Spawn

Launch any AI coding agent on any cloud, pre-configured with OpenRouter.

Install

curl -fsSL https://openrouter.ai/lab/spawn/cli/install.sh | bash

Usage

spawn                         # Interactive picker
spawn <agent> <cloud>         # Launch directly
spawn list                    # Show the full matrix

Examples

spawn claude sprite           # Claude Code on Sprite
spawn aider hetzner           # Aider on Hetzner Cloud
spawn goose digitalocean      # Goose on DigitalOcean
spawn codex vultr             # Codex CLI on Vultr

Commands

Command	Description
spawn	Interactive agent + cloud picker
spawn <agent> <cloud>	Launch agent on cloud directly
spawn <agent>	Show available clouds for an agent
spawn list	Full agent x cloud matrix
spawn agents	List all agents
spawn clouds	List all cloud providers

Without the CLI

Every combination also works as a one-liner:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://openrouter.ai/lab/spawn/{cloud}/{agent}.sh)

Non-Interactive

Skip all prompts with environment variables:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-xxxxx \
  spawn claude sprite

Each cloud has its own env vars for auth — see the cloud's README.
