# Clacky skill

## 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.

## How to use it

1.  1
    
    Connect Clacky first
    
    Turn on Settings → Connect AI tools and add Clacky to Claude Code.
    
2.  2
    
    Read it
    
    Open the SKILL.md linked on this page. It’s short.
    
3.  3
    
    Install it
    
    Run the one command on this page in Terminal. It saves the file to ~/.claude/skills/clacky/SKILL.md.
    

## Questions

Do I need the skill?

No. Clacky’s tools work without it. The skill just helps Claude Code pick the right one at the right time.

What’s in it?

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