gauss-agent-spawning

gauss-agent-spawning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from math-inc/OpenGauss. It costs 56 tokens per session (2,165 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A way to start separate Gauss Agent command-line processes that have their own sessions, tools, and terminal environments. These processes can run independently for long periods or support interactive back-and-forth work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for autonomous missions lasting hours or days, parallel independent work, and interactive terminal-based collaboration. It requires the Gauss command-line tool and a configured API key.
Why use it?
It lets you isolate work and leave long-running tasks in the background instead of keeping them inside the current agent process. Each process also keeps its own session history.

About the project

OpenGauss is a project-scoped Lean workflow orchestrator that gives coding agents a command-line interface for managing formal proof and formalization tasks. It is used with Lean projects to coordinate agents, tooling, backend sessions, and workflows supplied by lean4-skills. The catalogue add-ons operate these Gauss-native workflows.

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 C, and why

gauss-agent-spawning scanned grade C with 2 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 8d 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.

Spawning Gauss Agent Instances

Run additional Gauss Agent processes as autonomous subprocesses. Unlike delegate_task (which spawns lightweight subagents sharing the same process), this launches fully independent gauss CLI processes with their own sessions, tools, and terminal environments.

When to Use This vs delegate_task

Feature delegate_task Spawning gauss process
Context isolation Separate conversation, shared process Fully independent process
Tool access Subset of parent's tools Full tool access (all toolsets)
Session persistence Ephemeral (no DB entry) Full session logging + DB
Duration Minutes (bounded by parent's loop) Hours/days (runs independently)
Monitoring Parent waits for result Background process, monitor via process tool
Interactive No Yes (PTY mode supports back-and-forth)
Use case Quick parallel subtasks Long autonomous missions, interactive collaboration

Prerequisites

  • gauss CLI installed and on PATH
  • API key configured in ~/.gauss/.env

Installation

Requires an interactive shell (the installer runs a setup wizard):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/gauss-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

This installs uv, Python 3.11, clones the repo, sets up the venv, and launches an interactive setup wizard to configure your API provider and model. See the GitHub repo for details.

Resuming Previous Sessions

Resume a prior CLI session instead of starting fresh. Useful for continuing long tasks across process restarts:

# Resume the most recent CLI session
terminal(command="gauss --continue", background=true, pty=true)

# Resume a specific session by ID (shown on exit)
terminal(command="gauss --resume 20260225_143052_a1b2c3", background=true, pty=true)

The full conversation history (messages, tool calls, responses) is restored from SQLite. The agent sees everything from the previous session.

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.

gauss-agent-spawning is a skill published in the GitHub repository math-inc/OpenGauss (1,260 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 2,165 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
