Audit whether your '24/7' agent is really running (it mostly slept)

A user asked Claude Code to audit Richi, his '24/7 autonomous' crypto agent running on Hermes on a Mac mini and controlled over Telegram. The first line of the verdict: full autonomy is not verified. The Mac had gone to sleep 31 times in 20 hours 43 minutes, so the agent was mostly asleep.

Try it yourself

Prompt idea: “Audit my always-on agent setup on [machine]. Check the system logs for sleep, crashes and restarts over the last [period], tell me how much of that time it was actually running, and list the fixes to keep it awake.”
