wakey-wakey

Keeps your Mac awake during Claude Code sessions by running caffeinate after every tool use.

Use it for:

• Preventing Mac sleep during long-running tasks
• Keeping your display active while Claude works
• Avoiding interrupted sessions due to system sleep

How it works:

• Adds a PostToolUse hook that runs after every tool invocation
• Uses macOS's built-in caffeinate command with a 5-minute timeout
• Each tool use resets the timer, so your Mac stays awake during active sessions

Install:

/plugin install wakey-wakey@alecf-claude-skills

• Agents - Autonomous task handlers
• Hooks - Event-driven automation

This marketplace currently focuses on skills-based plugins, providing Claude with domain expertise for specialized tasks.

Plugin Zips (*-plugin-*.zip)

• For: Claude Code marketplace or manual plugin installation
• Contains: Full plugin structure with .claude-plugin/plugin.json, skills, and metadata
