You just prepend /offload to a prompt, and it will run on /goal on another device (like a Mac Mini, it can also set-up a VPS for you). It handles details like moving env keys safely, making sure you're signed-into gh, pinning the right versions of any tools or dependencies, tunnelling securely to display your dev servers, etc. You can intervene directly via the Remote Control feature in Claude Code or Codex. I found it way too tedious to maintain my own VPS for dev work, and I found the cloud agent stuff for Claude Code and Codex annoying also. Also, other options doesn't support OpenCode + OpenRouter, using different harnesses within the same project, etc.
