Signal that you are stepping away so the agent keeps working without stalling on prompts. Drives the current task to completion, batches reversible decisions behind safe defaults, raises only irreversible ones via push, and defers bandwidth- or power-heavy work when tethered, on battery, or lid-closed. Use via /afk or /afk <duration>.
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
# AFK Ben is stepping away. Keep the current task moving without him at the keyboard. Assume he cannot answer in real time, never idle on a prompt for a reversible decision, and avoid bandwidth- or power-heavy work when the machine is constrained. Duration argument: `$0` (e.g. `30m`, `2h`, `overnight`). It is a pacing and expected-return hint, not a hard timer. With no duration, run open-ended until the task is done or fully blocked. ## Read state at invocation Ben is still present right now. Surface read-only state and let the model interpret the raw output. Interpretation and the sandbox caveat live in [references/resources.md](references/resources.md). - Local time: !`date "+%A %H:%M"` - Power source: !`pmset -g ps` - Lid / clamshell: !`ioreg -r -k AppleClamshellState` - Network addresses (tether): !`ifconfig | grep "inet "` Classify from the output above: - `AC Power` is plugged in, `Battery Power` is on battery. No `InternalBattery` line means a desktop (treat as AC, no battery constraint). - A node block with `"AppleClamshellState" = Yes` means the lid is closed. `= No` means open. Empty output means no lid (desktop). Treat empty as open. …

How to install
mdr add bendrucker/claude/afk@sha256:2ec1fe96511f6196The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.23c2c5b, 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.
