daemon-stop

daemon-stop is a skill for Claude Code from terrylica/cc-skills. It costs 26 tokens per session (693 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for stopping the asciinema chunker daemon, a background process that handles pieces of asciinema recordings. It uses macOS launchd, the system service manager, to unload the process and check that it stopped.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to stop, pause, or disable the asciinema chunker daemon on macOS.
Why use it?
It provides a defined way to pause the background recording-chunking service instead of leaving it running. It also reports when the service is missing, already stopped, or may not have stopped successfully.

SkillSpector: 11 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 72
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
  • high Rogue Agent · line 92
    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 6
    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.
  • medium Rogue Agent · line 22
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

daemon-stop 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/asciinema-tools:daemon-stop

Stop the asciinema chunker daemon via launchd.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Execution

Check if Running

/usr/bin/env bash << 'CHECK_EOF'
PLIST_PATH="$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cc-skills.asciinema-chunker.plist"

if ! [[ -f "$PLIST_PATH" ]]; then
  echo "Daemon not installed."
  exit 0
fi

if ! launchctl list 2>/dev/null | grep -q "asciinema-chunker"; then
  echo "Daemon not running."
  exit 0
fi

echo "RUNNING"
CHECK_EOF

Stop Daemon

/usr/bin/env bash << 'STOP_EOF'
PLIST_PATH="$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cc-skills.asciinema-chunker.plist"

if launchctl unload "$PLIST_PATH"; then
  echo "Daemon stopped"

  # Verify
  sleep 1
  if launchctl list 2>/dev/null | grep -q "asciinema-chunker"; then
    echo "WARNING: Daemon may still be running"
  else
    echo "Confirmed: Daemon is no longer running"
  fi
else
  echo "ERROR: Failed to stop daemon"
  exit 1
fi
STOP_EOF

Output

On success:

Daemon stopped
Confirmed: Daemon is no longer running

Notes

  • Stopping the daemon does NOT delete credentials from Keychain
  • To restart: /asciinema-tools:daemon-start
  • The daemon will NOT auto-start on next login until started again

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
Failed to stop daemon Launchd error Try launchctl unload -F <plist-path>
Daemon still running Multiple instances Kill manually: pkill -f asciinema-chunker
Can't find plist Setup not run Run /asciinema-tools:daemon-setup first
Recordings not stopping asciinema rec is running Exit recording shell first (Ctrl-D or type exit)

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.
