/asciinema-tools:daemon-stop

Stop the asciinema chunker daemon via launchd.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Execution

Check if Running

/usr/bin/env bash << 'CHECK_EOF'
PLIST_PATH="$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cc-skills.asciinema-chunker.plist"

if ! [[ -f "$PLIST_PATH" ]]; then
  echo "Daemon not installed."
  exit 0
fi

if ! launchctl list 2>/dev/null | grep -q "asciinema-chunker"; then
  echo "Daemon not running."
  exit 0
fi

echo "RUNNING"
CHECK_EOF

Stop Daemon

/usr/bin/env bash << 'STOP_EOF'
PLIST_PATH="$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cc-skills.asciinema-chunker.plist"

if launchctl unload "$PLIST_PATH"; then
  echo "Daemon stopped"

  # Verify
  sleep 1
  if launchctl list 2>/dev/null | grep -q "asciinema-chunker"; then
    echo "WARNING: Daemon may still be running"
  else
    echo "Confirmed: Daemon is no longer running"
  fi
else
  echo "ERROR: Failed to stop daemon"
  exit 1
fi
STOP_EOF

Output

On success:

Daemon stopped
Confirmed: Daemon is no longer running

Notes

Stopping the daemon does NOT delete credentials from Keychain
To restart:
```
/asciinema-tools:daemon-start
```
The daemon will NOT auto-start on next login until started again

Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
Failed to stop daemon	Launchd error	Try `launchctl unload -F <plist-path>`
Daemon still running	Multiple instances	Kill manually: `pkill -f asciinema-chunker`
Can't find plist	Setup not run	Run `/asciinema-tools:daemon-setup` first
Recordings not stopping	asciinema rec is running	Exit recording shell first (Ctrl-D or type exit)

Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
Did parameters or output change? — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
Was a workaround needed? — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.

Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
