Description

Command

ssh (remote shell sessions, one-liner commands via -c)

Usage frequency (from rtk discover)

  • ssh: 769x invocations

Why it matters

SSH is heavily used in Claude Code sessions for:

  1. Running remote commands: ssh user@host -c "systemctl status ..."
  2. Checking VM state: ssh user@host -c "cat /var/log/..."
  3. File transfers / remote script execution

The output is raw stdout from the remote host — often includes full log tails, systemctl verbose output, or large file contents that drown the context window.

Suggested filter behavior

  • For ssh ... -c "systemctl status ...": strip binary padding, keep Active:, Main PID:, last 10 log lines
  • For ssh ... -c "cat /var/log/...": apply same rules as rtk read (line limit + truncation)
  • For ssh ... -c "journalctl ...": keep last N lines, strip timestamps if redundant
  • Pass-through for interactive sessions (no -c flag)

Environment

Linux VMs on GCP (Cloud Run, Compute Engine)
