Companion Offload

Offload the current Claude Code session to a remote Companion sandbox so it can continue running autonomously in the cloud.

When to use

• The user says "offload this task" or "run this in the cloud"
• A long-running task needs to continue without tying up the local machine
• The user wants to hand off work to their Companion sandbox

Prerequisites

• The companion CLI must be installed and the user must be logged in (companion login)
• An active sandbox must exist and be running (companion ls to check)
• rsync must be available locally

Instructions

Step 1: Verify companion CLI is available and user is logged in
