What problem does it solve? Running heavy workloads like headless scraping, media encoding, builds, and bulk API collection on an 8GB MacBook Air causes memory pressure and kills the user's browser tabs. This Skill routes those jobs to a more capable remote Mac mini over SSH so the local machine stays responsive. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Remote execution via SSH: Sends scripts to the remote host with scp and runs them with a login shell so Homebrew PATH resolves correctly. - Background job runner: Uses a run.sh runner with start/status/tail/log/list commands so long jobs survive SSH disconnects and can be polled later. - Fail-safe behavior: Checks remote availability first and aborts instead of falling back to local execution, protecting the low-memory laptop. - Use Case: You need to scrape hundreds of pages with Playwright or encode a video with ffmpeg. Write the script locally, scp it to the Mac mini's offload workspace, run it in the background, and retrieve the output files with scp when done. ## Quick Start Offload this ffmpeg video encoding job to the Mac mini and fetch the output file when it finishes.
