remote-crew-microvm

remote-crew-microvm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kirodotdev/KiroCrew. It costs 64 tokens per session (2,955 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for running a temporary crew inside an AWS Lambda MicroVM, a small isolated cloud machine. The machine's disk and conversations disappear when AWS ends it, and the maximum lifetime cannot be extended.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check configuration, launch and reach a remote crew, and tear it down when finished.
Why use it?
It makes the setup and teardown steps explicit and warns that work stored only on the temporary machine will be lost.

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

remote-crew-microvm 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Running a remote crew on an AWS Lambda MicroVM

A crew on this lane runs inside a MicroVM that the platform terminates at a maximum lifetime it will not extend. That clock is the whole shape of the lane, and almost every surprise on it comes from the one fact below.

The crew's home lives on the VM's disk and goes away with the VM. Nothing on this lane copies it anywhere: no suspend, no archive, no reopen. When the VM goes, the conversations go. Say that plainly to anyone who asks what a crew here keeps, and say it BEFORE they put work into one.

Before anything else: the lane is offered only when its block is complete.

An incomplete microvm block publishes no provisioner row at all, which is the deliberate choice: a row whose every launch is refused is worse than no row. So the first thing to do is READ the provisioner list, not assume. If the microvm row is absent, the block is incomplete and the missing field is the thing to find -- most often activation_role_arn, which the AWS call that enrols the crew refuses to run without, or bundle_dir, which a block that will build an image also requires.

Completeness is judged on every request, so a correct edit shows up immediately with no restart.

Two numbers that decide everything.

1 hour the lifetime a launch asks for when the operator sets none. Raisable through wall_seconds; it is this short because the home is not kept past it
28,800 seconds the platform's own maximum, and the ceiling on wall_seconds. Not adjustable and nothing extends it

First: is the lane even configured?

Do this before anything else, and do not infer it from the presence of an AWS profile. The lane is offered only when its configuration is complete; an incomplete block leaves it unregistered rather than registered and refusing.

GET /api/cloud/provisioners

Look for a row with "id": "microvm". Three outcomes, and they mean different things:

  • the row is there — the lane is offered and configured. Note its confirm_before_launch string exactly as written; you need it verbatim to launch.
  • no microvm row, but aws_ec2 is there — this is the expected answer today. The lane is withheld until its guest half lands, and it is also what an incomplete block looks like. Do not try to tell the two apart by guessing: report that the lane is not available yet, and only walk through the configuration below if the operator asks for it knowing it will not launch.
  • the request fails — this is not a lane problem. Report it as it is.

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.
