SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing an Eight Sleep pod normally requires the official mobile app, making it hard to automate bedtime routines, check pod status, or adjust temperature from scripts and AI assistants. This Skill exposes pod control through the eightctl command-line tool. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pod Status & Power: Check current pod state and turn the pod on or off with simple commands. - Temperature Control: Set target temperatures (e.g., eightctl temp 20) for sleep optimization. - Alarms & Schedules: List, create, and dismiss alarms, and manage temperature schedules programmatically. - Audio & Base Control: Play or pause audio and inspect or adjust the adjustable base angle. - Use Case: Before bed, ask the assistant to lower the pod temperature to 20 degrees, confirm tomorrow's alarm is set, and pause any playing audio — all in one request. ## Quick Start Use the eightctl skill to check my Eight Sleep pod status and set the temperature to 20 degrees.
