Plain Markdown, no code: when to use each tool, how to call it, and what Clacky keeps private. Read it before you install it.

What it is

The Clacky skill is one short Markdown file that tells Claude Code when each Clacky tool is worth using: an alert when a long task ends or it needs you, Keep Awake during a long run, a screenshot to check a UI, Grab Text to read an error.

It also keeps things light: one alert at the end of a task, not after every step, and no screenshots in a loop.
