OpenRouterLabs/spawn ★ 242 38 APPLICATION

Spawn is a multi-cloud VM provisioning CLI that deploys AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, etc.) onto cloud VMs (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS Lightsail, GCP, Daytona, Sprite) with a single command. It handles the full lifecycle: interactive agent/cloud selection via fuzzy matching, VM provisioning, SSH key injection, agent installation (npm binaries, pre-built tarballs, or Docker sidecars), environment configuration (OpenRouter API key, MCP servers via skill files), and interactive session handoff. The system supports headless mode, recursive spawning (agent launching sub-agents), auto-update systemd services, and a security scan cron. It is distributed as per-cloud JS bundles (Bun.build, minified) with curl|bash wrappers that download from GitHub Releases, and a Windows PowerShell installer. Architecturally, Spawn is a modular monolith: a shared orchestration pipeline (`shared/orchestrate.ts`) drives cloud-specific providers implementing a common `CloudRunner`/`CloudOrchestrator` interface (authenticate → promptSize → createServer → waitForReady → install → configure → launch → interactiveSession). Agents and clouds are defined in a `manifest.json` that validates compatibility via runtime type contracts. A shared `Result` monad (`@openrouter/spawn-shared`) enables functional error handling with retry semantics across SSH calls and cloud API interactions. The codebase is well-tested (~100+ test files) with fs-isolated sandboxes, mocked cloud prompts, and integration tests against real cloud providers via an E2E harness. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices: schema-validated input parsing (valibot), security-first validation (allowlists for every user-controlled input: instance names, IPs, SSH usernames, shell commands, remote paths), and atomic file operations with corruption recovery for history persistence. However, there is significant duplication across cloud providers (near-identical SSH execution patterns in each cloud module), large monolithic files (orchestrate.ts ~1000+ lines, agent-setup.ts ~2000 lines), and manual drift risk from hardcoded API slugs (DigitalOcean marketplace images, Hetzner server types, GCP machine types) and embedded OAuth client secrets (documented as acceptable public-client pattern).
