Type /stepaway in Claude Code or Codex and the live session — conversation, uncommitted changes, database volumes, secrets — moves to a runner you control. Step away, then pull it all back.
OPEN CORE · AGPL-3.0 · ONE SKILL: /stepaway · WORKS AS A LID-CLOSE HOOK
HOW_IT_WORKS
No new tool to learn — it's a skill inside the agent you already use. The session picks up mid-task on the other side, mid-refactor, mid-conversation — not from a fresh clone and a cold prompt.
01
/stepawayType it mid-session, in plain words: /stepaway take it from here. The skill captures everything — git state, uncommitted work, transcript, project config, declared services — and tells you exactly what travels before it touches anything.
02
The agent keeps working unattended on your runner. Peek at the live transcript or nudge it from your phone. Or skip the command entirely: hook it to lid-close, and shutting your laptop is the handoff.
03
/stepaway pullBack at your desk, one command brings everything home: new commits, new dirty state, the extended conversation. Resume locally as if you never left. Single-writer baton — no split-brain, ever.
WHAT_TRAVELS
First-party "cloud handoff" features want a clean tree and a rebuilt image. Real work isn't like that. Stepaway carries the state nothing else can reconstruct:
YOUR_INFRASTRUCTURE
Open core under AGPL-3.0. Bring your own runner — Helm chart for Kubernetes, compose or a plain binary anywhere else — or use a managed runner and connect in one click. Subscription tokens and API keys are both first-class; your credentials live in your vault, not ours.
Helm on your cluster or compose on a spare box. Your code and credentials never leave infrastructure you own.
Dispatched on demand, asleep when idle, ~1 s cold start. Flat monthly price — never metered, no bill-shock loops.
