thurbox-remote-hosts

thurbox-remote-hosts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Thurbeen/thurbox. It costs 0 tokens per session (5,121 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to running Thurbox sessions on remote computers through SSH or inside Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which runs Linux environments on Windows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure SSH hosts or WSL distributions, start shared remote sessions, manage remote worktrees, and troubleshoot host-specific behavior.
Why use it?
It explains how remote hosts, worktrees, terminal sessions, paths, hooks, and cleanup are coordinated when the interface runs locally but the work runs elsewhere.

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

thurbox-remote-hosts 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.

Thurbox remote SSH and WSL hosts

Working reference extracted from CLAUDE.md, which indexes it. The rationale behind these decisions is owned by the docs under docs/; a change that invalidates what this says updates it in the same PR.

Remote SSH & WSL Sessions

Sessions can run on an off-local host while the TUI runs locally: a remote machine over SSH, or a local WSL distro (wsl.exe). A WSL distro is modeled as "SSH without the ssh" — the only difference is the launch prefix (wsl.exe -d <distro> vs ssh <dest>); tmux, git, the agent, and the worktrees all run inside the distro at native Linux paths, so everything downstream of the launcher (control-mode protocol, POSIX quoting, worktree layout) is identical to the SSH path — no wslpath translation. Hosts are declared as data in ~/.config/thurbox/hosts.toml (seeded commented-out; fresh install = zero SSH hosts, behaves as before), plus WSL distros are auto-discovered on Windows (wsl.exe -l -q) with no config. The seeded file documents every field inline; the schema:

# An SSH host (the default kind):
[[hosts]]
name = "devbox"               # required — backend id "ssh:devbox"; what --host expects
destination = "me@devbox"     # required for ssh — target ("user@host" or ~/.ssh/config alias)
ssh_opts = ["-o", "ControlMaster=auto", "-o", "ControlPersist=10m", "-o", "ServerAliveInterval=15"]
                              # optional (default []) — extra ssh flags; no ~ expansion, use abs paths
socket = "thurbox"            # optional (default "thurbox") — host `tmux -L` socket
session = "thurbox"           # optional (default "thurbox") — host tmux session name
worktrees_dir = "/home/me/.local/share/thurbox/worktrees"
                              # optional — abs worktrees dir on the host
multiplexer = "tmux"          # optional (default "tmux") — set "psmux" for a Windows SSH host

# A WSL distro (only needed to OVERRIDE auto-discovery, e.g. a custom worktrees_dir):
[[hosts]]
name = "ubuntu"               # → backend "wsl:ubuntu"; what --host expects
kind = "wsl"                  # required to select the WSL transport
distro = "Ubuntu-22.04"       # optional (default = name) — the wsl.exe distro name

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.

thurbox-remote-hosts is a skill published in the GitHub repository Thurbeen/thurbox (60 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 5,121 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
