On-screen agent alert: topmost message card + pulsating screen borders via Nameplate. Use before password-manager auth prompts or whenever blocked on the human.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Nameplate Attention Grab the human's attention at the Mac: a topmost message card plus pulsating colored borders on every display. Always include the reason — never fire a contextless alert. ## Command - Binary: `nameplate` — `/Applications/Nameplate.app/Contents/Helpers/nameplate` (symlink it onto your PATH; a repo checkout build lives at `<repo>/Nameplate.app/Contents/Helpers/nameplate`). - `nameplate attention "<why you need the human>" --title "<agent> → <system>" [--duration <seconds>] [--color <hex>]` - Example, right before an interactive 1Password `op` prompt (which carries no reason field of its own): `nameplate attention "Need 1Password approval for release verification; no secret read." --title "Codex → 1Password"` - Launches Nameplate.app if it is not running. By default the card stays until the human clicks it; pass `--duration <seconds>` (max 120) for auto-dismiss. - Requests are timestamped; anything older than 2 minutes is dropped, so a login-time launch never replays stale alerts. ## Extras - `nameplate splash` — replay the identity splash (which Mac is this?). - `nameplate settings` — open Nameplate settings. …

How to install
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/nameplate-attention@sha256:50742b817916bfbeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.e9a0b7c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
