claude-code-keep-alive CLAUDE.md

claude-code-keep-alive CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from mrzeszowski/claude-code-keep-alive. It costs 1,307 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for a plugin that keeps a computer awake during a coding session. It documents the plugin's commands, design, and development status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or maintaining the keep-alive plugin, including its on, off, busy, and status commands. It also helps run its lint checks and tests.
Why use it?
It helps prevent the computer from sleeping while Claude Code is working or waiting for input. It also gives contributors the commands and details needed to check and maintain the plugin.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-code-keep-alive CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Repository status: v0.1.0 ready

Everything from §5 of the design spec is built and CI is green. Working branch is feat/v0.1.0 (merges to main for release). Design spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-17-claude-code-keep-alive-design.md.

Lint and test commands:

  • Lint: shellcheck -s sh bin/keep-alive (must be clean)
  • Tests: bats tests/ — 28 tests, pass on macOS and Ubuntu

What the plugin does

A Claude Code plugin that prevents the user's machine from sleeping during a session. It ports the user-facing surface of GitHub Copilot CLI's /keep-alive (subcommands on, off, busy, duration), namespaced as /keep-alive:on, /keep-alive:off, /keep-alive:busy, /keep-alive:status. Spec §1–3.

Architecture (the non-obvious parts)

Three pieces, and the interactions between them matter:

  1. Slash command files are intentionally minimal — frontmatter + one line telling Claude to run keep-alive <verb> $ARGUMENTS via the Bash tool and print stdout/stderr verbatim. allowed-tools is locked to ["Bash"] to prevent the LLM from interpreting the command. Don't add logic here.
  2. bin/keep-alive is a POSIX-sh script (target ~150 lines). All real work — argument parsing, platform detection, state, inhibitor lifecycle — lives here. Added to the Bash tool's PATH while the plugin is enabled.
  3. hooks/hooks.json registers UserPromptSubmit and Stop hooks that invoke keep-alive --busy-event=start|stop in the background. They fire in every Claude Code session whenever the plugin is enabled, not only when the user invoked /keep-alive. They are no-ops unless the state file says mode=busy. This is what makes busy mode work without polling.

Concretely, "no-op unless mode=busy" is a load-bearing invariant: if you ever change the hooks to do work unconditionally, you'll add a flock + JSON write to every prompt across every session for every user.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
