What the file says

# MacBook Desktop Mode

A holistic configuration guide for running a MacBook as an always-on-AC desktop workstation. Solves two interconnected problems: USB devices (especially USB 1.1 audio) disappearing during sleep/wake cycles, and unnecessary battery degradation from constant charge cycling.

> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

## When to Use This Skill

- USB microphone or audio device disappears after sleep/wake
- Battery is cycling unnecessarily on a plugged-in Mac
- Setting up a MacBook as a permanent desktop workstation
- Configuring `pmset` for always-on-AC use
- Setting up a powered USB hub with `uhubctl` for software-controlled USB resets
- Enhancing the AudioDeviceMonitor Swift daemon with self-healing recovery
