SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Long-running tasks can exhaust local compute or risk unstable environments. This Skill offloads work to remote Azure VMs, enabling region-aware execution and isolation of experiments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Remote execution on Azure VMs to leverage stronger compute
  • Automatic region detection from user request
  • VM size recommendations based on task complexity
  • Execution via the /amplihack:remote command
  • Clear results and logs accessible after completion

Quick Start

Example: Run an analysis on an eastus VM: /amplihack:remote --region eastus --vm-size m auto "analysis task"

FAQPage Schema
How do I run long-running tasks on remote Azure VMs instead of locally?

Offload tasks to remote Azure VMs using the /amplihack:remote command with region and VM size parameters. This leverages stronger compute, isolates experiments, and prevents local resource exhaustion while supporting distributed workloads across multiple Azure regions.

Can I automatically detect and select the right Azure region for my task?

Yes, automatic region detection extracts the region from your request and routes execution accordingly. VM size is recommended based on task complexity—analyses, builds, tests, and experiments all route to appropriately scaled instances.

What types of workloads benefit from remote Azure VM execution?

Long-running analyses, builds, tests, and experiments benefit most. Remote execution provides isolation, prevents local environment instability, distributes load across regions, and grants access to higher compute capacity than local machines typically offer.

How do I access logs and results after a remote task completes?

After remote execution via /amplihack:remote completes, logs and results remain accessible on the Azure VM. Post-run guidance clarifies where outputs are stored and how to retrieve them for analysis or debugging.

Does remote Azure VM execution work with regional workload distribution?

Yes, the Skill enables region-aware execution and workload distribution across multiple Azure regions. Region detection and VM selection happen automatically, allowing you to distribute tasks geographically for optimized latency and resource utilization.
