claude-cpu-guard is a Claude Code plugin that monitors CPU after idle periods and automatically kills stuck terminal UI processes so developers recover without manual intervention.

About

claude-cpu-guard is a Claude Code marketplace plugin that watches for stuck React/Ink terminal UI render loops that burn CPU while Claude appears idle. After you stop working, it monitors CPU for thirty seconds and automatically kills the process only if usage stays high across six checks, then prints a resume command. Install it when Claude Code regularly pegs your Mac CPU after sessions end and you want hands-off recovery without manual force-quit.

  • Zero-config hooks for SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, and Stop
  • Kills only after six 5-second CPU checks above 70% while stopped
  • Cancels kill if you type during the watch window
  • Prints resume command after terminating a stuck process
