+## 🚀 Advanced: Using Spawners for Full Event Tracking
+
+### What Are Spawners?
+
+**Spawners** are HtmlGraph-integrated ways to invoke external CLIs (Copilot, Gemini, Codex) with **full parent event context and subprocess tracking**.
+
+**CRITICAL: Spawners are invoked DIRECTLY via Python SDK, NOT wrapped in Task(). Task() is ONLY for Claude subagents (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus).**
+
+Instead of running CLI commands directly (which creates "black boxes"), spawners:
+- ✅ Invoke external CLIs directly (not via Task())
+- ✅ Link to parent Task delegation event via environment variables
+- ✅ Record subprocess invocations as child events
+- ✅ Track all activities in HtmlGraph event hierarchy
+- ✅ Provide complete observability of external tool execution
+
+### Three Types of Spawners
+
+| Spawner | Use For | Parent Event | Full Tracking |
+|---------|---------|--------------|---------------|
+| **CopilotSpawner** | Git workflows, version updates, code guidance | ✅ Yes | ✅ Subprocess events recorded |
+| **GeminiSpawner** | Code analysis, exploration, research | ✅ Yes | ✅ Subprocess events recorded |
+| **CodexSpawner** | Code generation, implementation | ✅ Yes | ✅ Subprocess events recorded |
+
+### When to Use Spawners vs Task()
+
+**Use Task() (simple, recommended):**
+```python
+# Task() handles everything automatically
+Task(subagent_type="Explore", prompt="Analyze codebase")
+Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="Implement feature")
+```
+
+**Use Spawners (advanced, when you need):**
+- Direct control over CLI parameters (model, output format, sandbox)
+- Full subprocess event recording in same session
+- Integration with multiple spawners in sequence
+- Access to raw CLI output
+
+### How to Use Spawners with Full Tracking
+
+**CRITICAL: Spawners require parent event context to work properly.**
+
+Parent event context comes from the hook system:
+
+```python
+import os
+import sys
+from pathlib import Path
+from datetime import datetime, timezone
+import uuid
+
+# 1. Add plugin agents directory to path
+PLUGIN_AGENTS_DIR = Path("/path/to/htmlgraph/packages/claude-plugin/.claude-plugin/agents")
+sys.path.insert(0, str(PLUGIN_AGENTS_DIR))
+
+# 2. Import required modules
+from htmlgraph import SDK
+from htmlgraph.orchestration.spawners import CopilotSpawner
+from htmlgraph.db.schema import HtmlGraphDB
+from htmlgraph.config import get_database_path
+from spawner_event_tracker import SpawnerEventTracker
+
+# 3. Initialize database and SDK
+sdk = SDK(agent='claude')
+db = HtmlGraphDB(str(get_database_path()))
+session_id = f"sess-{uuid.uuid4().hex[:8]}"
+db._ensure_session_exists(session_id, "claude")
+
+# 4. CREATE PARENT EVENT CONTEXT (like PreToolUse hook does)
+user_query_event_id = f"event-query-{uuid.uuid4().hex[:8]}"
+parent_event_id = f"event-{uuid.uuid4().hex[:8]}"
+start_time = datetime.now(timezone.utc).strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
+
+# Insert UserQuery event
+db.connection.cursor().execute(
+    """INSERT INTO agent_events
+       (event_id, agent_id, event_type, session_id, tool_name, input_summary, status, created_at)
+       VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)""",
+    (user_query_event_id, "claude-code", "tool_call", session_id, "UserPromptSubmit",
+     "Task description", "completed", start_time)
+)
+
+# Insert Task delegation event
+db.connection.cursor().execute(
+    """INSERT INTO agent_events
+       (event_id, agent_id, event_type, session_id, tool_name, input_summary,
+        context, parent_event_id, subagent_type, status, created_at)
+       VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)""",
+    (parent_event_id, "claude-code", "task_delegation", session_id, "Task",
+     "Task description", '{"subagent_type":"general-purpose"}',
+     user_query_event_id, "general-purpose", "started", start_time)
+)
+db.connection.commit()
+
+# 5. EXPORT PARENT CONTEXT (like PreToolUse hook does)
+os.environ["HTMLGRAPH_PARENT_EVENT"] = parent_event_id
+os.environ["HTMLGRAPH_PARENT_SESSION"] = session_id
+os.environ["HTMLGRAPH_SESSION_ID"] = session_id
+
+# 6. CREATE TRACKER WITH PARENT CONTEXT
+tracker = SpawnerEventTracker(
+    delegation_event_id=parent_event_id,
+    parent_agent="claude",
+    spawner_type="copilot",  # or gemini, codex
+    session_id=session_id
+)
+tracker.db = db
+
+# 7. INVOKE SPAWNER WITH FULL TRACKING
+spawner = CopilotSpawner()  # or GeminiSpawner(), CodexSpawner()
+result = spawner.spawn(
+    prompt="Your task here",
+    track_in_htmlgraph=True,        # Enable SDK tracking
+    tracker=tracker,                 # Enable subprocess tracking
+    parent_event_id=parent_event_id, # Link to parent
+    allow_all_tools=True,           # For Copilot: allow git operations
+    timeout=120
+)
+
+# 8. CHECK RESULTS
+print(f"Success: {result.success}")
+print(f"Response: {result.response}")
+if result.tracked_events:
+    print(f"Tracked {len(result.tracked_events)} events in HtmlGraph")
+```
+
+### Event Hierarchy with Spawners
+
+When using spawners with parent event context, you get:
+
+```
+UserQuery Event (from UserPromptSubmit hook)
+├── Task Delegation Event (from PreToolUse hook)
+    ├── Spawner Start Activity (activity tracking)
+    ├── Subprocess Invocation (subprocess event)
+    │   └── subprocess.copilot tool call
+    ├── Spawner Result Activity (activity tracking)
+    └── All linked with parent_event_id for full observability
+```
+
+### Production: Hook System Handles Parent Context
+
+In production (Claude Code with hooks):
+- **UserPromptSubmit hook** creates UserQuery event
+- **PreToolUse hook** creates Task delegation event + exports HTMLGRAPH_PARENT_EVENT
+- **Your code** calls spawner with parent context already set
+- **Spawner** automatically records subprocess events
+- **Result**: Full event hierarchy without manual setup
+
+### Fallback Pattern: If Spawner Fails → Delegate to Claude Sub-agent
+
+**CRITICAL: External spawner failure → delegate to Claude sub-agent (NOT direct execution).**
+
+```python
+# Try external spawner first
+try:
+    spawner = CopilotSpawner()  # or GeminiSpawner, CodexSpawner
+    result = spawner.spawn(
+        prompt="Task description",
+        track_in_htmlgraph=True,
+        tracker=tracker,
+        parent_event_id=parent_event_id,
+        timeout=120
+    )
+
+    if result.success:
+        return result  # Success - done
+    else:
+        raise Exception(f"Spawner failed: {result.error}")
+
+except Exception as e:
+    # FALLBACK: Spawner failed (CLI not installed, API issues, timeout, etc.)
+    # DELEGATE to Claude sub-agent - do NOT attempt direct execution
+    print(f"⚠️ Spawner failed: {e}")
+    print("📌 Delegating to Claude sub-agent...")
+
+    return Task(
+        subagent_type="general-purpose",  # or "Explore" for exploration
+        prompt="Your task here"
+    )
+    # Task() handles everything: retries, error recovery, parent context
+```
+
+**Why this pattern?**
+- ✅ External CLIs may not be installed on user's system
+- ✅ Network/API/permission issues may affect external tools
+- ✅ Claude sub-agent provides guaranteed execution fallback
+- ✅ Never attempt direct execution as fallback (violates orchestration)
+- ✅ Task() automatically handles parent context, retries, and error recovery
+
+### Key Parameters for All Spawners
+
+```python
+spawner.spawn(
+    prompt="Task description",                    # Required
+    track_in_htmlgraph=True,                      # Enable SDK tracking (default)
+    tracker=tracker,                              # SpawnerEventTracker instance
+    parent_event_id=parent_event_id,              # Link to parent event
+    timeout=120                                   # Max seconds to wait
+    # Plus spawner-specific parameters (model, sandbox, allow_tools, etc.)
+)

+
+### Model Selection Examples
+
+#### ✅ Haiku ($0.80/1M tokens) - Simple Tasks
+```python
+# Example delegations to Haiku
+Task(
+    model="haiku",
+    subagent_type="general-purpose",
+    prompt="Fix typo in README.md line 42: 'recieve' → 'receive'"
+)
+
+Task(
+    model="haiku",
+    subagent_type="general-purpose",
+    prompt="Add type hints to get_user() function in user_service.py"
+)
+
+Task(
+    model="haiku",
+    subagent_type="general-purpose",
+    prompt="Update version number in pyproject.toml to 0.26.6"
+)
+```
+
+**Use Haiku when:**
+- Single file, clear instructions
+- Typo fixes, config updates
+- Rename/move operations
+- Adding tests to existing code
+- Documentation updates
+
+#### ✅ Sonnet ($3/1M tokens) - Moderate Tasks [DEFAULT]
+```python
+# Example delegations to Sonnet
+Task(
+    model="sonnet",
+    subagent_type="general-purpose",
+    prompt="Implement JWT authentication middleware with token refresh and tests"
+)
+
+Task(
+    model="sonnet",
+    subagent_type="general-purpose",
+    prompt="Refactor user_service.py to use repository pattern, update 5 affected files"
+)
+
+Task(
+    model="sonnet",
+    subagent_type="general-purpose",
+    prompt="Add caching layer to API endpoints with Redis integration"
+)
+```
+
+**Use Sonnet when:**
+- Multi-file feature implementation
+- Module-level refactors
+- Component integration
+- API development
+- Bug fixes requiring investigation
+- **Default choice for most tasks**
+
+#### ✅ Opus ($15/1M tokens) - Complex Tasks
+```python
+# Example delegations to Opus
+Task(
+    model="opus",
+    subagent_type="general-purpose",
+    prompt="Design and implement distributed caching architecture with Redis across 15 services"
+)
+
+Task(
+    model="opus",
+    subagent_type="general-purpose",
+    prompt="Refactor authentication system to support multi-tenancy, affects 20+ files"
+)
+
+Task(
+    model="opus",
+    subagent_type="general-purpose",
+    prompt="Optimize database schema and queries to reduce load by 90%, analyze bottlenecks"
+)
+```
+
+**Use Opus when:**
+- System architecture design
+- Large-scale refactors (10+ files)
+- Performance optimization with profiling
+- Security-sensitive implementations
+- Requirements are ambiguous (<70% clear)
+- **High stakes where wrong design > model cost**
+
+### Cost Optimization Strategy
+
+1. **Start with Sonnet (default)** - Handles 70% of tasks well
+2. **Downgrade to Haiku** - When task is clearly simple
+3. **Escalate to Opus** - Only when truly needed for complexity
+
+### Anti-Patterns
+
+❌ **Don't over-engineer:**
+```python
+# BAD: Opus for simple task
+Task(model="opus", prompt="Fix typo in README")
+# Wastes $15/1M tokens (18x more expensive than needed)
+```
+
+❌ **Don't under-estimate:**
+```python
+# BAD: Haiku for complex architecture
+Task(model="haiku", prompt="Design microservices architecture")
+# Produces shallow, inadequate design
+```
+
+### When in Doubt
+
+**Default to Sonnet** - Best balance of capability and cost.
+
+If Sonnet struggles or produces inadequate results, escalate to Opus for the retry.
+
+---
+
+## Configurable Thresholds
+
+Delegation enforcement uses configurable thresholds instead of hardcoded values:
+
+**Default Thresholds:**
+- `exploration_calls: 5` - Consecutive Grep/Read/Glob before warning
+- `circuit_breaker_violations: 5` - Violations before blocking operations
+- `violation_decay_seconds: 120` - Violations older than 2 minutes don't count
+- `rapid_sequence_window: 10` - Commands within 10s count as one violation
+
+**View/Modify Configuration:**
+```bash
+# Show current configuration
+uv run htmlgraph orchestrator config-show
+
+# Adjust threshold
+uv run htmlgraph orchestrator config-set thresholds.exploration_calls 7
+
+# Reset to defaults
+uv run htmlgraph orchestrator config-reset
+```
+
+**Time-Based Decay:** Violations automatically expire after 2 minutes (configurable).
+This prevents long-running sessions from accumulating stale violations.
+
+**Rapid Sequence Collapsing:** Multiple violations within 10 seconds count as one.
+This prevents "violation spam" when you make quick exploratory mistakes.
+
+---

+
+When you call `Skill(skill=".claude-plugin:copilot")`, here's what happens:
+
+1. **Load documentation** - The skill file is read and displayed
+2. **Show examples** - Real CLI commands are presented
+3. **Embedded coordination** - Python code may check for external CLIs
+4. **Guide execution** - Shows HOW to use Bash or Task() for actual work

-**ALWAYS choose the cheapest/best model for each task:**
+### Real Example: GitHub Operations
 
-### 1. Exploration/Research → spawn_gemini() [FREE!]
+**❌ MISCONCEPTION:**
 ```python
-from htmlgraph.orchestration import HeadlessSpawner
-spawner = HeadlessSpawner()
+# This does NOT create a pull request
+Skill(skill=".claude-plugin:copilot", args="Create PR for auth feature")
+# Result: You see documentation about how to use gh CLI
+#         No PR is created
+```
+
+**✅ CORRECT APPROACH:**
+```python
+# Option 1: Read docs, then execute
+Skill(skill=".claude-plugin:copilot")  # Learn gh CLI syntax
+Bash("gh pr create --title 'Add auth' --body 'JWT implementation'")  # Actually create PR
+
+# Option 2: Direct execution (if you know the syntax)
+Bash("gh pr create --title 'Add auth' --body 'JWT implementation'")
+
+# Option 3: Delegate to subagent
+Task(prompt="Create PR for auth feature with title and description")
+```
 
-result = spawner.spawn_gemini(
-    prompt="Analyze all authentication patterns in codebase",
-    model="gemini-2.0-flash-exp"
+### Each Skill Has "EXECUTION" Section
+
+Every skill file now includes an "EXECUTION" section showing real commands to use via Bash:
+
+**Example from Copilot skill:**
+```bash
+# EXECUTION - Real Commands to Use in Bash Tool:
+gh pr create --title "Feature X" --body "Description"
+gh issue create --title "Bug" --body "Details"
+gh repo clone user/repo
+```
+
+**Example from Gemini skill:**
+```python
+# EXECUTION - Real Commands for Exploration:
+Task(
+    subagent_type="Explore",
+    prompt="Analyze authentication patterns"
 )
-# Cost: FREE (vs $15-25 with Task)
 ```
 
-### 2. Code Implementation → spawn_codex() [70% cheaper]
+**Example from Codex skill:**
+```python
+# EXECUTION - Real Commands for Code Generation:
+Task(
+    subagent_type="general-purpose",
+    prompt="Generate API endpoint with tests"
+)
+```
+
+### When to Use Skills
+
+**Use Skills for:**
+- ✅ Learning CLI syntax and options
+- ✅ Understanding available commands
+- ✅ Seeing example workflows
+- ✅ Reference documentation
+
+**Don't use Skills for:**
+- ❌ Actual execution (use Bash or Task instead)
+- ❌ Creating PRs, issues, or repos (use Bash with gh commands)
+- ❌ Code generation (use Task delegation)
+- ❌ Exploration work (use Task delegation)
+
+### Summary
+
+1. **Skills = Documentation** - They teach you HOW to use tools
+2. **Bash = Direct Execution** - Actually runs CLI commands
+3. **Task = Delegation** - Subagents read docs and execute
+4. **Always check EXECUTION section** in skills for real commands

+## Cost-Optimized Agent Selection
+
+**ALWAYS choose the cheapest/best agent for each task:**
+
+**Priority order: Skills (for learning) → Bash (for direct CLI execution) → Task() (for delegation)**
+
+### 1. Exploration/Research → Task() Delegation [PRIMARY]
 ```python
-result = spawner.spawn_codex(
-    prompt="Implement JWT authentication middleware",
-    model="gpt-4"
+# PRIMARY: Direct Task() delegation to Explore agent
+Task(
+    subagent_type="Explore",
+    prompt="Analyze all authentication patterns in codebase"
 )
-# Cost: $3-5 (vs $10-15 with Task)
+
+# If you need to learn about exploration capabilities first:
+Skill(skill=".claude-plugin:gemini")  # Read documentation about exploration
+# Then delegate: Task(subagent_type="Explore", prompt="...")
+
+# IMPORTANT: Skill() does NOT perform exploration - it shows capabilities
+# You must use Task() to actually delegate exploration work
+
+# Cost: Standard Claude rates based on model selected
+# See /gemini skill for exploration patterns and examples
 ```
 
-### 3. Git/GitHub Operations → spawn_copilot() [60% cheaper]
+### 2. Code Implementation → Task() Delegation [PRIMARY]
 ```python
-result = spawner.spawn_copilot(
-    prompt="Commit changes and push to origin/main",
-    allow_all_tools=True
+# PRIMARY: Direct Task() delegation based on complexity
+Task(
+    subagent_type="general-purpose",
+    model="sonnet",  # haiku for simple, opus for complex
+    prompt="Implement JWT authentication middleware with tests"
 )
-# Cost: $2-3 (vs $5-10 with Task)
+
+# If you need to learn about code generation capabilities first:
+Skill(skill=".claude-plugin:codex")  # Read documentation about code generation
+# Then delegate: Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="...")
+
+# IMPORTANT: Skill() does NOT generate code - it shows capabilities
+# You must use Task() to actually delegate code generation work
+
+# Cost: Based on model selected (haiku: $0.80/1M, sonnet: $3/1M, opus: $15/1M)
+# See /codex skill for code generation patterns and examples
 ```
 
-### 4. Strategic Planning → Task(Opus) [Expensive but needed]
+### 3. Git/GitHub Operations → Direct Bash Execution [PRIMARY]
 ```python
+# PRIMARY: Direct gh CLI execution via Bash
+Bash("gh pr create --title 'Add JWT auth' --body 'Implements middleware'")

+# If you need to learn gh CLI syntax first:
+Skill(skill=".claude-plugin:copilot")  # Read documentation

+
+# IMPORTANT: Skill() does NOT create PRs - it shows HOW to create them
+# You must use Bash to actually execute gh commands
+
+# Cost: Minimal (direct command execution)
+# See /copilot skill for gh CLI syntax reference
+```
+
+### 4. Strategic Planning → Task(Opus) [Only when Skills unavailable]
