pan start <id> — spawn a work agent for an issue in its own terminal-backend pane and workspace.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# pan start

Run the command now:

```bash
pan start <issue-id>
```

## Usage

```
pan start PAN-123          # Spawn agent for issue PAN-123
pan start MIN-456          # Works with any tracker prefix
pan start PAN-123 --force  # Clear a paused agent gate and start anyway
pan start PAN-123 --host   # Break-glass: bypass workspace Docker stack-health gate
pan reset-session PAN-123  # Clear mutable saved-session pointers before a fresh start
pan start PAN-123 --fresh  # Start fresh only when no resumable session remains
pan start PAN-123 --harness codex  # Explicitly use the Codex harness
pan start PAN-123 --model gpt-5.6-sol --effort high  # Pin the work model and Claude Code effort
pan start PAN-123 --plan-model k3 --model k3  # Auto-plan AND work on Kimi k3
pan start PAN-123 --remote --tier durable  # Remote Fly.io workspace with persistent volume
pan start PAN-123 --remote --tier ephemeral  # Remote Fly.io workspace that winds down on stale heartbeat
pan start PAN-123 --machine desk  # Start the issue agent on the linked machine "desk"
pan start PAN-123 --machine auto --needs docker --push-first  # Auto placement by load, docker required
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eltmon/overdeck/pan-start@sha256:5a84cea527c1bf44

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.4758883, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
