/dev/llm/claude	CLI	Claude Code CLI
/dev/llm/cursor	CLI	Cursor CLI
/dev/llm/qwen	CLI	Qwen Code CLI
/dev/llm/ollama	HTTP API	Ollama (local)
/dev/llm/groq	HTTP API	Groq Cloud
/dev/llm/deepseek	HTTP API	DeepSeek API
/dev/llm/gemini	Native API	Google Gemini
/dev/llm/openai	Native API	OpenAI GPT-4, GPT-4o
/dev/llm/anthropic-api	Native API	Claude (via Anthropic SDK)
/dev/llm/<custom>	HTTP API	Any OpenAI-compatible API

10.2 /mnt/mcp/* — MCP Mount Points

Auto-mounted during Spawn, format /mnt/mcp/{pid}-{serverName}. Sub-paths map to MCP protocol operations (see VFS Path Specification §2 for MCP sub-path table).

10.3 /dev/memory/* — Memory Devices

Persistent knowledge management for agents. Three sub-devices:

Path	Description
/dev/memory/commit	Write persistent knowledge entries (add/replace/remove/snapshot/capacity)
/dev/memory/recall	Search historical conversations and extracted knowledge (read-only)
/dev/memory/profile	Manage user profile (role, preferences, expertise)

See VFS Path Specification for detailed request formats.

10.4 /dev/tasks — Task Management

Dynamic task management for agents. Supports task_create, task_update, and task_list operations.

10.5 /dev/tty — Interactive User Q&A

Allows agents to ask the user questions during execution. Questions are forwarded via IPC and block until a response is received.

10.6 /dev/skills/manage — Dynamic Skill Management

Runtime skill lifecycle management. Agents can create, modify, or delete skills programmatically.

10.7 /dev/web — Web Access

Web access capabilities: URL fetching with HTML-to-markdown conversion and web search with domain filtering.

10.8 /dev/lsp — LSP Code Intelligence

Language Server Protocol integration for code intelligence. Supports goToDefinition, findReferences, hover, documentSymbol, and more.

10.9 /dev/cron — Scheduled Jobs

Manages scheduled recurring jobs. When a job triggers, it spawns a new agent process with the configured intent.

11. Extended Type Reference

11.1 Signal Complete Definitions (Phase 2 Update)

Constant	Value	Description
SIGTERM	1	Termination signal (graceful shutdown)
SIGKILL	2	Force kill
SIGINT	3	Interrupt signal
SIGPAUSE	4	Pause reasoning loop
SIGRESUME	5	Resume reasoning loop

11.2 Unified Reasoning Loop

Single reasonStep loop where LLM autonomously selects ActionType each step: tool_call, plan, spawn, complete, specialize, replan, text. planning: true/false (default true) controls whether plan guidance is injected. Built-in circuit breaker: 3 consecutive tool_call/spawn failures trigger automatic termination.

11.3 ExitStatus Exit Code Conventions (Complete)

Code	Reason	Description
0	"completed"	Normal completion
1	"unexpected exit"	Unexpected exit
1	"max steps exceeded"	Exceeded maximum reasoning steps
1	Error description	Error during reasoning
2	"budget_exceeded"	Token budget exceeded
