jarrettmeyer/skills v1.0.0

Introducing v1.0.0 of my Claude Code skills plugin: caffeinate, uv, podman, and scrapling.

I’ve published v1.0.0 of my Claude Code skills plugin at github.com/jarrettmeyer/skills. It’s a collection of reusable skills — slash commands and instructions that you can install and invoke directly inside Claude Code.

Installation

claude plugin install jarrettmeyer/skills

After installation, the skills are available under the jarrettmeyer: namespace.

caffeinate

Ever kick off a long build, a deployment, or a model training run and walk away? Then you come back and find your Mac fell asleep halfway through?

macOS has a built-in utility for this called caffeinate. It prevents the system from sleeping. The problem is remembering the flags. The -d flag prevents display sleep. The -i flag prevents idle sleep. The -m flag prevents disk sleep. The -s flag prevents system sleep. The -u flag declares a user-active assertion. And you need to run it in the background with & so it doesn’t block your terminal.

Now you don’t have to remember any of that.

/jarrettmeyer:caffeinate Stay awake for 1 hour

Claude calculates the number of seconds, kills any existing caffeinate process so they don’t stack, and runs the new one in the background. You can also say “stay awake until 4:30 pm”, “keep my computer awake”, or “stop caffeinate”. This skill handles all of it.

uv

If you’ve been doing Python development for more than five minutes, you’ve felt the pain: pip vs pip3, virtualenvs you forgot to activate, projects that break because they share a global Python installation, and the endless which python guessing game.

uv solves most of this. It’s a fast Python package and project manager that handles dependencies, virtual environments, tool installs (like pipx), and Python version management (like pyenv) — all in one tool.

The jarrettmeyer:uv skill teaches Claude how to use it. Need to add a dependency? Run a one-off script without touching your project? Install ruff globally? Switch a project to Python 3.13? Claude knows the right uv command for each of these.

/jarrettmeyer:uv Add httpx to this project as a dependency

/jarrettmeyer:uv Run this script with pandas and openpyxl available, without modifying pyproject.toml

Podman

Podman is a daemonless, rootless container engine. It’s CLI-compatible with Docker, so most commands are a straight swap — but it doesn’t require a background daemon and doesn’t need root.

The jarrettmeyer:podman skill covers building images, running containers, Compose workflows, logs, volumes, and networking. It also handles log analysis by spawning a subagent to keep the main context clean. Quite useful when you need to dig through hundreds of lines of container output without losing your place.

/jarrettmeyer:podman Build this container and run it on port 8080

/jarrettmeyer:podman Show me the errors from the api container logs

Scrapling

Web scraping is annoying. Static sites are easy until they’re not. JS-rendered pages need a headless browser. Some sites actively fight you with bot detection and Cloudflare challenges. Libraries that worked last year break when the site updates its markup.

Scrapling handles all of this through a single consistent API. You pick a fetcher — Fetcher for plain HTML, StealthyFetcher for bot-protected sites, or DynamicFetcher for JS-rendered content. Tnd the extraction syntax is identical regardless.

The jarrettmeyer:scrapling skill knows how to pick the right fetcher, write the extraction code, and run it with uv run --with scrapling so there’s no install step or virtualenv required. Output goes to a local .scrapling/ directory to keep scraping artifacts out of your project root.
