Sleep Snooze
ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
The skill is mostly a local sleep-notification snoozer, but it can automatically reply to senders with your sleep status and schedule despite the main instructions saying messages should be silently queued.
Review this skill before installing if you care about privacy around your sleep schedule. It stores sleeping-hours messages locally, adds persistent cron jobs, and may automatically tell senders that you are asleep and when you wake up. If you install it, inspect the dm-guard behavior, protect the local data directory, and know how to remove the cron entries.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
People who message you during sleep hours may automatically be told that you are asleep and when you wake up.
This hook can send a provider-visible auto-reply that discloses the user's sleep status and sleep window. That is broader than simply snoozing notifications and conflicts with SKILL.md's instruction to not reply to senders during sleep unless urgent.
event.messages.push(`💤 ${senderName}, the user is currently sleeping (${state.sleepStart}–${state.wakeTime} ${state.timezone}). ` + `Your message has been saved and they'll see it in their morning digest at ${state.wakeTime}.`)Install only if you want automatic sender replies. Otherwise disable or edit the dm-guard hook before use, and confirm the skill's behavior with a test message.
Other agents may delay or queue their messages while sleep mode is active.
The hook injects a sleep-mode bootstrap file into agent context telling agents not to send messages and to use gate.js before sending. This is purpose-aligned but affects all agents during sleep mode.
event.context.bootstrapFiles.push({ basename: 'SLEEP_MODE_ACTIVE.md', content: buildSleepNotice(state, QUEUE_SCRIPT) });Use this only if you want sleep mode to apply globally across OpenClaw agents and providers.
Private messages received during sleep are stored locally until delivered or reset.
The skill persists message contents and sender details in a local SQLite queue for later digest generation.
INSERT INTO queue (provider, sender_id, sender_name, message, received_at) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, datetime('now'))Protect the local data directory, avoid installing on shared machines, and periodically clear the queue/history if needed.
The skill will continue performing scheduled local actions after setup until the cron entries are removed.
Setup writes recurring cron jobs so the skill continues to run sleep activation and digest scripts automatically.
const sleepJob = `${sleepCron} node ${scriptDir}/set-sleep-mode.js --mode sleep`; ... execSync(`crontab ${tmpFile}`);Review `crontab -l` after setup and remove the sleep-snooze entries if you uninstall or no longer want automatic operation.
Installation depends on packages resolved from the npm ecosystem at install time.
The supplied install metadata names npm packages without pinned versions in the reviewed artifacts.
install:
- kind: node
package: better-sqlite3
- kind: node
package: node-cronInstall from a trusted registry environment and prefer pinned or reviewed dependency versions where possible.
