Understanding Cloud Sessions and Managed Agents

Episodes

1. 1

   When Claude Works Without You at the Keyboard

   A coding agent's loop of reading a repository, deciding, and calling tools does not have to run on your machine. Meet the two ways Claude now runs work on its own: a cloud session you start from a phone, and a Managed Agent that a webhook or a schedule can start without you.

2. 2

   Taking Claude Code Into the Cloud

   A cloud session is Claude Code itself, running in a container instead of your laptop. See what happens the moment it starts, how it reaches GitHub without ever holding your own token, and where that access quietly stops working.

3. 3

   From Subagents to Managed Agents

   A repository already describes its own subagents. This episode turns those same definitions into hosted Managed Agents that a script, a schedule, or another program can start directly, with their own credentials and their own dollar cap.

4. 4

   Two Wallets for Two Kinds of Work

   Cloud sessions and Managed Agents look like two flavors of the same thing, until the bill arrives. They draw on two completely separate wallets, with different limits, different failure modes, and different records of what happened.

5. 5

   Choosing What Starts the Work

   Five episodes of mechanics come down to one practical question: given a piece of work, which of the two should start it? A short, situation-by-situation answer, and a default pattern for a team that wants both without confusing them.
