clock

clock is a skill for Claude Code from Panchangam18/background-computer-use. It costs 36 tokens per session (254 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for controlling the Clock app through background computer use. It covers alarms, timers, stopwatches, and clocks showing time in other cities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set alarms or timers, start and stop a stopwatch, and add or manage world clocks in the Clock app.
Why use it?
It accounts for how the app changes its controls between tabs and how its time pickers and alarm switches behave.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

clock scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Driving Clock with background computer use

  1. Always call get_app_state app="Clock" before interacting.
  2. Clock has four tabs (World Clock, Alarms, Stopwatch, Timers); after switching tabs, the tree changes completely — re-call get_app_state.
  3. When adding a world-clock city from the search sheet, click the result row rather than pressing Return.
  4. Alarm toggles are switch elements embedded in each row — click the switch, not the row.
  5. Time pickers are usually settable=true; prefer set_value with a numeric string. If the picker is not settable, use scroll against the picker element's index.
  6. In Stopwatch, Start/Stop is a single button whose title toggles; re-read state after each press.

Extended notes live in server/app-hints/Clock.md; the MCP server injects them on every get_app_state call for Clock.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
