Timebuzzer Led Skill for Claude
Control timeBuzzer hardware LED via MIDI — set color, effects (pulse, strobe, rainbow, fade), and semantic status signals. Use when the user asks to change the buzzer LED color, signal status through the buzzer, or sync the buzzer with other lighting.

python3 ~/.claude/skills/timebuzzer-led/scripts/buzzer_led.py strobe red --count 5 --interval 0.15
python3 ~/.claude/skills/timebuzzer-led/scripts/buzzer_led.py rainbow --seconds 5
python3 ~/.claude/skills/timebuzzer-led/scripts/buzzer_led.py fade warm --seconds 2
Status signals (parallel to hue skill)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/timebuzzer-led/scripts/buzzer_led.py signal success
python3 ~/.claude/skills/timebuzzer-led/scripts/buzzer_led.py signal thinking --seconds 5
| signal | color | effect |
|---|---|---|
| success/done | green | solid |
| error | red | strobe |
| warning | orange | pulse |
| thinking | blue | pulse |
| working | cyan | pulse |
| idle | warm | solid |
| attention | magenta | strobe |
| focus | purple | solid |
Per-segment control
python3 ~/.claude/skills/timebuzzer-led/scripts/buzzer_led.py segment 0 255 0 0 # seg 0 red
python3 ~/.claude/skills/timebuzzer-led/scripts/buzzer_led.py segment 1 0 255 0 # seg 1 green
python3 ~/.claude/skills/timebuzzer-led/scripts/buzzer_led.py segment 2 0 0 255 # seg 2 blue
Protocol details
- USB MIDI device (vendor 0x16D0, product 0x1170)
- Sends/receives MIDI CC on channel 12 (status byte 187/0xBB)
- LED output: CC 70-78 for 3 segments x 3 channels (R, G, B)
- Values: 0-127 (half of standard 0-255 RGB)
- The timeBuzzer app controls LED based on active project color; this script overrides it directly
Syncing with Hue
Use the same signal vocabulary as the hue skill. Example combined command:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/timebuzzer-led/scripts/buzzer_led.py signal success &
python3 ~/.claude/skills/hue/scripts/hue.py signal success --group 1

Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.
Analyzes job descriptions and generates tailored resumes that highlight relevant experience, skills, and achievements to maximize interview chances
Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.
Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.
Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation.
Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
How to use it
Take glebis/timebuzzer-led from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference pip.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
