mcp__hyrex__agent_spawn
  2. With parameters: {"type": "researcher", "name": "Literature Analysis", "capabilities": ["deep-analysis"]}
  3. Claude Code then executes the coordinated plan using its native tools

Important Reminders

  • ✅ This tool provides coordination and structure
  • ✅ Claude Code performs all actual implementation
  • ❌ The tool does NOT write code
  • ❌ The tool does NOT access files directly
  • ❌ The tool does NOT execute commands

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.
