SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing an Eight Sleep pod normally requires the mobile app, making it hard to automate temperature changes, alarms, or schedules from scripts or an AI agent. This Skill exposes pod control through the eightctl command-line tool. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pod Status & Power: Check pod status and turn it on or off with simple commands. - Temperature Control: Set target temperature (e.g., eightctl temp 20) for sleep optimization. - Alarms & Schedules: List, create, update, and dismiss alarms and sleep schedules. - Audio & Base Control: Manage audio playback and adjustable base angle. - Use Case: Automate a bedtime routine that lowers pod temperature, sets a morning alarm, and confirms the pod is on — all from a single agent instruction. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to check your Eight Sleep pod status and set the temperature to 20 degrees using eightctl.
