Cloud Agent 🐕☁️

Deploy GCP VMs for AI coding agents - run long tasks while you're away

Cloud Agent lets you spin up a Google Cloud VM, deploy your repositories, and run AI coding agents remotely. Perfect for tasks that take hours - start your task, close your laptop, and check back later.

What is Cloud Agent?

Cloud Agent is a CLI tool that:

  • 🚀 Creates GCP VMs optimized for AI coding agents
  • 📦 Clones your repositories to the cloud VM
  • 🔐 Transfers credentials (SSH keys, agent auth) securely
  • 🤖 Runs AI agents like Auggie or Claude Code remotely
  • 💻 Provides easy SSH access with automatic tmux sessions

Why Use Cloud Agent?

Run Long Tasks Without Your Laptop

AI coding agents can take hours to complete complex tasks. With Cloud Agent:

  1. Deploy your repo to a cloud VM
  2. Start the agent in tmux
  3. Detach and close your laptop
  4. Check back later for results

Full GCP Access

Your cloud agent VM has access to GCP resources:

  • Compute Engine instances
  • GKE clusters
  • Cloud Storage
  • BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and more

Secure by Default

  • SSH key-based authentication only
  • Firewall rules whitelist your IP
  • Credentials transferred securely via SCP

Supported Agents

Agent Status Description
Auggie ✅ Supported Augment Code's AI coding assistant
Claude Code ✅ Supported Anthropic's Claude for coding

Quick Example

# Deploy current repo with default agent (Auggie)
ca

# Deploy specific repo with Claude
ca --agent claude git@github.com:org/repo.git

# SSH into your VM
ca ssh

# List your VMs
ca list
