Spawn

spawn contains ALife spawn file utilities. The engine CLI currently exposes the unpack workflow.

npm run cli -- spawn unpack

Defaults

The command delegates to cli/bin/tools/xrf-cli unpack-spawn.

Options

• -p, --path <path>: source spawn file path.
• -d, --dest <dest>: output directory.
• -v, --verbose: print verbose logs.
• -f, --force: remove an existing unpacked destination before writing.

Examples

npm run cli -- spawn unpack
npm run cli -- spawn unpack --force
npm run cli -- spawn unpack --path src/resources/spawns/all.spawn --dest target/all_spawn

Output

The output directory contains the unpacked spawn representation produced by the XRF tools CLI. The engine wrapper is intended for inspection and verification workflows in this repository; it does not expose pack or repack commands.

Keep generated unpack output under target/ unless you are intentionally preparing source data for another tool.

Failure notes

The source spawn file must exist. Use the Tools CLI spawn commands when you need lower-level spawn info, pack, repack, or verification operations.
