Nightshift gives Codex accountable, time-bounded coding shifts. Hand it your punch list, or let it research the product, rank opportunities, and ship complete improvements until quitting time. Progress stays on disk—goals, remaining work, parked decisions, and the exact next action—so compaction or resume cannot quietly clock out with open boxes. Hooks enforce your safety rules. The morning is reviewable commits or artifact receipts, a shift log, and the decisions that were made. When you are done reviewing the run, archive it dated so the live session stays lean. Open a persistent project in Codex — a Git repository or a local folder — or connect its GitHub repository; a temporary ChatGPT scratch workspace is the wrong place for a night.
Example prompts
- “Set up Nightshift and show me the highest-value work it can do in this project.”
- “Add new features and improve existing ones for 10 hours.”
- “Raise test coverage and quality for 10 hours. Add safe local development tools when needed.”
Skills
archive
File a finished shift into its own archive folder, laid out like the live site, so the live files keep only open work.
doctor
Read-only diagnosis of the workspace, rules, markers, lease, watchman and deadline, with classified next actions.
hunt
Compose a shift from the ready catalog under one time budget, guided or automatic, reviewed first or run directly.
import-issues
Stage explicitly selected GitHub issues onto the drafting table as quoted source; never searches or writes back.
nightshift
Work a punch list to completion autonomously — overnight, through a todo list, or until a product is polished — parking decisions and leaving receipts.
purge
Permanently delete this project's Nightshift state; does not uninstall the plugin.
quality
Compose a shift that works the project's quality debt: tests, code, accessibility, contracts, docs, dependencies, security.
reset
Drop the runtime markers and deadline without deleting the owner's work or evidence.
schedule
Print the launchd, cron or Task Scheduler config that starts a shift at a fixed time; registers nothing.
setup
Scaffold .nightshift/ and propose quality gates for this stack; asks, never imposes.
start
Begin the shift from the punch list without asking, so scheduled and headless runs behave like interactive ones.
status
Read-only shift status: items, parked decisions, snags, deadline, STOP or stall state.
Show all 13Show fewer
stop
Issue a stop-work order: pause the shift now, leaving unfinished items open.
