What is dashboard-session-spawn?

A command for starting a new coding session in a chosen folder.

Use it to create a session in the current or another directory, optionally with an initial task.

It avoids opening and setting up another session manually. You can also give the new session an initial prompt.

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	$0.00018	$0.00235
Opus 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00094
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00047
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00023

Security

Grade A, and why

dashboard-session-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 yesterday.

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

Use the pi-dashboard skill (see ../SKILL.md). Spawn a new session over the WebSocket bus:

npx tsx ./scripts/dashboard-bus.ts spawn <cwd> [--prompt <text>] [--attach <change>] [--model <ref>] [--thinking <level>]

Default to the current working directory if no argument is given. Optionally pass --prompt <text> to send an initial prompt and --attach <change> to attach an OpenSpec change. --model takes provider/id, provider/id:<level>, @role or @role:<level> (an @role is resolved once, at spawn time); --thinking takes off|minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh. A dropped model choice prints warning: <text> and the session still starts on the default model. The CLI sends the typed spawn verb and correlates the reply exactly. Report the new session id.

Optional argument (cwd):

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.
