A tool that offloads build and test commands from local machines to remote workers via SSH, integrated with Claude Code's PreToolUse hook.
Adapted from @DanKornasYour AI coding agents shouldn’t turn your laptop into a build server. RCH — Remote Compilation Helper is a tool for multi-agent development that transparently offloads supported build and test commands to remote workers. It helps you keep local CPU available by classifying eligible commands through a Claude Code PreToolUse hook, running them over SSH on remote workers, and returning output and artifacts as if they ran locally. Key features: • Broad command coverage – supports Rust, Bun/TypeScript, C/C++, common build systems, and selected Nix commands • Fail-open behavior – falls back to local execution when remote work cannot safely proceed • Safe interception rules – avoids local-mutating, interactive, watch, piped, and redirected command patterns • Worker-aware scheduling – the daemon manages worker state, slots, queues, cancellation, and cache-aware selection • Guided setup and checks – `rch init`, worker probing, hook installation, status, and diagnostic commands are documented It’s open-source under the MIT License with an OpenAI/Anthropic rider.
