Beam Handoff Skill

Use this skill to move an active agentic local coding session to a new remote machine. This skill also installs the given CLI(s) on said machine, as well as tmux and uv.

Goal

• Create pod(s)
• Ensure remote tooling (tmux, uv, selected coding CLIs)
• Mirror project path
• Sync CLI state
• Return SSH command + remote directory

Primary Command

uv run beam.py --kind cpu --clis codex --node-count 1

High-Value Parameters

Most important params:

• --kind {cpu,gpu}
• --node-count
• --cpu-type (used for CPU mode, default CPU_NODE)
• --gpu-type (default H100_80GB)
• --gpu-count
• --region (repeat)
• --image
• --disk-size
• --memory
• --team-id

Sync:

• --clis (csv: codex,kimi,opencode,pi,claude,amp)
• --skip-auth (does not copy over auth tokens, need to re-auth in ssh session)

More params can be found with uv run beam.py --help.

Common Recipes

CPU handoff:

uv run beam.py --kind cpu --clis codex

GPU handoff:

uv run beam.py --kind gpu --gpu-type H100_80GB --gpu-count 4 --clis codex

Small custom CPU pod:

uv run beam.py --kind cpu --vcpus 4 --memory 16 --disk-size 200 --clis codex

Execution Checklist

1. Confirm Prime is authenticated (prime whoami).
2. Run uv run beam.py ... with desired params.
3. Wait for summary output.
4. Return the summary to the user.
