Can close safely
Agent View and supervisor processes are designed for this layer. The work can continue without the terminal window being the single source of truth.
Claude Code Agent View
Background sessions still need an awake host.
Agent View can keep Claude sessions supervised after a terminal closes. It does not automatically prove the notebook stayed awake when the lid closed.
Needs receipts
Use separate worktrees, explicit stop budgets, success tests, and a short receipt so the next human or agent knows what happened.
Still separate
The laptop can sleep, drop network, drain battery, or heat up. Verify this layer before trusting closed-lid or transport runs.
60-second proof
Test host wakefulness, not just session persistence.
Start a timestamp loop, close the lid briefly, reopen, then confirm the file kept changing while the notebook was closed.
while true; do date >> ~/agent-view-host-awake.log; sleep 15; done
What the Skill handles for local runs.
- Temporary awake mode only when a local agent needs this notebook.
- Battery and heat checks before closed-lid or bag-adjacent work.
- Restore normal sleep settings when the run is done.
- A receipt prompt: power state, process state, files changed, and next decision. For scheduled Mac runs, use the Claude Code auto-wake checklist.
- caffeinate vs closed-lid MacBook checklist
