Watch, approve, and steer AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Kimi) from your phone. A local daemon bridges the CLI agents running on the user's own machine to their phone, end-to-end encrypted through a zero-knowledge relay. Not a cloud IDE — agents keep running on the user's machine with their own API keys and repos; the phone is just a mirror + remote control.
If riffpad is not installed:
# macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://riffpad.ai/install.sh | sh
# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://riffpad.ai/install.ps1 | iex
Verify with riffpad version. If still not found after install, open a new terminal.
riffpad version to confirm.riffpad login
gh auth login). The user completes it in the browser; the daemon registers this machine and restarts automatically.RIFFPAD_RELAY_USER + RIFFPAD_RELAY_PASSWORD, then riffpad login --username.riffpad pair
riffpad run codex (or claude / kimi)
To capture a Claude session the user already started themselves (instead of launching a new one), use
riffpad attach(injects Claude hooks) — notrun.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
riffpad login [--url wss://…] | GitHub device sign-in (default); --username for password login |
riffpad logout | Sign out and revoke the relay token |
riffpad auth | Show the current account (live validation) |
riffpad pair | Print a 6-char pairing code and QR |
riffpad run [claude|codex|kimi] [--name N] [--prompt P] [--cwd D] | Create a hosted session; terminal stays visible/interactive |
riffpad attach / detach | Inject/remove Claude hooks to capture the user's own running session |
riffpad sessions | List sessions |
riffpad status | Daemon status |
riffpad setup [--remove] | Install/remove the Linux systemd autostart |
riffpad kill | Kill switch — stop all sessions + revoke all paired devices |
riffpad update | Replace with the latest version (SHA256 + atomic swap) |
riffpad logs | Show daemon logs |
riffpad version | Print the version |
run options--name N — label the session--prompt P — start with an initial prompt--cwd D — set the working directoryOutput defaults to English. Use --lang zh to switch to Chinese; --lang en explicitly selects English.
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
RIFFPAD_RELAY_URL | wss://api.riffpad.ai | Relay address (change to self-host) |
RIFFPAD_RELAY_USER / RIFFPAD_RELAY_PASSWORD | — | Password-login credentials |
RIFFPAD_URL | http://127.0.0.1:8787 | Local daemon address |
RIFFPAD_DIR | ~/.config/riffpad | Data directory |
The relay is the only server component, and it's zero-knowledge — it forwards ciphertext and stores nothing. To point Riffpad at your own relay, set RIFFPAD_RELAY_URL before login. Relay source + self-host notes: https://github.com/riffpad/riffpad (apps/relay).
| Pitfall | Correct approach |
|---|---|
| Treating it like a cloud IDE | Agents run on the user's machine with their own keys; the phone only mirrors + sends approvals/instructions. Don't try to move the session to the cloud. |
| Skipping pairing | riffpad pair must run, and the user must complete pairing on their phone at app.riffpad.ai. Without it, nothing reaches the phone. |
Using run for a session the user already started | Use riffpad attach (injects Claude hooks into an existing session), not run (which starts a new one). |
| Approvals not showing on the phone | Confirm riffpad status is healthy and the phone is paired; check riffpad logs. |
login can't open a browser (headless) | Use --username with RIFFPAD_RELAY_USER / RIFFPAD_RELAY_PASSWORD. |
| Need to stop everything immediately | riffpad kill — stops all sessions + revokes all paired devices (kill switch). |

--- name: riffpad description: Control AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Kimi) from your phone via Riffpad. Use when the user wants to watch, approve, or steer a coding agent remotely / set up Riffpad / pair their phone / keep a long-running agent session going while away from the computer. --- # riffpad Watch, approve, and steer AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Kimi) from your phone. A local daemon bridges the CLI agents running on the user's own machine to their phone, end-to-end encrypted through a zero-knowledge relay. **Not a cloud IDE** — agents keep running on the user's machine with their own API keys and repos; the phone is just a mirror + remote control. ## Install If `riffpad` is not installed: ```bash # macOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://riffpad.ai/install.sh | sh # Windows (PowerShell) irm https://riffpad.ai/install.ps1 | iex ``` Verify with `riffpad version`. If still not found after install, open a new terminal. --- ## Onboarding flow (run these in order) 1. **Install** the daemon (above), then `riffpad version` to confirm. 2. **Sign in on the computer**: `riffpad login` - Opens a browser for GitHub authorization (like `gh auth login`). The **user** completes it in the browser; the daemon registers this machine and restarts automatically. - Non-GitHub / password login: set `RIFFPAD_RELAY_USER` + `RIFFPAD_RELAY_PASSWORD`, then `riffpad login --username`. 3. **Pair the phone**: `riffpad pair` - Prints a 6-char code + QR. **The user** must open https://app.riffpad.ai on their phone, sign in with the same account, and enter the code (or scan the QR). You can't complete this step for them — tell them what to do. 4. **Start a session**: `riffpad run codex` (or `claude` / `kimi`) - The terminal stays visible and interactive. The session mirrors to the phone immediately; the user can watch progress, approve permission prompts, and send new instructions from the phone. > To capture a Claude session the user **already started themselves** (instead of launching a new one), use `riffpad attach` (injects Claude hooks) — not `run`. --- ## CLI reference | Command | Description | |---|---| | `riffpad login [--url wss://…]` | GitHub device sign-in (default); `--username` for password login | | `riffpad logout` | Sign out and revoke the relay token | | `riffpad auth` | Show the current account (live validation) | | `riffpad pair` | Print a 6-char pairing code and QR | | `riffpad run [claude\|codex\|kimi] [--name N] [--prompt P] [--cwd D]` | Create a hosted session; terminal stays visible/interactive | | `riffpad attach` / `detach` | Inject/remove Claude hooks to capture the user's own running session | | `riffpad sessions` | List sessions | | `riffpad status` | Daemon status | | `riffpad setup [--remove]` | Install/remove the Linux systemd autostart | | `riffpad kill` | Kill switch — stop all sessions + revoke all paired devices | | `riffpad update` | Replace with the latest version (SHA256 + atomic swap) | | `riffpad logs` | Show daemon logs | | `riffpad version` | Print the version | ### `run` options - `--name N` — label the session - `--prompt P` — start with an initial prompt - `--cwd D` — set the working directory ### Languages Output defaults to English.

Source needs review
The tracked source changed or could not be synchronized. Review the current source before installing.
Review before install: Avoid automatic install
License: Apache-2.0
Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
Version reported in registry metadata; check source releases before relying on it.

Copies are not installs. Installation counts require a reported successful installation; they are not a blanket quality guarantee.
This page exposes the same decision, trust, audit, use-case, and install signals through the Registry API, so agents can rank this skill without scraping the UI.
