Badgr Launch Claude

Send Claude Code a task on a CPU VM, close your laptop, and pull the result back when it's done.

CPU VM — 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM
$2 default cost cap
1

Install Badgr CLI

Requires Node.js 20.10+.

Terminal
npm install -g badgr-cli
2

Connect your Anthropic account

Claude runs on your own Anthropic access. Store the credential once with:

Terminal
badgr connect anthropic

Optional: skip this step and Badgr will prompt inline for the key the first time badgr launch claude actually needs it — no separate rerun required.

3

Launch Claude

No source, no image name, no --max-cost required — just the task.

Terminal
badgr launch claude "Fix the checkout bug"

Not logged in or $0 balance? A browser opens automatically to sign in or add funds, then the launch continues on its own — no separate badgr login step first.

4

Check status and get results back

Terminal
badgr status
badgr logs <id>
badgr pull <id>

badgr pull <id> safely merges Claude's changes back into your local project, with conflict detection.

Want the full command reference — flags, VM sizing, dry-run, cost caps — or the other launch targets (Cline, Claude, Codex)? See the Badgr CLI docs.
