This skill should be used when building, debugging, or extending a persistent Claude Code Remote Control server host — a Linux box (LXC/VM/VPS) that runs `claude remote-control` under systemd as a dedicated service user so sessions can be driven from the Claude mobile app or claude.ai/code and survive the laptop closing — including the login/auth model, per-project systemd template units, the liveness watchdog, and fleet SSH access for the service user. Built once for the homelab (`claude-code`, VMID 112, 2026-09-09). Trigger phrases include "claude remote-control", "remote control server systemd", "claude-rc@", "Remote Control requires a full-scope login token", "You must be logged in to use Remote Control", "setup-token remote control", "CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN remote control", "refreshTokenExpiresAt", ".credentials.json expiresAt", "remote control journal spam", "claude remote-control --help hangs", "list-unit-files template instance", "systemctl show --value order", "git ls-remote -h HEAD", "Enable Remote Control?

From the source SKILL.md

A persistent claude remote-control server on an always-on Linux host, one server process per project, each a systemd template instance running as a low-privilege service user. Sessions are created and driven from the Claude mobile app or claude.ai/code; execution and files stay on the host. Reference build: claude-code (unprivileged Debian 13 LXC, VMID 112, 192.168.50.231), Terraform claude-code.tf, Ansible claude-code-install.yml + claude-rc-watchdog.sh in homelab-ansible. Design record: the homelab planning repo's archive/claude-code-homelab-architecture-proposal.md; state in…
