Parhelia Remote Execution

Scope: Dispatch Claude Code sessions to Modal.com cloud containers Last Updated: 2026-01-22 Format Version: 2.0

Critical Mental Model

Parhelia runs a SEPARATE Claude Code instance in the cloud. It does NOT:

• Run arbitrary shell commands remotely
• Give remote Claude access to your local filesystem
• Give remote Claude access to private repos (without GITHUB_TOKEN)
• Execute in your current shell session

Think of it as: "Spawn a fresh Claude Code in a cloud container that will work on a task autonomously."
