environment-switching-local-cloud-ssh

environment-switching-local-cloud-ssh is a command for coding agents from runnithan/claudex-setup. It costs 0 tokens per session (288 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An environment selector in Claude Code for choosing where a task runs: on your computer, in the cloud, or through SSH on a remote machine. SSH is a way to control another computer over a network.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use local execution for work you are watching, cloud execution for routines that must keep running, and SSH for tasks needing a particular remote server, private network, GPU, or storage.
Why use it?
It prevents unattended work from stopping when your computer sleeps or shuts down, while keeping interactive development close to your own machine.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

environment-switching-local-cloud-ssh scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Switch Execution Environment (Local / Cloud / SSH) to Match the Workload

TL;DR

The environment selector at the bottom of Claude Code switches where work executes: local for fast interactive iteration, cloud (Anthropic servers) for routines that must run with your machine off, SSH for driving a remote box like a VPS.

Why it matters

People default to local for everything and then wonder why scheduled work dies when the laptop sleeps. The execution environment is a one-click choice per task: interactive dev wants local speed; unattended automation wants cloud persistence; workloads needing your own infra (GPUs, private network, persistent disk) want SSH.

How to apply

Click the environment indicator (shows "local") at the bottom of the Claude Code window and pick cloud or SSH. Rule of thumb: local for anything you're watching; cloud for routines/scheduled agents; SSH when the job must run on a specific remote machine. Pairs with vps-tmux-telegram-persistent-sessions for the self-hosted variant.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
