vspawn

vspawn is a skill for Claude Code from vlinx-io/VelaTerm. It costs 148 tokens per session (2,382 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for starting a separate, visible coding-agent session under the current terminal session. The child starts with the task you provide and normally uses the current folder without creating a separate Git worktree, which is an isolated copy of a repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start an independent child session, or add a worktree when the child needs an isolated repository copy.
Why use it?
It lets you hand off a self-contained task while keeping the current session available and undisturbed.

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

vspawn 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/vspawn

The user explicitly invoked /vspawn (Claude) or $vspawn (Codex) to request spawning a standalone child session under the current vlx-term session, passing the task in as its first message. The new child session runs as a brand-new claude/codex process, and by default runs in the current directory without a worktree (to open a dedicated git worktree for the child task, use /vspawn-tree, or add --worktree to this command).

⚠️ This is not an in-process sub-agent, and not a background Task: it is a real, visible, interactive, resumable session tab in the vlx-term left-panel tree, run by its own process, leaving the current session undisturbed.

User input:

$ARGUMENTS

Planning and execution mode

When the user requests this workflow or supplies --plan-execute, keep the current session as the initiator. Pass the expanded task to vspawn --plan-execute; VelaTerm creates a new planner, which later dispatches work to its persistent executor. Independent review is disabled by default. Pass --review when the user requests review; it then runs in a separate Review session. Plan only collects context, coordinates and summarizes in both modes. Add --split-tasks when the user requests automatic decomposition into multiple tasks. The new planner then proposes the split for a separate user review; do not split or execute the task in the initiating conversation. Do not perform the planning or execution here, and do not use in-process subagents.

For a skill invocation that uses both --plan-execute and --split-tasks, automatically add --yes unless the user explicitly requests the initial configuration dialog. This skips launch configuration and keeps only the final task-proposal review; the user does not need to supply --yes themselves. Never approve the proposal on the user's behalf. Without task splitting, keep the ordinary confirmation rules below.

Each role has independent --plan-agent, --plan-model, --plan-effort and --exec-agent, --exec-model, --exec-effort parameters. Optional Review also has --review-agent, --review-model and --review-effort; --review or --no-review selects whether it exists. Pass only explicit user selections; the backend resolves omitted choices using the initiating session and supported defaults. With split-task skill invocation, the planner starts with those settings, and the final review lets the user edit each executor's settings. It does not reconfigure the already-started planner. Both launch dialogs also offer automatic task splitting. Do not guess a different model. Only agents supported by the backend chat engine can run this workflow. Agent changes reset that role's model and effort draft in the dialogs. Ordinary --model, --effort and agent flags serve as planner defaults when role-specific flags are absent.

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.
