The target stops acting but wakes up intact. No data loss, no corruption, no permanent change. In this grimoire, Sleep is treated as a hybrid spell with a shipping-now delivery profile. Canonical reference input: Sleep (spell). ## When To Use - Keywords: pause, suspend, hibernate, DND, maintenance window, cooldown, quiet mode, silence temporarily, freeze (with resume), graceful degradation - Patterns requiring all three: - Something must stop acting for a defined period - State/queue/context must be preserved during the stop - A wake condition exists (timer, threshold, manual trigger, external event) ## Prerequisites - Environment variables available to Hermes: `HA_URL`, `HA_TOKEN`. - Primary credential or token: `HA_TOKEN`. - Binaries on PATH: `curl`. ## Setup 1. Confirm the required environment variables are available inside the active Hermes runtime, not just in a shell profile. 2. Verify the required binaries resolve on PATH before you rely on them in a procedure. 3. Choose a non-production or low-risk target first if the skill can page, unlock, alert, or touch a live integration. ## Procedure 1. Restate the target, the success condition, and any no-touch boundaries before taking action. 2. Identify the sleeper: What exact process, channel, service, or workflow stops? 3. Define the boundary: What stops, what keeps running, what queues for later? 4. Set the wake condition: Timer? Manual trigger? Threshold? External event? Must have one. 5. Verify state preservation: Confirm nothing is lost—only deferred. List what persists. 6. Return the plan: Sleep configuration + wake conditions + state-preservation checklist. 7. Package the result as the deliverables below, with confidence, assumptions, and unresolved risk called out explicitly. ## Deliverables - Sleep configuration: what suspends, what stays active, what queues - Wake conditions: how/when resume happens - State-preservation checklist: confirmation nothing is lost ## Pitfalls / Guardrails - Keep the theatrical framing, but name the concrete mechanism that makes the skill useful right now. - Do not use for: "Permanently decommission" / "never come back" → Kill, not Sleep - Do not use for: "Shut it down right now" / "pull offline" / "kill it" → Kill, not Sleep - Do not use for: "Lock their credentials" / "prevent any further queries" → Access control, not Sleep - Do not use for: "Paralyze a competing process" / "hard block" → Resource blocking, not Sleep - Do not use for: "Team-wide agreement" / "communication norms" → Policy, not Sleep - Do not use for: "Reduce fan noise" / "HVAC configuration" → Hardware config, not Sleep - Do not use for: No wake condition defined → Bug, not Sleep (ask for one) - Do not rely on a live integration until credentials, target scope, and rollback expectations are verified. ## Verification - Check that the result includes every deliverable promised above. - Check that confirmed facts, assumptions, and inferences are visibly separated. - Check which parts are concrete actions versus framing, so the user can tell what is real now. - Check the required environment variables and binaries in the active Hermes runtime before trusting the procedure on a live target. ## Example Invocation ```text /sleep design a graceful suspension plan for this [system/process/notification channel]. Define what stops, what queues, and how it wakes up ``` ## Source & license This open-source skill is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [Hmbown](https://github.com/Hmbown) - **Source:** [Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts](https://github.com/Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts) - **License:** CC0-1.0 Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** yes - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/skill-hmbown-wizards-of-the-ghosts-sleep - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/hmbown - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
