wol-sleep-pc

This skill provides two small, well-tested scripts to send Wake-on-LAN (WOL) and Sleep-on-LAN (SOL) magic packets to a target machine on the same LAN. The skill is intentionally configurable and does not ship with any real MAC/IP defaults — defaults are zeroed and must be provided via CLI flags or a local config file.

Files provided:

• scripts/send_wol.py — Send a standard WOL magic packet.
• scripts/send_sleep.py — Send a SOL (inverted-MAC) magic packet.
• README.md — Usage examples and install notes.
• .gitignore — Ensures local config is not committed.

Quick usage

• From the repository root:

python3 scripts/send_wol.py --mac 24:4B:FE:CA:90:99 --broadcast 192.168.1.255

• Send SOL (inverted MAC):

python3 scripts/send_sleep.py --mac 99:90:CA:FE:4B:24 --broadcast 192.168.1.255

Config file (recommended)

• Path: ~/.config/wol-sleep-pc/config.json
• Example content:

{ "mac": "24:4B:FE:CA:90:99", "sleep_mac": "99:90:CA:FE:4B:24", "broadcast": "192.168.1.255", "port": 9 }

• Behavior: scripts load values from this file if present; any CLI flags override the config file values.
• The repository .gitignore ignores config files so secrets remain local.

Agent usage patterns

• "wake PC" — run send_wol.py with configured values.
• "sleep PC" — run send_sleep.py with configured inverted MAC.
• "send WOL now" / "send SOL now" — immediate send.

Design notes and safety

• Scripts require Python 3 and permission to send UDP broadcast packets from the runtime host.
• The skill assumes L2 connectivity to the target LAN; if running from a different network segment, configure the correct broadcast address or run the script from a host on the same LAN.
• Defaults are intentionally zeroed to avoid leaking sensitive addresses when the skill is published.

Publishing guidance

• The repo is safe to publish to ClawHub as-is because it contains no real MAC/IP values and ignores local config.
• Add a LICENSE if you want to publish under a specific license.

When to trigger this skill

• Trigger when the user explicitly requests waking or sleeping a machine on their LAN, or asks to save or update local WOL/SOL config. The scripts are small and deterministic; prefer executing the scripts rather than re-generating the packet code each time.
