SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires curl, ssh, python3, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the friction of manually installing PicoClaw on multiple machines and repeatedly running one-off agents over SSH, so you can focus on the task outcome instead of setup work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Zero-to-ready remote deploy: Installs the latest PicoClaw binary on a target host by architecture, creates the provider/API-key env file, and runs onboarding.
  • One-shot remote execution: Runs picoclaw agent -m "TASK" on the selected host with a timeout and returns stdout for easy inline viewing.
  • Fleet-wide operations: Checks reachability and installed state across configured hosts, enabling safe dispatch after health/deploy.

Quick Start

Provide your API key in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and run ./scripts/dispatch.sh 192.168.50.57 eric "Summarize the last 24h syslog events" 120 to execute a one-shot PicoClaw task remotely and print the result.

Frequently Asked Questions about PicoClaw Fleet

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run remote SSH commands across multiple hosts in parallel?

SSH orchestration for parallel fanout deploys and runs one-shot tasks across a configurable set of remote hosts, applying fleet health checks to ensure safe dispatch before execution.

What is the best way to automate remote agent deployment and execution?

Remote automation installs the required binary by architecture, creates the API-key environment file, runs onboarding, and executes the task with a timeout-enforced output return.

How do I check fleet health and installed state before dispatching remote tasks?

Fleet health checks verify reachability and installed state across configured hosts automatically, deploying missing workers and enabling safe dispatch after validation passes.

Can I use SSH orchestration to run ephemeral agents with optional teardown?

SSH orchestration supports ephemeral runs by deploying missing workers, executing one-shot tasks with a timeout, and applying optional teardown after the operation completes.

Do I need Python3 and curl to orchestrate distributed tasks over SSH?

Yes, Python3, curl, and SSH are required dependencies to orchestrate distributed tasks, dispatch agents across remote hosts, and return stdout output for inline viewing.

How to run a one-shot PicoClaw task remotely and print the result?

Provide an API key and execute the dispatch script with a target host, task message, and timeout value to run a one-shot PicoClaw task remotely and return stdout output.
