A command that breaks a large request into smaller tasks and coordinates their execution. It can run independent tasks in parallel or handle dependent tasks in sequence.

Use it for projects spanning several technical areas, with subtasks, dependencies, and results that need to be combined.

It makes complex work easier to organize and keeps relationships between tasks visible.

spawn — Command for Claude Code by SuperClaude-Org

About the project

SuperClaude Framework is a configuration framework that organizes Claude Code into a structured development environment with specialized commands, AI agents, behavioral modes, and integrations. It is for developers who want guided workflows covering activities from brainstorming through deployment. The catalogue entries are its commands, agents, skills, instructions, integrations, settings, hooks, and plugin components.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Framework

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install superclaude, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 5 skills, 30 commands, 20 agents, 1 hook, 2 MCP servers.

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	$0.00012	$0.00702
Opus 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00281
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00140
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00070

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 1mo 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.

/sc:spawn - Meta-System Task Orchestration

Triggers

Complex multi-domain operations requiring intelligent task breakdown
Large-scale system operations spanning multiple technical areas
Operations requiring parallel coordination and dependency management
Meta-level orchestration beyond standard command capabilities

Usage

/sc:spawn [complex-task] [--strategy sequential|parallel|adaptive] [--depth normal|deep]

Behavioral Flow

Analyze: Parse complex operation requirements and assess scope across domains
Decompose: Break down operation into coordinated subtask hierarchies
Orchestrate: Execute tasks using optimal coordination strategy (parallel/sequential)
Monitor: Track progress across task hierarchies with dependency management
Integrate: Aggregate results and provide comprehensive orchestration summary

Key behaviors:

Meta-system task decomposition with Epic → Story → Task → Subtask breakdown
Intelligent coordination strategy selection based on operation characteristics
Cross-domain operation management with parallel and sequential execution patterns
Advanced dependency analysis and resource optimization across task hierarchies

MCP Integration

Native Orchestration: Meta-system command uses native coordination without MCP dependencies
Progressive Integration: Coordination with systematic execution for progressive enhancement
Framework Integration: Advanced integration with SuperClaude orchestration layers

Tool Coordination

TodoWrite: Hierarchical task breakdown and progress tracking across Epic → Story → Task levels
Read/Grep/Glob: System analysis and dependency mapping for complex operations
Edit/MultiEdit/Write: Coordinated file operations with parallel and sequential execution
Bash: System-level operations coordination with intelligent resource management

Key Patterns

Hierarchical Breakdown: Epic-level operations → Story coordination → Task execution → Subtask granularity
Strategy Selection: Sequential (dependency-ordered) → Parallel (independent) → Adaptive (dynamic)
Meta-System Coordination: Cross-domain operations → resource optimization → result integration
Progressive Enhancement: Systematic execution → quality gates → comprehensive validation

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.

spawn is a command published in the GitHub repository SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Framework (23,905 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 702 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
