Set up and manage a personal cloud VPS as a dedicated remote workbench for AI coding agents (Claude Code + OpenAI Codex). Covers provisioning (git/node/pnpm/docker/tmux), installing & authenticating the agents, a self-aware agent environment, Tailscale networking (SSH with no exposed ports), a tmux + cmux cockpit, localhost port tunneling, reverse VPS→laptop file access (including a no-admin path for managed/work laptops), one-time migration of your skills/memory/history/credentials, and automatic two-way sync. Use this when the user wants to run AI agents on a server, offload heavy or parallel agent work off their laptop, "set up a VPS for Claude Code / Codex", spin up a remote agent box, or keep an agent setup synced across machines.
