thurbox: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/thurbox-remote-hosts/SKILL.md

thurbox-remote-hosts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Thurbeen/thurbox. It costs 0 tokens per session (12,777 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.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — built for aider. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is Thurbeen/thurbox's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on thurbox itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything thurbox configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/me/.local/share/thurbox/worktrees.

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 indexed by AGENTS.md. 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 (wsl.exe -l -q) with no config — on Windows and, via interop, from inside a distro as well. What discovery never offers is the distro thurbox is running in: a loopback (HostDef::is_wsl_loopback, keyed on $WSL_DISTRO_NAME) is this machine, so sessions on it are local. It is dropped from both halves of the registry — discovered and configured (the configured one with a warning). A configured host that reaches a sibling but is named after the current distro (shadows_current_wsl_distro) registers as wsl:<us> and is therefore indistinguishable from a loopback row. It is kept exactly as written — it works — and what it costs instead is the repair, for that one name: the rows under it are the bug's local rows and the host's own sibling rows at once, so both rewrites are wrong for half of them and neither is attempted (a notice says so, counted with rows_recorded_on and skipped when the claimed spelling holds no row). That is one case of a general rule — the repair never rewrites a spelling a host it still serves registers under, including a dropped loopback's own free-label name, which auto-discovery may hand straight to a real sibling. Rows a released build already relabelled wsl:<us> (being shareable by default, the loopback was mirrored, and its "host" database was this database, so the pass rewrote our own local rows as remote) are put back by a one-time repair rather than by the migration: schema v47 only marks it owed, and session_ops::repair_wsl_loopback_rows runs it from every startup that opens the database — the TUI boot and the thurbox-cli entrypoint. Siblings stay ordinary hosts. The seeded file documents every field inline; the schema:

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.
