SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing an Eight Sleep pod normally requires the mobile app, making it hard to automate temperature adjustments, alarms, and 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 like eightctl status and eightctl on|off. - Temperature & Base Control: Set target temperature and adjust the adjustable base angle. - Alarms, Schedules & Audio: List, create, and dismiss alarms, manage schedules, and control audio playback. - Use Case: Ask your agent to lower the bed temperature to 20 degrees and confirm tomorrow's alarm before you sleep, all without opening the Eight Sleep app. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to check your Eight Sleep pod status and set the temperature to 20 degrees using eightctl.
