Why use it?
It stops background task monitoring when you no longer want autonomous work running.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Good fit Use it to stop the daemon, wait for current work to finish, or force a stop if it does not exit within 10 seconds.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

stop scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Stop Nights Watch Daemon

Stops the running Claude Nights Watch daemon gracefully, halting all autonomous task execution monitoring.

Usage

/nights-watch stop

What It Does

  1. Locates the running daemon process
  2. Sends graceful shutdown signal (SIGTERM)
  3. Waits up to 10 seconds for clean shutdown
  4. Force kills if necessary (SIGKILL)
  5. Cleans up PID file and resources

Behavior

  • Graceful Shutdown: Daemon completes current operations before stopping
  • 10-Second Timeout: If not stopped gracefully, force kill is applied
  • Safe: Any running Claude task is allowed to complete
  • Clean State: All PID files and locks are removed

Examples

/nights-watch stop

Implementation

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/claude-nights-watch-manager.sh stop

Exit Codes

  • 0 - Daemon stopped successfully
  • 1 - Daemon was not running or error occurred

See Also

  • /nights-watch start - Start the daemon
  • /nights-watch restart - Restart the daemon
  • /nights-watch status - Check if daemon is running

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
