README
winclaude-alive
Never lose Claude again. Keeps your Windows terminal and Claude Code alive — because waiting for a dead terminal is like waiting for a text from your ex at 3am.
윈도우에서 터미널이 죽어도 클로드가 살아있게. 밤새 죽은 터미널 붙잡고 안절부절하지 마세요.

Why?
Dead terminals have the same energy as staring at your phone at 3am hoping your ex finally texts back. Nothing good happens, and you just lose time. `winclaude-alive` keeps Claude running so you can stop waiting on ghosts.
Features
- Attaches to an existing Claude Code process if one is already running, or starts a new one if not.
- Monitors for repeated error patterns in the watchdog log and restarts Claude when the threshold is reached.
- Monitors Claude activity files under
%USERPROFILE%\.claudeand restarts Claude after an inactivity timeout. - Uses a single-instance lock file so only one watchdog can own the same working directory at a time.
- Trims the watchdog log to the newest 5000 lines to keep the log bounded.
- Supports configurable restart delay, polling interval, error window, and inactivity timeout.
- Resolves portable defaults dynamically from the script location and
%USERPROFILE%instead of hardcoded machine paths. - Supports
-ClaudeCommandso the script can launchclaudefromPATHor a full executable path. - Supports
-WhatIfto print the effective configuration and exit without starting the watchdog loop.
Requirements
- Windows
- PowerShell 5.1 or later
- Claude Code CLI installed
