# cmux Cloud machines
Use an existing machine and a workspace for the task. Machine terminals persist
when panes close or the Mac disconnects. Work headlessly; open a pane or share a
URL when there is a result for the user to inspect.
## Start with discovery
```sh
cmux vm --help
cmux auth status
cmux vm ls --json
cmux vm route --json
```
On the Mac, host operations need the app, sign-in and its private tunnel. Inside a
machine, use `cmux self --json` and the guest's help; read [guest operations](references/guest.md)
for its supported subset and auth. Installed help is authoritative when versions differ.
`route` inspects placement without creating a machine. Read `would_provision` and
the backend's `limits`/`capabilities`; do not assume a plan cap, memory size or
provider feature. Reuse the router's pool machine, or explicitly pin an existing
target with `--machine <id>`. Base is the user's persistent work. Prefer another
workspace on a machine to another machine.
## Run and observe
After identifying an authorized target, choose the operation:
| Need | Start here |
| --- | --- |
| Bounded command and exit code | `cmux vm run --machine <id> -- <command>` |
| Detached coding agent | `cmux vm agent --machine <id> --agent codex --no-open -- "<task>"` |
| Project with a dev layout | `cmux vm dev <id> --dry-run --json`, then the approved plan |
| Observe without opening panes | `cmux vm tree <id> --json`, `cmux vm terminal read <id> <term>` |
| Completion and full output | `
