Can I run multiple instances at once?

Yes, the skill uses timestamps and AWS profiles to generate unique stack names, allowing you to maintain multiple independent cloud environments.

How does it handle GitHub security?

The skill generates a unique SSH deploy key for the specific repository you provide and adds it to GitHub with write access, ensuring secure and isolated repository management for that instance.

What AWS permissions are required?

The user must provide an AWS CLI profile with permissions to create and manage EC2 instances, CloudFormation stacks, and EC2 key pairs.

Is it easy to clean up resources?

Yes, the skill includes a cleanup command that deletes the CloudFormation stack, removes the EC2 key pair, revokes the GitHub deploy key, and deletes local temporary files.

What does this skill install on the EC2 instance?

It installs Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Node.js 20, Claude Code, Playwright (with Chromium), tmux, git, beads (bd) for task tracking, and agent-deck for session management.

Cloud Infrastructure

Provisions a pre-configured Ubuntu 24.04 EC2 environment optimized for Claude Code with Playwright, task tracking, and session management.

About

This skill automates the deployment of a robust cloud development environment specifically tailored for Claude Code users on AWS. It handles the entire infrastructure-as-code process, including CloudFormation stack creation, SSH key management, and GitHub deploy key configuration to ensure secure, per-repository access. The resulting instance comes pre-installed with a full suite of development tools—including Playwright for headless browser testing, beads for task tracking, and agent-deck for session management—making it ideal for developers who need a powerful, remote, and isolated sandbox for AI-driven coding tasks without manual setup.

Key Features

Built-in task tracking with beads and session management via agent-deck
Pre-installed Claude Code, Playwright, tmux, and git
Support for multiple unique instances per AWS account using timestamps
Integrated GitHub deploy key management for secure repository access
1 GitHub stars
Automated Ubuntu 24.04 LTS EC2 provisioning via CloudFormation

Use Cases

Setting up a remote sandbox for Claude Code to perform intensive browser automation tasks
Spinning up a cloud-based dev box to offload resource-heavy AI coding from a local machine
Deploying a standardized development environment for specific GitHub repositories with automated SSH access
