anti-sleep

anti-sleep is a skill for Claude Code from STELIORD/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 22 tokens per session (892 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of anti-sleep, MIT.

A macOS utility guide for using the built-in caffeinate command to keep a computer awake. It can keep the display or system awake for a set time or while a process runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for keeping a Mac awake during builds, downloads, and automation runs, either for a fixed duration or until a command finishes.
Why use it?
It prevents long builds, downloads, and supervised automations from being interrupted by sleep. It avoids needing to install another program.

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

anti-sleep 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 8d 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.

Anti-Sleep (macOS caffeinate)

When to Use

  • Use when the user wants the Mac to stay awake during a long supervised task.
  • Use when a build, download, or automation run should not be interrupted by sleep.

Keep the Mac awake using the built-in caffeinate command. No install needed.

Quick start — the standard command

caffeinate -d -i -t 7200    # full power: screen stays on + no idle sleep, for 2 hours

Duration is -t <seconds>: 2h = 7200, 7h = 25200, overnight (9h) = 32400.

Aggressiveness levels

Flags Effect
-i prevents idle system sleep only (screen may still dim/lock)
-d prevents display sleep (screen stays on)
-d -i default choice — screen on + system awake
-d -i -s adds -s: prevents sleep even on AC power semantics; -s only works when plugged in
-u -t 1 simulates user activity — wakes the display right now

Default to -d -i -t <seconds> unless the user says otherwise.

Tie to a process instead of a timer

caffeinate -d -i -w <PID>          # stays awake until that process exits (great for builds)
caffeinate -i npm run build       # wraps a command; exits when the command finishes

Run it in a visible terminal (cmux pane)

Prefer running it in the user's own terminal pane so it's visible and easy to Ctrl+C. In cmux (read the cmux skill first if interacting with panes):

cmux send --surface surface:<N> "caffeinate -d -i -t 25200\n"

Otherwise run it as a background Bash task. Never block your own foreground shell with it.

Verify and monitor

pgrep -fl caffeinate                       # is it running? shows exact flags
ps -o etime= -p <PID>                      # how long it's been running
pmset -g assertions | grep -i deny        # confirm sleep assertions are active

Gotcha: caffeinate prints nothing and holds the prompt — it looks "stuck" or like Enter wasn't pressed. It isn't stuck. Verify with pgrep, not by looking at the terminal.
