Take a look at portiacrawl
<https://github.com/scrapinghub/portia/blob/master/slybot/bin/portiacrawl>
command
- it basically sets up some environment variables and command line args and
then calls scrapy. The main difference to a typical spider is the use of a
custom spider manager, so that scrapy can work with spiders defined as json.

You should be able to use scrapy extensions with portia. I am not sure
about scrapyd, but as long as you can define the same environment and
scrapy is invoked with the same args it should work.
