It is a CLI, not just a dashboard

Everything the dashboard does, the CLI does too: remoteagent chat, remoteagent exec, remoteagent status, remoteagent doctor. If you live in a terminal, you never have to leave it.

Real commands, not a wrapper

  • remoteagent chat "why is the build failing?" — ask and watch it think.
  • remoteagent exec — run a one-shot tool call.
  • remoteagent doctor — check the install and environment.
  • remoteagent audit — read the audit trail locally.

The sandbox is the point

Commands are argv-based and allowlisted, deletes go to the trash, and the workspace is bounded. You can hand the agent a real task and not worry it will wipe a directory because a web page told it to.

Keys stay yours

Bring your own keys on-device, or use the vault. Either way, nothing is hard-coded in your repo and nothing ends up in git history.

Scriptable and open

The MIT license and a plain HTTP API mean you can build it into CI, cron, or a plugin. The audit trail exports as JSONL if you want to feed it back into training.
