CrabCode on the Web (Remote Tasks)
Push long-running work — multi-agent planning, deep review — to the cloud. Your terminal stays free.
What it is
CrabCode on the Web runs cloud sessions on acosmi.com. From your local terminal you type /ultraplan or /ultrareview and CrabCode packages your current branch / PR context, ships it to the cloud, and a fleet of agents does deep planning or review. You track the remote session from your local terminal but the heavy lifting happens on acosmi.com.
Good for: long-horizon, multi-file plans and deep PR reviews — work that would otherwise pin your terminal for many minutes.

Remote command comparison
| Command | Purpose | Runs where | Multi-agent | Typical duration | Subscription required | How results flow back |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
/review [<PR#>] | PR / branch baseline review | Local | No | Seconds to minutes | No | Rendered inline in the current conversation |
/ultrareview | Deep review with broader coverage | Cloud | Yes | Minutes | Yes (token-billed) | Remote session link + pull-back to local |
/security-review | Security audit, vulnerability report | Local (via sub-tasks) | Yes (local subagents) | Seconds to minutes | No | Markdown report inline |
/ultraplan <prompt> | Multi-agent cloud planning | Cloud | Yes | Up to 30 minutes by default | Yes (token-billed) | Continue executing in the cloud, or pull back to local |
See code-review and plan-mode for the details.
Commands in depth
/review [<PR#>]
Local branch / PR review (baseline). Without an argument it lists open PRs in the current repo; with a PR number it fetches the diff and writes the review.
- Runs entirely locally and reuses the main conversation model
- No extra remote quota used
- Best for quick PR sign-offs
/ultraplan <task>
Multi-agent cloud planning using the strongest model. Uploads project context plus your description; a team of agents converges on a plan.
- Your terminal stays free for other work
- When the plan is ready you can keep executing it in the cloud session, or pull it back into the local terminal
- Default timeout is 30 minutes
- Requires you to have signed in via
/login - Cannot be auto-triggered from a prompt — you must run it explicitly
/ultrareview
Heavier review backed by CrabCode on the Web. Multi-agent, runs in the cloud.
- Covers more than
/review: cross-file dependencies, latent regressions, style consistency, etc. - Availability depends on subscription and entitlements — you'll see an upgrade prompt when it's not enabled
- Cloud sessions can be pulled back to your local terminal
/security-review
Runs a security audit against the changes pending on your current branch. Local by default, but internally it fans out into multiple sub-tasks for vulnerability identification and false-positive filtering.
- Outputs a markdown vulnerability report (file / line / severity / exploit scenario / fix recommendation)
- Only high-confidence findings (≥0.8) are reported to keep noise down
- Does not upload to acosmi.com — no extra cost

- Remote tasks (
/ultraplan//ultrareview) are billed by token (thinking + output included) against your acosmi.com balance or subscription - Local tasks (
/review//security-review) use the main conversation model and roll up into the local/cost - See costs for details
Privacy
- Starting a remote task uploads the current context (your prompt plus relevant project files) to acosmi.com
- Result links are hosted on acosmi.com and gated to your account
- Use with care on sensitive repos; organisations on Zero Data Retention (ZDR) get extra guarantees — see data-usage
/security-reviewis local; it's safer to use on code that touches secrets or credentials
Limits and caveats
- Subscription / balance required — an estimate is shown before a remote command starts; you can cancel
- Outbound access to acosmi.com required (remote commands only)
- Cannot be auto-triggered from a prompt — you have to run
/ultraplan//ultrareviewon purpose; anti-abuse measure - Remote sessions can be pulled back — use
teleportto bring a cloud session into your current terminal /security-reviewis a local command — it doesn't burn remote quota but still consumes tokens and time in the main conversation
