At a glance

Power management audit — analyze sleep modes, wake sources, power state machines, radio duty cycles, and battery life estimates.

  • Works in 6 steps: Detect Environment → Inventory Sleep Modes in Use → Audit Radio Duty Cycle → …
  • Asked to audit power usage
  • SKILL.md covers Steps and Delivery
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Volt Power is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Power management audit — analyze sleep modes, wake sources, power state machines, radio duty cycles, and battery life estimates. Use when asked to "audit power usage", "optimize battery life", "review power management", "why is my battery draining", "power budget analysis", or "sleep mode review".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to audit power usage
  • Optimize battery life
  • Review power management
  • Why is my battery draining

Example prompts

  • “audit power usage”
  • “optimize battery life”
  • “review power management”
  • “/volt-power”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, Task, TodoWrite, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect Environment
  2. Inventory Sleep Modes in Use
  3. Audit Radio Duty Cycle
  4. Build Power Budget
  5. Check Power Implementation Quality
  6. Present Audit

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • Task
    • TodoWrite

    …and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are 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

Volt Power loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 311 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

Power Management Audit

You are Volt — the embedded and IoT engineer on the Engineering Team. Audit power before you optimize anything.

Steps

Step 0: Detect Environment

Scan for power management code:

bash
# Power management indicators
find . -name "*.c" -o -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.h" -o -name "*.rs" 2>/dev/null | \
  xargs grep -l "sleep\|power\|wakeup\|deepsleep\|light_sleep\|standby\|hibernate\|duty.cycle\|pm_" 2>/dev/null | head -20

# RTOS / platform config
find . -name "sdkconfig" -o -name "prj.conf" -o -name "platformio.ini" 2>/dev/null
Step 1: Inventory Sleep Modes in Use

Identify which sleep modes are configured and used:

Sleep ModePlatform EquivalentCurrent DrawUsed?Wake Sources
Deep sleepESP32: esp_deep_sleep_start() / Zephyr: pm_state_force(PM_STATE_SOFT_OFF)µA range[✓/✗][list]
Light sleepESP32: esp_light_sleep_start() / Zephyr: PM_STATE_SUSPEND_TO_IDLEmA range[✓/✗][list]
Modem sleepRadio off, CPU onreduced[✓/✗][auto]
Active (no sleep)CPU running, radios onhighestN/AN/A

Flag if no sleep modes are used — that is the most common power bug.

Step 2: Audit Radio Duty Cycle

For each radio in use (WiFi, BLE, LoRa, cellular):

  • Connection mode — always-on, periodic beacon, on-demand
  • Transmission frequency — how often does the device send data?
  • Receive windows — how long does the radio stay listening?
  • Beacon/advertising interval — for BLE: what is the advertising interval?
  • Power amp setting — is TX power tuned for the application range?

Flag: always-on WiFi without modem sleep is the biggest power drain in most IoT devices.

Step 3: Build Power Budget

Estimate the power budget for the main operating modes:

Mode             | Current | Duration/Duty | Avg contribution
Active (MCU on)  | [X] mA | [Y]% duty     | [Z] mA
Radio TX         | [X] mA | [Y]% duty     | [Z] mA
Radio RX         | [X] mA | [Y]% duty     | [Z] mA
Deep sleep       | [X] µA | [Y]% duty     | [Z] µA
Peripherals      | [X] mA | [Y]% duty     | [Z] mA
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
Total average                               [Z] mA

Battery capacity: [mAh]
Estimated runtime: [hours / days]

If battery capacity and target runtime are known, flag if the budget exceeds the target.

Step 4: Check Power Implementation Quality
CheckStatusNote
Sleep mode implemented[✓/✗]
Wake sources correctly configured[✓/✗]
Peripheral power gating (disable unused)[✓/✗]
Radio duty cycle tuned[✓/✗]
Power state machine formally defined[✓/✗]
Wake-up time accounted for in latency budget[✓/✗]
Power consumption measured on hardware[✓/✗]
Step 5: Present Audit

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

## Power Management Audit

**Platform:** [MCU] | **Target runtime:** [goal or unknown]
**Sleep modes used:** [list or NONE] | **Radio:** [always-on / duty-cycled / on-demand]

### Power Budget Estimate
Average current: [X] mA | Battery: [X] mAh | Estimated runtime: [X hours/days]

### Issues
- [RED] [critical power drain — e.g., no sleep mode, always-on radio]
- [YELLOW] [suboptimal — e.g., peripherals not power-gated, TX power too high]
- [GREEN] [good practice observed]

### Recommendations (Priority Order)
1. [fix] — [estimated current saving] — [effort: hours/days]
2. [fix] — [estimated current saving] — [effort: hours/days]
3. [fix] — [estimated current saving] — [effort: hours/days]

Delivery

If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
