remobi-setup

An interactive setup guide for remobi, a mobile terminal overlay that lets you monitor and control terminal sessions such as tmux from a phone.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure remobi, inspect tmux settings, create a validated configuration file, and prepare phone access to development sessions.
Why use it?
It helps detect prerequisites and existing terminal settings, then prepares a configuration suited to the user's workflow.

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

remobi-setup 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 2d 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.

remobi-setup

Interactive onboarding skill for remobi — monitor and control tmux (or zellij, herdr) from your phone.

This skill walks the user through setup in one conversation. The guiding principle: detect everything possible, default everything sensible, ask only what requires human intent. Most users answer 1-3 questions total.

Workflow

Phase 1: Welcome and understand (1 question)

Open with a one-liner confirming what they're getting, then ask what brings them here:

"remobi puts your tmux session on your phone — same panes, same windows, touch controls on top. Everything we set up here you can change later."

"What brings you to remobi? For example: monitoring coding agents from your phone, getting phone access to your dev sessions, or just curious to try it out."

Map the answer to a persona internally (don't tell the user their "persona"):

Persona Signals Downstream effect
Agent Watcher Mentions coding agents, Claude Code, Codex, AI, monitoring Auto-zoom on, floating zoom button, double-tap zoom enabled, lean config, minimal questions
Remote Dev Mentions tmux, SSH, dev workflow, existing setup Inspect config thoroughly, offer popup drawer buttons, ask about auto-zoom
Newcomer Says curious, trying it out, heard about it, no specific use case Offer tmux setup, explain concepts, auto-zoom on, sensible defaults

If the answer is ambiguous, lean towards Agent Watcher — it's the most common path and the defaults work well for everyone.

Phase 2: Environment and tmux setup

Check prerequisites

Run silently, then report what's present vs missing:

node --version          # need >= 22
tmux -V                 # default target multiplexer
which zellij            # alternative multiplexer (see zellij path below)
which herdr             # alternative multiplexer (see herdr path below)
which remobi            # npm install -g remobi

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.
