Hands-on playbook for macOS disk cleanup, dev-machine optimization, and proactive health alerting. Use when the Mac is full or slow, when a process persistently burns CPU, when a kernel panic / watchdog timeout / vm-compressor-space-shortage / Jetsam event happened, when the user asks to free disk space, audit storage, set up disk/memory/CPU alerts, or restore the same monitoring on a new Mac. Built around Mole (`mo` CLI) for safety guards plus a custom LaunchAgent-based alerter for active…
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.

Validated against a real watchdog-timeout kernel panic on Apple Silicon caused by `vm_compressor` segments saturated to 100 % with the disk over 90 % full.

How to install
mdr add codealive-ai/ai-driven-development/maintaining-macos-health@sha256:77b345e32169c101The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4.0, 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.
