vspawn

vspawn is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vlinx-io/VelaTerm. It costs 118 tokens per session (972 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 5d 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 — 76 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

Step 1: Expand the user input into a "self-contained" rich prompt (critical)

The new child session is a brand-new conversation with no memory of this one. Do not forward the user's one-liner verbatim — as if handing the job to someone with zero context, use what is known from the current conversation to expand it into a task description that stands on its own. Write whichever of the following apply — don't pad:

  • Goal: what needs to be achieved.
  • Relevant files and paths: spell them out (absolute or relative), don't make them guess.
  • Established facts / conclusions: key information from this conversation that they wouldn't know (e.g. an already-located root cause, an already-agreed convention).
  • Constraints: tech stack, things that must not change, code-style requirements.
  • Acceptance criteria: what counts as done.

Don't write "see above / as mentioned / continuing from earlier" — the new session can't see any of this. (If the user's input is already complete, or they explicitly say "keep it short," don't over-expand.)

Step 2: Detect worktree / type options

Detect the following intents from the user input; when detected, turn them into the corresponding command flag, and do not write that instruction into the prompt:

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.
