What it does
Anti Sleep is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Keep a Mac awake with caffeinate during long builds, downloads, or supervised automation runs.
Its SKILL.md is about 850 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: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/anti-sleep”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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
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
Anti Sleep loads about 851 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 342 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Anti-Sleep (macOS caffeinate)
When to Use
- Use when the user wants the Mac to stay awake during a long supervised task.
- Use when a build, download, or automation run should not be interrupted by sleep.
Keep the Mac awake using the built-in caffeinate command. No install needed.
Quick start — the standard command
caffeinate -d -i -t 7200 # full power: screen stays on + no idle sleep, for 2 hoursDuration is -t <seconds>: 2h = 7200, 7h = 25200, overnight (9h) = 32400.
Aggressiveness levels
| Flags | Effect |
|---|---|
-i | prevents idle system sleep only (screen may still dim/lock) |
-d | prevents display sleep (screen stays on) |
-d -i | default choice — screen on + system awake |
-d -i -s | adds -s: prevents sleep even on AC power semantics; -s only works when plugged in |
-u -t 1 | simulates user activity — wakes the display right now |
Default to -d -i -t <seconds> unless the user says otherwise.
Tie to a process instead of a timer
caffeinate -d -i -w <PID> # stays awake until that process exits (great for builds)
caffeinate -i npm run build # wraps a command; exits when the command finishesRun it in a visible terminal (cmux pane)
Prefer running it in the user's own terminal pane so it's visible and easy to Ctrl+C. In cmux (read the cmux skill first if interacting with panes):
cmux send --surface surface:<N> "caffeinate -d -i -t 25200\n"Otherwise run it as a background Bash task. Never block your own foreground shell with it.
Verify and monitor
pgrep -fl caffeinate # is it running? shows exact flags
ps -o etime= -p <PID> # how long it's been running
pmset -g assertions | grep -i deny # confirm sleep assertions are activeGotcha: caffeinate prints nothing and holds the prompt — it looks "stuck" or like Enter wasn't pressed. It isn't stuck. Verify with pgrep, not by looking at the terminal.
Expiry: with -t it exits silently when time runs out — no notification. If the user asks "is it still on?" after hours, check pgrep first; it may simply have expired.
Keyboard backlight
caffeinate cannot keep the keyboard backlight on — it has its own inactivity timer with no CLI/API on Apple Silicon (researched 2026-07). Fix is manual, one-time: System Settings > Keyboard > "Turn keyboard backlight off after inactivity" > Never.
Stop early
pkill -f "caffeinate -d -i" # or Ctrl+C in the pane running itAfter starting: confirm to the user the PID, the flags, and the wall-clock time it will expire.
