Continuous scanner CI not detected

This plugin remains listed. Its overall trust score is reduced by 10% because security checks are not maintained in the source repository's CI.

Optional: maintain the scanner in the source repository's CI to receive the full trust score. Listing does not require that change.

README badge not detected

Plugin owners can add the HOL badge to the repository README from Guard Plugins. Distribution, not security evidence. It adds a 2% engagement adjustment to the overall trust score and never changes the security result.

Did setup work in Claude Code?

No setup reports for Claude Code yet. Self-reported by signed-in visitors. Copying a command is not counted, and most installs are never reported.

Attested installs: Fewer than 10 attested installs of this plugin in week 2026-W44, so no number is shown. Counted from opt-in HOL Guard install reports, once per machine and runtime, and never mixed with the answers above. How install reports work.

    Keeps a MacBook with Apple silicon awake with the lid closed while a long task runs, with the keepmacawake command of the Keep Mac Awake app. Use it before work likely to run 15 minutes or more or that the user may leave running (an agent run, a build, a test suite, a migration, a download or upload, a render, a backup); when the user says they will close the lid, step away, go to bed or check in from their phone (Claude Code Remote Control, Codex in the ChatGPT app, Cursor, Antigravity, SSH); when a remote session went offline because the Mac slept; when local scheduled work, such as a Claude desktop scheduled task or a Codex automation, must run while the lid is closed; and when the user asks to keep the Mac awake.
