What it does

Remote is an agent skill from alsk1992/CloddsBot. SSH tunnels, ngrok, and remote access management

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `index.ts`).

It works with Cloudflare. The repository describes itself as: Open Source AI trading agent that operates autonomously across 1000+ markets - Polymarket, Kalshi, Binance, Hyperliquid, Solana DEXs, 5 EVM chains. Scans for edge, executes… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/remote”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN
  • A credential in CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_TOKEN

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use Cloudflare for production — More stable than ngrok
  2. Secure with auth — Don't expose without protection
  3. Monitor connections — Watch for disconnections
  4. Close unused tunnels — Don't leave open indefinitely

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c930628. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN
    • CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Remote loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 113 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

  • WarningMentions a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud or package-manager tokens)SKILL.md:58
    sshKeyPath: '~/.ssh/id_rsa',
  • WarningMentions a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud or package-manager tokens)SKILL.md:102
    privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/id_rsa'),

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

TypeScript API Reference

Create Remote Manager
typescript
import { createRemoteManager } from 'clodds/remote';

const remote = createRemoteManager({
  // ngrok auth
  ngrokAuthToken: process.env.NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN,

  // Cloudflare tunnel
  cloudflareToken: process.env.CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_TOKEN,

  // SSH key
  sshKeyPath: '~/.ssh/id_rsa',

  // Auto-reconnect
  autoReconnect: true,
  reconnectDelayMs: 5000,
});
Create ngrok Tunnel
typescript
const tunnel = await remote.createNgrokTunnel({
  port: 3000,
  protocol: 'http',  // 'http' | 'tcp' | 'tls'

  // Optional
  subdomain: 'my-clodds',  // Requires paid plan
  authToken: process.env.NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN,
});

console.log(`Public URL: ${tunnel.url}`);
console.log(`Tunnel ID: ${tunnel.id}`);
Create Cloudflare Tunnel
typescript
const tunnel = await remote.createCloudflareTunnel({
  port: 3000,
  hostname: 'clodds.example.com',
  token: process.env.CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_TOKEN,
});

console.log(`URL: ${tunnel.url}`);
Create SSH Tunnel
typescript
const tunnel = await remote.createSshTunnel({
  localPort: 3000,
  remoteHost: 'server.example.com',
  remotePort: 80,
  username: 'deploy',
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/id_rsa'),
});

console.log(`Tunnel established`);
console.log(`Access via: ssh -L 3000:localhost:80 deploy@server.example.com`);
List Tunnels
typescript
const tunnels = remote.listTunnels();

for (const tunnel of tunnels) {
  console.log(`${tunnel.id}: ${tunnel.type}`);
  console.log(`  URL: ${tunnel.url}`);
  console.log(`  Port: ${tunnel.port}`);
  console.log(`  Status: ${tunnel.status}`);
  console.log(`  Created: ${tunnel.createdAt}`);
}
Check Status
typescript
const status = await remote.getStatus(tunnelId);

console.log(`Status: ${status.status}`);  // 'connected' | 'reconnecting' | 'disconnected'
console.log(`Uptime: ${status.uptimeMs}ms`);
console.log(`Bytes in: ${status.bytesIn}`);
console.log(`Bytes out: ${status.bytesOut}`);
Close Tunnel
typescript
// Close single tunnel
await remote.closeTunnel(tunnelId);

// Close all tunnels
await remote.closeAll();
Event Handlers
typescript
remote.on('connected', (tunnel) => {
  console.log(`Tunnel connected: ${tunnel.url}`);
});

remote.on('disconnected', (tunnel) => {
  console.log(`Tunnel disconnected: ${tunnel.id}`);
});

remote.on('error', (tunnel, error) => {
  console.error(`Tunnel error: ${error.message}`);
});

Use Cases

Expose Webhook Endpoint
typescript
// Expose local server for webhook testing
const tunnel = await remote.createNgrokTunnel({ port: 3000 });
console.log(`Set webhook URL to: ${tunnel.url}/webhooks/trading-signals`);
Remote Bot Access
typescript
// Access bot from phone while at home
const tunnel = await remote.createCloudflareTunnel({
  port: 3000,
  hostname: 'clodds.mysite.com',
});
// Now access at https://clodds.mysite.com

Best Practices

  1. Use Cloudflare for production — More stable than ngrok
  2. Secure with auth — Don't expose without protection
  3. Monitor connections — Watch for disconnections
  4. Close unused tunnels — Don't leave open indefinitely

What licence does Remote use?

Remote is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Remote use?

About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
