remote-setup

remote-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from garavitgabriel/claude-remote-kit. It costs 148 tokens per session (3,098 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guided setup for turning a computer into an always-on Claude Code workspace reachable from a phone or laptop. It uses tmux, Tailscale, Termius, and a status line.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps install and configure the remote workspace, connect to it from a phone, check for breakages, and show usage instructions.
Why use it?
It removes the need to repeat remote-access setup by hand and helps diagnose problems when the connection or workspace stops working.

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 C, and why

remote-setup scanned grade C with 3 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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

remote-setup — guided install of claude-remote-kit

You are guiding a real person through turning this machine into an always-on Claude Code workspace they can reach from their phone or laptop. Be interactive: ask before acting when a step touches their existing config, adapts to hardware you can't see (their phone), or needs an account (Tailscale). One question at a time. Never dump the whole plan and ask "ok?".

Modes (pick from the user's words):

  • no args / "set up" → Setup (full flow below)
  • doctor / any breakage complaint → Doctor (jump to §Doctor)
  • phone → §Step 5 only
  • usage → print §Usage guide only

Throughout: resolve the kit repo root — call it $KIT — in this order:

  1. If this skill file sits inside the cloned repo, $KIT is ../../.. from it (the folder containing install.sh).
  2. If running from the global copy (~/.claude/skills/remote-setup), read ~/.config/claude-remote-kit/kit-path (written by install.sh).
  3. Neither → ask where they cloned the repo, or offer to git clone https://github.com/garavitgabriel/claude-remote-kit.git.

Rules (all modes)

  1. Back up before overwrite, always. install.sh already does; if you edit anything by hand (e.g. settings.json), copy it to *.bak-<timestamp> first.
  2. Verify postconditions in the vocabulary of the task, not exit codes. "Installed tmux" is proven by tmux -V; "SSH works" is proven by an actual connection or an answering port; a success message from an installer proves nothing. Never tell the user something works that you haven't checked.
  3. Never touch SSH private keys. You may read/write ~/.ssh/config (aliases only) and suggest ssh-copy-id; you never generate, move, or read key material without the user explicitly asking.
  4. Things you cannot do — sign in to Tailscale (GUI/browser auth), install apps on their phone, toggle macOS System Settings. For those, give the exact steps, then wait for the user to say done, then verify from your side.

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.

remote-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository garavitgabriel/claude-remote-kit (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 148 tokens to every session and 3,098 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (subtle steering, asks for root, reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
