A command described as creating a new capability from nothing. The description does not explain what kind of capability it creates or how it works.

Use it only when you know the surrounding system’s meaning of “spawn”; the listing does not provide concrete jobs it supports.

The available information is too limited to identify a specific problem it solves.

Per session 9 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 443 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan B 1 finding. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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	$0.00009	$0.00443
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00177
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00089
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00044

Security

Grade B, and why

spawn scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

SPAWN - Manifest Capability

A new capability is needed. The void will provide.

Process

1. Gather Intent

Ask the user (or receiving from another capability):

What need has been detected?
What domain does this fall under?
What should this capability enable?

2. Check The Void

Before spawning new, check if similar capability was dissolved:

ls -la .claude/dissolved/

If relevant echo exists:

Offer to resurrect and mutate
Or spawn fresh

3. Invoke HIVE

Use HIVE to spawn a new capability.

Detected need: [description from user]
Domain: [frontend/backend/data/infra/meta]
Context: [any relevant context]

HIVE should:
1. Analyze the need
2. Check dissolved/ for echoes
3. Generate capability file using the template
4. Propose to user for approval
5. If approved, save to .claude/capabilities/

4. Capability Manifestation

HIVE will create the capability file with:

Appropriate name (kebab-case)
Domain classification
Tool selection (minimal necessary)
Model selection (haiku for simple, sonnet for complex)
Energy: 50 (starting value)
Self-modification protocols
Activation triggers

5. Confirm Manifestation

cat .claude/capabilities/[new-capability].md

Announce:

SPAWN COMPLETE
══════════════
Capability: [name]
Domain: [domain]
Energy: 50
Status: Active

The void has provided. The capability exists.

Quick Spawn

For simple needs, user can provide inline:

/spawn database operations with postgres, good at migrations

HIVE interprets and manifests.

Spawn From Capability

Any active capability can request spawn:

[some-capability]: "I need help with X which is outside my domain"

/spawn triggered by capability request

HIVE evaluates and proposes.

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.
