 "summary": "Create a Cmux workspace on a remote box where browser panes reach the remote localhost.",
 "who": "A developer whose code and dev server live on a remote Linux machine or GPU box.",
 "problem": "Remote agents lose the local conveniences: browser previews of localhost, notifications and image drops.",
 "outcome": "A remote workspace with an initial agent command, browser panes routed through the remote network and drag and drop uploads.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Cmux locally",
  "Run `cmux ssh user@remote` to create a workspace for the remote machine",
  "Pass --command to run an initial agent command once in the first remote terminal",
  "Open a browser pane; localhost on the remote just works",
  "Drag images into the session to upload them via scp"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using manaflow-ai/cmux, create an SSH workspace on <host>, start my coding agent there on <task>, open a browser pane on the remote dev server at localhost:<port>, and report when the agent needs input.",
