Instar Session
JKHeadley/instarSpawn, monitor, and communicate with persistent Claude Code sessions running in the background. Use when a task needs to run without blocking the current session, when the user asks to do something in the background, or when a long-running task needs its own context window. Trigger words: background task, spawn session, persistent, run in background, parallel, separate session, async task.
