The Pitch

You're at the beach. Phone buzzes — production's on fire.

Old you: Panic. Find WiFi. Open laptop. Wait for IDE. Lose your tan.

Vibe Remote you: Open Slack, Discord, or WeChat. Type "Fix the auth bug in login.py". Watch Claude Code fix it in real-time. Approve. Sip margarita.

AI works. You live.

Why This Exists

Problem	Solution
Claude Code is amazing but needs a terminal	Slack/Discord/WeChat/Lark IS your terminal now
Context-switching kills flow	Stay in one app
Start on desktop, continue on phone	Resume the exact agent session from the current project in seconds
Can't code from phone	Yes you can
Multiple agents, multiple setups	One chat app, any agent

Supported Agents:

• Claude Code — Deep reasoning, complex refactors
• OpenCode — Fast, extensible, community favorite
• Codex — OpenAI's coding model

Why Vibe Remote over OpenClaw?

	Vibe Remote	OpenClaw
Setup	One command + web wizard. Done in 2 minutes.	Gateway + channels + JSON config. Expect an afternoon.
Security	Local-first. Socket Mode / WebSocket only. No public endpoints, no inbound ports, minimal attack surface.	Gateway exposes ports. More moving parts, more attack surface.
Token cost	Thin transport layer — relays messages between your IM and agent. Zero LLM overhead from the middleware itself.	Every message carries a long system context for maintaining agent persona, IM tooling, and orchestration plumbing. Tokens burn on overhead before your actual task even starts.

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant — great for casual chat, but its always-on agent loop makes it expensive for real productivity workloads. Vibe Remote is not an agent framework. It's a remote control — a minimal bridge between your chat app and whatever AI agent you already use. It adds no extra intelligence layer, no extra token spend, and no extra attack surface. Every token goes straight to your task.

Highlights

Setup Wizard One-command install, guided configuration. No manual token juggling.

Dashboard Real-time status, health monitoring, and quick controls.

Channel Routing Per-channel agent configuration. Different projects, different agents.

Instant Notifications

Get notified the moment your AI finishes. Like assigning tasks to employees — delegate, go do something else, and come back when the work is done. No need to babysit.

Thread = Session

Each Slack/Discord/WeChat/Lark thread is an isolated workspace. Open 5 threads, run 5 parallel tasks. Context stays separate.

Resume Anywhere

Laptop closed. Commute started. Production still needs you.

Vibe Remote lets you reopen real agent sessions from your current working directory across Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex. Pick the latest session, jump from desktop to mobile, and keep going without re-explaining the task, hunting for an old thread, or losing the thread of thought.

Interactive Prompts

When your agent needs input — file selection, confirmation, options — your chat app pops up buttons or a modal. Full CLI interactivity, zero terminal required.

How It Works

┌──────────────┐             ┌──────────────┐             ┌──────────────┐
│     You      │   Slack     │              │   stdio     │  Claude Code │
│  (anywhere)  │   Discord   │ Vibe Remote  │ ──────────▶ │  OpenCode    │
│              │   WeChat    │  (your Mac)  │ ◀────────── │  Codex       │
│              │   Lark      │              │             │              │
└──────────────┘             └──────────────┘             └──────────────┘

1. You type in Slack/Discord/WeChat/Lark: "Add dark mode to the settings page"
2. Vibe Remote routes to your configured agent
3. Agent reads your codebase, writes code, streams back
4. You review in your chat app, iterate in thread

Your code never leaves your machine. Vibe Remote runs locally and connects via Slack Socket Mode, Discord Gateway, WeChat polling, or Lark WebSocket.

Commands

In chat	What it does
@Vibe Remote /start	Open control panel
/stop	Kill current session
Just type	Talk to your agent
Reply in thread	Continue conversation

Pro tip: Each thread = isolated session. Start multiple threads for parallel tasks.

---

Instant Agent Switching

Need a different agent mid-conversation? Just prefix your message:

Plan: Design a new caching layer for the API

That's it. No menus, no commands. Type AgentName: and your message routes to that agent instantly.

---

Per-Channel Routing

Different projects, different agents:

#frontend    → OpenCode (fast iteration)
#backend     → Claude Code (complex logic)  
#prototypes  → Codex (quick experiments)

Configure in web UI → Channels.

---

CLI

vibe          # Start everything
vibe status   # Check if running
vibe stop     # Stop everything
vibe doctor   # Diagnose issues

---

Prerequisites

You need at least one coding agent installed:

OpenCode (Recommended)

curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash

Required: Add to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json to skip permission prompts:

{
  "permission": "allow"
}

Claude Code

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Codex

npm install -g @openai/codex

---

Security

• Local-first — Vibe Remote runs on your machine
• Socket Mode / WebSocket — No public URLs, no webhooks
• Your tokens — Stored in ~/.vibe_remote/, never uploaded
• Your code — Stays on your disk, sent only to your chosen AI provider

---

Uninstall

vibe stop && uv tool uninstall vibe-remote && rm -rf ~/.vibe_remote

Remote Server Tip (SSH)

If you run Vibe Remote on a remote server, keep the Web UI bound to 127.0.0.1:5123 and access it via SSH port forwarding:

ssh -NL 5123:localhost:5123 user@server-ip

See: CLI Reference (search for "Remote Web UI Access")
