Cloud Agent

Remote / delegated agent

An agent that runs in a vendor or self-hosted remote environment — cloud sandbox, VM, or CI — rather than only on your laptop. You delegate a task and review output later.

Concrete example

Kick off “add rate limiting to the API”; an hour later you review a branch or PR created in the cloud.

Why it matters

Useful when work can proceed without you watching every step.
