Guides
These guides are task recipes for operating Cmdop: attaching a terminal to another machine, reaching its files, authoring a Skill, setting a permission policy, asking a machine’s agent to do bounded work, running a fleet, and deploying to a headless server. Each one names the commands to run and the decision that determines whether the task succeeds.
Start with the browser workspace for everyday work. Use these guides when you need a repeatable terminal, file, Skill, permission, agent, fleet, or deployment task. The CLI and SDK references remain the source of truth for exact flags and types.
Choose the outcome
Attach a shell to another machine — and check first that it is remotely attachable.
Work with filesBrowse a machine’s files in the console, or mount it as a local drive.
Build and publish a SkillCreate, validate, pack, and publish a reusable Skill.
Set a permission policyKnow what the gate covers, start strict, and add narrow rules.
Ask a machine's agentUse a conversation, the CLI, or the typed SDK for a bounded task.
Reach a machine behind NATGive Claude Code or Codex access without opening ports or setting up a VPN.
Run on a server without SSHLet an assistant work on a joined server without exposing an SSH daemon.
Operate a fleetJoin machines to a relay, read the roster correctly, and keep relay boundaries explicit.
Run a headless serverInstall the service, make the server reachable, and control its updates.
If this is your first machine, complete the Quickstart
first. For exact command options, inspect cmdop <command> --help; for typed
automation, use the versioned SDK reference.
Common questions
Which Cmdop guide should I start with?
Start with the guide that matches the task: terminal, files, Skills, permissions, AI agent work, fleets, or deployment.
Are guides the source of exact CLI flags?
No. Guides show task recipes and decisions. Use cmdop <command> --help for
exact current flags and the SDK reference for typed automation.
Where is the guide for machines behind NAT?
Use Reach a machine behind NAT for AI assistant access without port forwarding or a VPN.
