Claude Remote: launch Claude Code on your own PC from your phone via Tailscale

The author disliked that the official Claude mobile app runs sessions in a cloud sandbox without his heavily customized setup — hooks (e.g. commit-blocking until code review), skills, and a global CLAUDE.md that he deliberately keeps out of GitHub. So he built Claude Remote: a phone PWA that connects to his Windows PC over Tailscale (passcode-protected, no open ports), launching Claude Code sessions locally with the full setup, which then appear in the Claude app's Code tab.
Implementation: zero-dependency Node script, a PowerShell launcher with Remote Control enabled. A neat trick: each project keeps a HANDOFF.md, and sessions start with the prompt "Read HANDOFF.md and give the opening report" so remote sessions open with a status briefing. He also discovered a design pitfall — sessions could start and work unattended — so the opening report must end as a proposal awaiting his go-ahead. Windows-only, not yet public.
