Excerpt

Remote Claude Code

Drive Claude Code on a remote Linux host over SSH. Three modes, in increasing interactivity:

Persistent SSH session — one long-lived expect-driven connection you keep feeding commands across turns.
Headless (claude -p) — one-shot or scripted calls, with the stdin fix that naive invocations need.
Interactive TUI — the real Claude Code UI inside a remote tmux session, driven with tmux send-keys / tmux capture-pane. tmux is the way to do interactive use.

Reach for this skill when the user wants to run or drive Claude Code on a server, keep an SSH connection open across turns, or hold a continuous conversation with Claude Code on a remote box.
