I use Claude Code + eternal terminal + tailscale + tmux + some custom skills to get notifications through nfty.sh.

I get the same UX on every platform, works perfectly on very low bandwith environments such as in a cabin, in the subway or in the middle of nowhere.

I tried using other harness such as Pi and opencode but I did not like them. If Claude Code gets weird I can swap in an instant.

You just need to follow this guide and disable artifacts in Claude Code's config: https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/agent_integrations...

What makes it run well on low bandwidth environments? Is it eternal terminal? (I am not familiar with that).

I found that ssh is pretty bad in these scenarios, so my usual herdr over a phone doesn't always work properly.

Now I'm using paseo which in principle solves my issues properly, but unfortunately it's "reconnection" and state sync is pretty slow (probably going over their servers).

Yes Eternal Terminal has been a godsend for bad connectivity and switching networks.

The other part is that since SSH only sends the changes on the screen, it uses very little bandwidth.

Try Eternal Terminal it's very easy to setup and is just a simple layer over SSH.

My main gripe is latency. Typing out letters with bad connectivity is very error prone - a native text box is all I would need, but I will give it a try.

I’m curious about your use of Tailscale, is that for you to reach a local LLM remotely from anywhere?

I have a big beefy desktop at home which I ssh (using EternalTerminal instead of raw port 22) into. I built it last summer right before the prices got very expensive. It's headless so I use a cheap Macbook Air to connect to it at home and I use Termux on my phone to continue working from everywhere.

Dude prompt your agent to set up always on remote connections via systemd… then you can drive from Claude or codex mobile apps natively over their native hookup. Works great.

I don't want to rely on Claude of Codex mobile features at all. Also none of this works when you use third party LLMs which is what the current comment tree is about.

This. There's so many better ways to drive a fleet of agents this way than using "remote" features of which I don't trust, anyway.
