vspawn-tree

vspawn-tree is a skill for Claude Code from vlinx-io/VelaTerm. It costs 96 tokens per session (872 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for starting a separate coding-agent session in its own Git worktree, which is an isolated working copy connected to a branch. The child session runs as a visible, independent session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Launching an independent agent session, passing it a complete task, and developing on an isolated Git worktree.
Why use it?
It keeps the child session's changes separate from the current workspace. This makes parallel or experimental work easier to manage without mixing files immediately.

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-tree 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/vspawn-tree

The user explicitly invoked /vspawn-tree (Claude) or $vspawn-tree (Codex) to request spawning a standalone child session under the current vlx-term session, passing the task in as its first message. The only difference from /vspawn: it opens a dedicated git worktree for the child session (a separate workspace/branch), suited to cases where you don't want to pollute the current workspace and want the child task to run on an isolated branch.

⚠️ 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 type options

Detect "specifying claude / codex" from the user input (or a leading --claude / --codex) → add the matching flag, and don't write it into the prompt. The default follows the current session type. (This command always opens a worktree, so there's nothing to detect there.)

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.

vspawn-tree is a skill published in the GitHub repository vlinx-io/VelaTerm (112 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 872 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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.
