How does it decide which Azure VM size to use?

The skill analyzes your request keywords; simple tasks use small (8GB) VMs, while complex or 'massive' tasks trigger large (128GB) or extra-large (256GB) instances.

What is the Remote Work skill for Claude Code?

It is a specialized capability that allows Claude to run complex coding tasks on remote Azure Virtual Machines instead of your local environment to save resources and time.

Do I need to configure Azure manually?

You must have the azlin tool configured on your system (via 'azlin configure') for the skill to successfully provision and manage the remote resources.

Where can I find the results of a remote task?

Execution logs are stored locally in ~/.amplihack/.claude/runtime/logs/remote/ and code changes are typically pushed to a specific git branch namespace for review.

Is it safe to run code remotely with this skill?

Yes, the skill includes automated checks to block execution if hardcoded secrets are detected and isolates work on separate VMs to protect your local environment.

Cloud Infrastructure

Executes and offloads intensive coding tasks to remote Azure Virtual Machines with automated resource provisioning.

The Azure Remote Work skill enables Claude to scale its capabilities by offloading long-running, resource-intensive, or risky coding tasks to dedicated Azure VMs. It streamlines the remote execution process by automatically detecting region preferences from natural language, recommending optimal VM sizes (from 8GB to 256GB RAM) based on task complexity, and managing the lifecycle of the remote environment. This allows developers to maintain local performance while leveraging cloud compute for large-scale refactoring, comprehensive analysis, and isolated experimental builds within the amplihack framework.
