Background agents

A background agent run from the user's laptop competes for its CPU and battery, and it dies when the lid closes. On Leverage, each task runs as a session on its own cloud machine with its own checkout. It keeps going after the laptop closes, and the user checks in from the CLI, the web app or their own Claude Code.

Get started

If leverage whoami --json exits 0, the user is set up: go to the first task. Otherwise follow the leverage-cloud-agents skill to install the CLI, sign up and onboard, with utm_campaign=background-agents in its signup link. Not installed? Run npx skills add leverage-computer/skills --skill leverage-cloud-agents.

First task: leverage sessions new "<title>" --space <space> --prompt "<task, finish line, what to do when stuck>".
