reach

reach is a skill for Claude Code from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 226 tokens per session (2,501 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for sending a coding-agent task to another machine over SSH on a private tailnet network. SSH is a protocol for running commands on a remote computer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run an agent turn on a remote Windows or Linux environment, after reading the local fleet configuration.
Why use it?
It avoids relying on agent sessions that are tied to a different machine or account, and explains how to select the correct host and shell.

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

reach 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Getting an agent turn to happen on a machine that is not this one. The obvious route, asking the peer tools to find the other machine's session, does not work here and cannot be made to: the accounts are split on purpose. This carries the route that does, plus the reasons the shortcuts fail, so neither gets rediscovered by trial.

Read ~/.config/fleet/FLEET.md before composing anything. It is rendered per machine from the fleet manifest and carries the real hosts, ports and accounts; the recipes below are the same commands with placeholders where it has values.

Resolve the target first

Machines are addressed by hostname over the tailnet (MagicDNS), never by session name. A session name identifies a session, not a host, and nothing routes on it.

  1. Read ~/.config/fleet/FLEET.md. Done when you can name the target's MagicDNS host name and see its per-host table of reach entries, each carrying an id, transport, ssh alias, port, account and shell.
  2. Pick the reach entry by what the work needs, not by what is first in the table. Agent work goes to wsl-shell (port 2222, the distro account, bash); Windows PowerShell work goes to windows-shell (port 22, ssh-admin, pwsh). Done when you hold a concrete port and account for the command you are about to compose, both read from the table rather than assumed.
  3. If the host is absent from that file it is not a fleet host. Done by saying so and stopping; the manifest is the only inventory, and a guessed name reaches nothing.

Verify the hop before you trust it

Cheap, and it separates "the host is unreachable" from "the agent over there is not signed in":

ssh -p 2222 <wsl-user>@<host> 'hostname && claude -p "echo ok" < /dev/null'

The hostname proves which machine answered. ok proves that machine's Claude is authenticated and working. Do this before sending a long or expensive prompt.

One shot

ssh -p 2222 <wsl-user>@<host> 'claude -p "<prompt>" < /dev/null'

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.

reach is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (16 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 226 tokens to every session and 2,501 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-08.
