Configure a MacBook as an always-on-AC desktop workstation with USB device resilience, battery longevity, and self-healing audio device.
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
# 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 ## Root Cause Diagnosis Framework …

How to install
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/macbook-desktop-mode@sha256:d760c43dd6eccec4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.79d5a07, 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.
