staying-connected

staying-connected is a skill for Claude Code from yale-som-hpc/claude-code-marketplace. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,181 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

Guidance for keeping work running on Yale SOM's shared computing cluster when an SSH connection drops. SSH is the remote terminal connection used to access the cluster, while tmux and zmx keep sessions alive.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running Claude Code or long commands on the cluster, choosing between running the agent on the cluster or laptop, and maintaining durable remote sessions.
Why use it?
It prevents laptop sleep, Wi-Fi loss, or a closed terminal from stopping work or losing the remote shell's working directory and settings.

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

staying-connected 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Staying Connected

Rule: a dropped laptop connection should never kill cluster work. Pick a model up front, make the session durable, and keep the agent's own footprint off the login node.

There are two ways to run Claude Code against the cluster. They fail differently, so they need different tools. Decide which one you are in before anything else.

Model Claude Code runs on What breaks on a drop Fix
A the cluster login node (you SSH in, then start Claude there) the agent process is killed when your SSH dies session persistence on the login node (tmux)
B your laptop, driving the cluster over SSH each ssh hpc <cmd> is a fresh shell that forgets cwd/modules/env a persistent remote shell (zmx)

Cluster facts agents should know

Current as of 2026-06-05. Verify with command -v on the login node before recommending a tool.

  • tmux (3.2a) is installed system-wide on the login node. It is the default persistence tool.
  • mosh, mosh-server, screen, autossh, and Eternal Terminal (et) are not installed on the cluster. mosh and ET need a server-side binary, so they are unavailable until SOM IT installs them — see resilience ladder.
  • zellij and zmx are not system-wide; they only work if a user installed them under ~/.local/bin.
  • hpc.som.yale.edu currently resolves to a single login node (hpc-ln02). There is a second login node on the internal network, but the public name points at one host today, so a tmux session is reliably where you left it. This can change — see the reattach gotcha.

Baseline: SSH config (do this regardless of model)

On your laptop, ~/.ssh/config. This keeps idle links from being silently dropped and reuses one connection for the agent's many ssh calls:

Host hpc
    HostName hpc.som.yale.edu
    User yournetid
    ServerAliveInterval 60
    ServerAliveCountMax 3
    ControlMaster auto
    ControlPath ~/.ssh/cm-%r@%h:%p
    ControlPersist 10m

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.
