remote-offload

remote-offload is a skill for Claude Code from bam-bam-2/solo-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (2,000 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for sending heavy jobs such as scraping, video encoding, builds, or bulk API collection from a low-memory laptop to another computer over SSH, a secure remote connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run heavy commands remotely, start background jobs, transfer project scripts, and collect outputs and logs in the defined workspace.
Why use it?
It keeps demanding work from exhausting the laptop's memory or interrupting other applications, and stops when the remote machine is unavailable.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ssh remote-host 'cd ~/Projects/<프로젝트>/offload && node jobs/job.js'.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00061 $0.02000
Opus 5 $0.00030 $0.01000

Security

Grade A, and why

remote-offload 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/offload.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

원격 머신 오프로딩

이 스킬이 시스템에 하는 일 (설치 전 확인)

  • ~/.ssh/config에 등록된 원격 호스트로 SSH 접속해 명령을 실행합니다.
  • 원격이 응답하지 않으면 로컬로 대체 실행하지 않고 중단합니다. 의도된 동작입니다.
  • 새 파일이나 상주 프로세스를 만들지 않습니다. --bg 사용 시 원격에 로그 파일(/tmp/offload-*.log) 하나가 남습니다.

바로 쓰는 스크립트

scripts/offload.sh — 무거운 작업을 원격 기기로 넘깁니다.

./scripts/offload.sh "python heavy_scraper.py"
./scripts/offload.sh --dir ~/Projects/app "npm run build"
./scripts/offload.sh --bg "ffmpeg -i in.mov -c:v libx264 out.mp4"   # 백그라운드

원격이 죽어 있으면 로컬로 폴백하지 않고 그냥 멈춥니다. 메모리 부족으로 노트북이 죽는 걸 막기 위해서입니다.

Aside 돌아가는 기기 오프로딩 대상
기기 MacBook Air, Apple M1 Mac mini, Apple M4
8 GB (상시 부족, 압축 2.6GB / 여유 70MB 수준) 16 GB
절전 사용자가 덮으면 멈춤 pmset sleep 0 — 안 잠듦
디스크 여유 200 GB 54 GB

맥북에어는 램이 모자라 크로미움이 백그라운드 탭을 강제 종료한다. 로컬에서 무거운 걸 돌리면 사용자의 탭이 죽는다. 무거운 건 원격 머신로 넘기는 게 기본값이다.

접속

ssh remote-host          # Tailscale (REMOTE_IP) — 기본으로 이걸 쓴다
ssh remote-host-lan      # 같은 LAN일 때 (remote-host.local)

비대화형에서는 -o BatchMode=yes -o ConnectTimeout=10을 붙인다. PATH가 필요한 명령(brew 설치물 등)은 ssh remote-host 'bash -lc "..."'로 로그인 셸을 태운다.

작업공간 규약

~/Projects/<프로젝트>/offload/
├── run.sh          러너 (아래 참조)
├── jobs/           실행할 스크립트를 여기로 scp
├── out/            산출물 (이미지, csv, json 등)
├── logs/           <JOB_ID>.log / .pid / .cmd.sh
└── node_modules/   playwright 설치됨

기존 프로젝트 작업은 ~/Projects/<repo>에서 그대로 하고, 일회성 오프로딩만 여기를 쓴다.

판단 기준

넘긴다

  • 헤드리스 스크래핑, 특히 여러 페이지 순회 (로그인 불필요한 공개 페이지)
  • ffmpeg 인코딩, GIF 생성, 이미지 대량 변환
  • npm install, next build, 대형 저장소 clone
  • 대량 API 수집 (수백~수천 건 페이지네이션)
  • 수십 MB 이상 파일 파싱/집계
  • 30초 넘게 걸릴 것 같은 CPU 작업 전부
  • 긴 문서/영상 스크립트 읽고 요약 (아래 claude -p 레시피)

안 넘긴다

  • 사용자의 로그인 세션·쿠키가 필요한 브라우징 → Aside 브라우저에서 해야 함
  • 사용자가 화면으로 확인해야 하는 UI 조작
  • 몇 초 안에 끝나는 단순 조회 (ssh 왕복이 더 느림)
  • 사용자 개인 파일이 맥북에어에만 있는 경우 (전송 비용 판단 후 결정)

표준 패턴: 스크립트를 보내서 실행

ssh + bash -lc + heredoc을 중첩하면 따옴표가 반드시 깨진다. 로컬에 파일로 쓰고 scp로 보낸 뒤 실행한다.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
