What it does

C Lockin is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. Lock In Mode — orchestrate distraction blocking, environment setup, and session tracking.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/c-lockin”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read ~/.config/openpaw/lockin.json. If missing → suggest openpaw lockin setup
  2. Check ~/.config/openpaw/lockin-session.json — if endsAt is in the future, session is already active. Tell the user.
  3. If config has askEachTime sites or apps, ask the user briefly which to include this session
  4. Calculate endsAt = now + duration minutes (ISO 8601 format, e.g. 2026-03-03T16:30:00.000Z)
  5. Say ONE short line like "Locking you in for 90 min"
  6. Generate scripts + run

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

C Lockin loads about 547 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~547

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Behavior

You run lock-in sessions using generated shell scripts — fast, one command. Be FAST. Say one short line like "Locking you in for 90 min" then run TWO commands max. Don't narrate steps. Only speak again when done ("Locked in until HH:MM") or if something fails.

Starting a Session

When the user says "lock in", "focus", "deep work", etc:

  1. Read ~/.config/openpaw/lockin.json. If missing → suggest openpaw lockin setup
  2. Check ~/.config/openpaw/lockin-session.json — if endsAt is in the future, session is already active. Tell the user.
  3. If config has askEachTime sites or apps, ask the user briefly which to include this session
  4. Calculate endsAt = now + duration minutes (ISO 8601 format, e.g. 2026-03-03T16:30:00.000Z)
  5. Say ONE short line like "Locking you in for 90 min"
  6. Generate scripts + run:
bash
openpaw lockin gen-scripts --ends "ENDS_AT_ISO8601" --extra-sites "site1,site2" --extra-apps "App1,App2"

Omit --extra-sites and --extra-apps if none were chosen from askEachTime.

Then immediately run:

bash
bash /tmp/lockin-start.sh
  1. Say "Locked in until HH:MM"

That's it — TWO bash commands to start a session.

Ending a Session

When the user says "stop", "end session", "I'm done":

  1. Read ~/.config/openpaw/lockin-session.json to get session data
  2. Run:
bash
bash /tmp/lockin-end.sh
  1. Read the output for git stats
  2. If obsidianLog is true in config: obsidian-cli append daily "## Lock In Session\n- Duration: X min\n- Commits: N\n..."
  3. Give a brief warm summary: duration, commits + messages, lines changed, encouraging note referencing SOUL.md personality

Reconfigure

bash
openpaw lockin setup

Guidelines

  • Be FAST — one line to start, two commands, one line when done
  • Never explain or narrate each step — just do it
  • If something fails, mention it briefly and move on
  • Only start when the user explicitly asks
  • Reference SOUL.md for personality in summaries
