Claude Code cloud VMs can replace most of your local dev workflow
Claude Code's s run on real cloud and are included in an existing , with no separate API bill. Each session can clone multiple , including private ones, along with their full git history. It installs , runs tests, accesses the internet, and actually executes the code it writes.
Multiple sessions can run at once and be managed from a browser or phone, effectively giving a fresh computer for every task that can be spun up from anywhere. The key improvement is making sessions start with all necessary context instead of re-explaining the setup each time. This is done by creating one private "context" repository that ties together the repos being worked across, explains how they relate, and documents project conventions.
Each session can also be given only the specific connections and credentials it needs for its task — for example, fixing a flaky checkout test can start the session with the correct repo, , and ticket already in place.
