Prevents macOS system sleep during long-running tasks and developer workflows.
The Caffeinate Manager skill provides a seamless interface for Claude to control macOS system sleep settings, ensuring your machine stays awake during intensive operations. It wraps the native macOS `caffeinate` utility, allowing you to programmatically start, stop, and check the status of sleep prevention directly within your terminal session. This is particularly useful for long code compilations, large data transfers, or extended debugging sessions where a system sleep would interrupt progress. The skill also includes a SessionEnd hook to automatically restore default sleep settings when your session concludes.
